Reply To: holiday blues

adorable-thanks, I do thank Hashem for what I had, but it doesn’t make me feel joyous at present

BaalHabooze-thank you for your understanding.

Right now out of town sounds GREAT as I’d like to be far, far away from here, and no, I have no family here. Made a temporary place if ok with mods aycamyisrael on the gmail account for specifics, if you wish.May I ask where OOT? Don’t know how to get through the next few days isolated

matziv chapper-thank you for the vort; if you could post the link that prints it all online, Hebrew or English, that would be very helpful.

yitayningwut-thank you for the chizuk. If you could post the link that prints it all online, Hebrew or English, that would be very helpful.

SYAG- that’s so great that you were able to pull it together. This speaks to your courage and inner strength. Thank you for your offer, that’s extremely kind!y!

As far as spending time with people who make me feel good, they are busy with their own families. As much as I don’t like to ask for favors, I did mention that YO”T is difficult being alone but I’ve not been called much to join…

I’ve read books on the topic which vividly describe holiday time and birthdays, etc., as being particularly difficult and is normal to feel this way.

This still won’t change my nature to help others be”H, but it sure hurts
