"? re: holiday blues" , Sun 25 Nov 12:26

Hello,
I have been taking 5-htp with great success. However the holidays are here and I am coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the "trigger event". I would really appreciate any other suggestions that people have to "get through" the holidays as well as deal with "anniversaries". I have slightly increased my dose and seem to be doing ok but again I'd love to hear any other non-med suggestions people have for beating the holiday blues.

Thanks so much.

In my opinion after one year the wound maybe still fresh. If it still hurts, you may want to give yourself a special time to revisit the "trigger event" let yourself have a good cry and then pull yourself together and get out and be with people that love and care about you. Keep busy, and don't be alone.

Don't deny what happened, you have to work through the feelings, 5htp and therapy can help.

Only now after 7 years can I visit my daughters grave without crying.
