No one calls, no one writes, I spent Thanksgiving alone all day and all night, I got off work and went to the park and walked all through the city looking at Christmas lights immersed in the dark, I listening to the radio being sometimes a little upbeat, thinking of how bad this holiday was as I walked the darkened street and feeling a silent sense of painful doubt that my lonely holidays will be doughty still as I walk through the gloaming with no end, no promise, no hope and no happiness, the death of my soul as dark misery cutting in like a knife, heavy with every foot fall of my gate into the night.

I like this! You should write down your thoughts and make a journal of them if you haven't done so already. Writing does help disburse negative feelings, and reading them afterwards is very therapeutic indeed, which I suspect is why you write your words.

I personally never got much out of the day. Gathering and making merry just got me down with even an once of thought about Health or how bad family relations are, at least for me. And negativity isn't so bad, if it is merited, and on the other side of the same token, being too upbeat about a happy holiday is Another form of distortion. I'm glad for my day, �be it that it was without Close family or all the helpings. Being away has done me some good, and cleared the mind. If I was at home, I'd be in the whirl of family problems and hacking at the same issues, going no where. I still might not be making any progress, but at least it's not because having to hang out with the same people.

I read that book tell us how you really feel. Its what you make it,like my dad always says about every day. "Its just another day..you go to 'work' and a couple more other thing he said, and that's " go have your life now" so that's what we do,we find our own paths. The advice that helps me when I start feeling down, is he would say "their is always someone worst of than you, you just have to take a look around..and you don't have to look very far. And that is an attitude he was raised with growing up in England at the end of ww2 with nothing,.. but they had chickens they could eat for Christmas and could give one out to nabors with less, because their was ALWAYS someone worse of than you Its attitude and until you start looking at that glass as half full opposed to half empty then you will remain in your gloom,as the answer is really within. A female reaching out to talk to you may serve as a quick fix as its a form of short term happiness.
