Depressed on Christmas
The holiday season is all about peace, joy, and goodwill… right? That’s certainly the ideal, but the truth is that many people struggle with depression during Christmas, ground down by hectic holiday schedules or feelings of loneliness.
Christians are certainly not immune to depression. If you’re stuck in the holiday blues this Christmas, the Christian Depression Pages ministry has a number of excellent articles about depression, which cut through popular myths about depression. If a family member or loved one is dealing with depression, you might want to read CDP’s list of things people say to depressed Christians to make sure you’re communicating in a way that helps, rather than hurts, the situation.
