Get ready for the holidays- today!
I’m planning my winter holidays right now. I tend to get very depressed when I don’t plan ahead. There is so much cheer around me! Holiday cheer! If only regular people knew what it’s like for us. Especially those of us who have some odd family dynamics!
What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Where will you go for the holidays in December? Do you have plans for New Year’s? No matter where you live, December and January are usually on a different schedule. Bipolar disorder doesn’t like schedule changes!
Suicides peak during the holidays. If we plan now- In September- we can make things really different this year and have some holiday cheer ourselves!

It’s interesting you say that suicides peak during holidays because those are the times when i have attempted. I had one big attempt and the other times something happened where just impulsive things that happened where i wasn’t thinking or i just tried to do it but stopped. I HATE the holidays. The only one i like is Halloween. It is like a huge tradition at my house to come up with the BEST decorations–home made too. Everyone gets scared to coem to our house! hahahah. I also like it because i can be someone i am not or wish i was…or just look sexy! but not tooo sexy. more classy. Holidays like thanksgiving and christmas are the worst holidays invented. It’s all because of family. My family are all depressed and alcoholics or have some sort of underlying problem so that is when i leave and scare people because they don’t know where i am or i feel suicidal…i just realized that just now. I get suicidal every winter. damn..
holidays are the worst for me. i get very depressed. i am bi polar but been on a constant lo lately only wishing for a high.
