A Little Reminder For All...

Heal After The Annual Christmas Blues At this time of the year, and for many throughout the year, it can be difficult for some dealing with depression, loss, or just trying to adjust to a new stage in one’s life. A friend of mine shared this post, and I really thought I should help spread the word to anyone needing some guidance or help. Hugs to all.

Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend is coming to a close for some it’s a big mind game! Some don’t function well during these holiday seasons due to previous episodes  / treasons. Your dude Brotha O dropped the science on it earlier when he mentioned Seasons / Reasons. But let me…

Single during the holidays

Am I the only one single, depressed and noticing that this holiday doesn't really feel like a holiday? Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and I'm always looking forward to the music, decorations, being with friends, family, and the vibe itself. This year feel different.. I'm single, my families are in a different country, my number of friends are cutting down and feeling alone and kinda depressed. The good things are: started a new job, not stressed, still alive and healthy. My point is.. even though I am feeling low and kinda depressed, everything in my life isn't that bad. Just felt like writing this and if there's someone out there that is feeling the same thing I'm feeling, just know that you ain't alone and maybe it's better this way than to be in a bad relationship or be surrounded by people who don't care about your well being. You are loved and there are better days coming your way.

New Years

I'm trying not to think about it anymore.

When I did, I couldn't help but think I haven't felt like I wasn't going to make the next year before. Not for a while, maybe once before.

Here it is again, need to prove myself wrong.

But it hurts a lot, everything that happened this year is hitting me hard because I was miserable for, the whole year.

The whole year, something was always wrong.

Always hurting me, and it hurts a lot today.

I want to cry, I want to physically bring this pain to the surface so I have something to cry about. Some reason to be hurting. Some reason to be as sad as I am.

Christmas if great...if you have family around to celebrate it.

Christmas is a great holiday...for people who have family.  All the gatherings, dinners, presents, and holiday cheer make for an amazing and festive time. People share memories with each other, laugh, and laugh about all the fun times they have had together.

For those of us that don’t have family or loved ones around, this holiday season in general.....kinda blows. No matter if it’s because our family has died or chosen to separate themselves. If they’re in a different country, state, or city (by choice or assignment) it all means the same thing.

Alone.

Listening to people talking about what they got for Christmas or all the parties that they had to bounce in between, the movies about families and love and how this is the time of the year that families come together.....is just...really difficult, to be honest.

Most of us don’t make the decision to be alone, it’s something that we were pushed into because of circumstances. It’s a learn to deal with it and adapt. We’ll try to play with others, try to attend some of the events we get invited to, even play with others during holiday events but sometimes, we’d rather curl up in a ball and just watch non holiday/christmas movies.

Judge us if you will, make your nasty/sarcastic comments about how it’s really our fault because we choose to keep ourselves out of the gatherings. You can say, “...there are probably friends that would welcome you with open arms if you just asked.” To the people that would say that, I say, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

The awkward, uncomfortable feeling that we have in normal circumstances only ends up being magnified when it feels like people are extending pity invites. The holiday’s are already difficult for us so there are times where that pity invite can actual add to it and make the situation worse.

So for those of you that do want to help, I give you ways to do just that:

1. Offer emotional support by listening. THIS - is the greatest gift that you can extend. I can’t put words down to properly express how this helps. Especially for people like me - who may actually fall into a bit of a depression around this time of year. Knowing that there are people who are willing to listen, to care, and support us without actually judging that is truly a holiday miracle.

2. If you really want to extend an offer for a party or event; make sure to include a statement about how its okay if they can’t come, decide to leave early, or change their mind at the last minute. The offer is open and for them to come and go when they need to. Knowing that you’re showing them an emergency exit means that it’s not just a ‘pity’ invite.

3. A simple text message/messenger IM actually does matter. You might not think it’s a big deal but that message can help remind someone that is in a rough spot remember that there are people out there that care for them and remember them.

4. Don’t attack, get angry, or annoyed if we pull away and crawl into the dark hole. It’s not anything against you but we’re just in a dark spot. Reaching out can help but if anyone is like myself, sometimes...it takes a little bit to crawl back out of the dark spot. Patience and understanding are blessings that we might not ask for but will thank you for in the end.

Just remember that this holiday season that there are those of us out there that don’t see happiness, joy, and bright happy seasons greetings. We struggle just to get through it and it’s always made easier when the people in our lives understand that and offer support.

Oh!! So Its Like That Huh? (Part Ten)

Oh!! So Its Like That Huh? (Part Ten)

Oh! so it’s like that huh? on this Thankful Thursday it’s a blessing to be here but check the state of emergency as storms roamed the sky, like Larry Munson told the Georgia Bulldogs they told us to hunker down. The question; per HAARP renderings is it man made? Oh! O-Dog? a veteran in the game who played in previous Throwback Thursday episodes  can see how the game is played, even out in space…

It's that time of year again.

Had the pleasure of getting to sit in on another podcast. This time I had the opportunity to listen former mayoral candidate and founder of Gardopia, Stephen Lucke and his work in providing this city healthy food options with his company’s gardens to combat San Antonio’s food deserts. I also had the chance to go on air, alongside another veteran to briefly share my military experience and give words of hope for those dealing with depression during the holidays. So honored and proud to be given the chance to spread that message ❤️ • | | | | #suicideprevention #suicideawarness #depression #holidaydepression #holidays #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mindandbody #veteran #vet #army #navy #ptsd #health #healthyfood #healthy eating #healthyliving #fitlife #food #ecofriendly #urbangarden #sanantonio #getitpodcast (at Alamo City Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ROEccg0gr/?igshid=9uw2jgt9ct16
