Keep your head up like your name sake...a walking horse has it's head up 

your Absolutely Right.. thank you Marquis.w.knight 

I've been called crooked arrow, all my arrows I tried making, as a boy came out crooked... I've yet to receive a man's name 

Ohhh honey! I’m so sorry. I understand, my mother died back in 2013 and I miss her everyday. It’s especially hard for my grand parents. She was their only child. I hope your sprites lift and you can enjoy the holidays. 

Hang in there, Walknhorse! I loved, Mr Knights response, he is correct! I dont know if you are Religious or not, but I take much solace in knowing that God Loves me, and that has brought me through many severe depressions! I suggest that you find something you love to do, like art, or music, and use that as as a defense from the darkness! Its helped me... Keep your head high! 

One thing, Walknhorse, if you have not done so yet, please consult your Dr about Depression, one small pill a day has most likely saved my life...  

I agree with Alan, a little pill can go a long way. I think the perfect way to avoid overthinking is to keep busy. This time of year is a great time to volunteer. Go to a senior center and talk to people, go to a shelter and pet puppies, start a toy drive for needy kids. You got this! 

Hang out with us. Start a thread and let's chat!!! 

Depression is something we can fix...it is why they make medicine for it and it's better to treat sooner rather than later. Don't think that there's something wrong with you, many people find the holidays depressing for a number of reasons. Try not to isolate yourself and I really like Seoneill's idea of petting puppies or any other fur babies. 

Have you tried meditation? I was skeptical but it has changed my life. Start out with just a few minutes aday thinking about the things you have that you are thankful for. Work up to longer if you can. It has made me happier and more grateful. I also live by myself and get very lonely.  

Something that blew me away was how drastically my mood/outlook were affected when I started eating Keto. Cannot recommend it highly enough, after seeing SO many helped by it. Ck out Common Sense Keto on FB, maybe? Hang in there. <3 

If you have friends or church, lean on them - Focus on people around you - Try to get together with family anytime during the year or now - Call them , text them , Facebook , snaptalk or whatever - The effort will be really appreciated by them - Don't be depressed because every person in the world has something goung on - In my prayers now and I know others too. Now that you shared, we are aware of this situation and will keep you I'm our hearts .
