Almost every year I just sit down and think about my life of New Years day really early in the morning. I just feel like crying and I get really depressed and existential.
This happens to me for my birthday for some reason. But yeah, I know what feeling you're talking about.
Everybody else is over here having the time of their lives, and I'm sitting in the corner doing nothing. Sort of hurts to sit down and think about how much of an un-accomplished wreck I am while everyone else is so happy. :dry:
No, thankfully. I haven't been depressed in a long time. I've been feeling somewhat optimistic. I used to get extreme holiday/new year depression/apathy. It was quite disturbing.
A bit. It's always odd to be reminded so abruptly of being one year closer to one's demise, as the arbitrary nature of time is so glaringly exposed. Odd, science can explain time, and yet, in a personal sense, in an inward, deep, psychological sense, it's as if we still know almost nothing about it; why it seems to elongate and contract, and so many other subjective details...
2015 sounded way better than 2016... Now seriously, I don't get depressed, but I'm on my 30s now and years just go by so quick it scares me.
I get like that basically everyday at some point of the day tbh. lol I try not to think too much about it around this time of the year to not make myself anxious though, I'll just hope for the best.
Not this year - I had to get up early and go to work on new years day, so no partying the night before. Last year I didn't have a job and was totally depressed and anxious about it. So things are slightly better for me this new year.
I don't get new year's depression, but I do take some time to think about what I have and haven't accomplished in the year that went by. You've always accomplished/learned/done something positive
Most holidays in general make me depressed. Birthday, Valentine's, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New year's, etc. I try not to think too much though or, like you, I get really depressed. I went and played video games with some people to keep my mind off things.
