Thankful But Still Depressed by Susan

I enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving with my family.  We all traveled to my daughter's home in Kansas City, MO.  We had a wonderful dinner and a really good time.  I was still stressed out and depressed through most of the Holiday.

There were no particular stressors and no particular problems that were on my mind.  Yet, I felt the cloud of depression trying to invade my happiness.  I tried to keep it at bay by talking.  I talked too much!  I jabbered and monopolized some of the conversations due to the anxiety I feel when I'm around a group of people, even my closest relatives. 

Depression/Anxiety causes me a lot of stress and frequently attempts to ruin our family get-to-gethers.  I didn't let this holiday be ruined and I'm thankful for that.  All went as smoothly as I could expect, considering everyone in the family has varying degrees of depression. 

I think you could say we did well keeping things pleasant this year.  How was your holiday?
