Reply #3: I've suffered depression before on the holidays... [View All]

... when my first ex and I split up, then my 2nd, etc.

I think also, some people have very little family, or NONE at all, and they get very very depressed on holidays when everyone is supposed to be someplace that looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, lots of family, everyone loving everyone, everyone healthy, etc. So unreal. Life isn't that way is it?

There ought to be places where all good people that don't have much family could go spend Thanksgiving. Churches should all unite and for all their parishioners that don't have much family gather them together and have a big, huge Thanksgiving group go together to a restaurant, or celebrate a huge catered meal at some church on that day. (Each one paying their own you see). You know, a Thanksgiving dinner for people who aren't necessarily destitute but just don't have much family and would love to have a big, happy Thanksgiving.

Something like that.
