No more depressed than I am during other times of the year. But Christmas day is always a big challenge for me. It's one of the few times in the year that I am expected to be around lots of family members. I always curse the fact that everyone around me can socialise with such ease and comfort. Verbal reciprocation and spontaneity are still unbelievably difficult for me. It's only when I am drunk or high on weed that I can socialise to a reasonable standard, which is quite a sad reality for me to face.

can you be discreetly high on weed around your family?

The heavily bloodshot eyes are usually a giveaway. These could be concealed by wearing sunglasses, but I am sure that by opting for such a piece of conspicuous attire I would arose suspicions. :mrgreen:

do they sell visine in your country? good for getting the red out.

It's available to purchase in local pharmacies & on amazon.co.uk, too. But I don't particularly want to become a drug addict in order to help rectify my social difficulties.

....I am hoping to travel to Amsterdam soon. :twisted:

It is easy for me to not think about things especially the holidays since it doesn't feel like winter to me anymore, palm trees and cacti instead of snow does that. I spend more than enough time with my extend family tho I guess, I try to enjoy it for what it is. I don't think the depression I do have is seasonal.

I thought Amsterdam recently stiffened its pot laws to make it harder for people not Amsterdam citizens to get pot?

There goes another party fail for me.
Everyone comes over hopping and hallerin loud noises banging stomping screaming .... Nasty jokes like who did what and who made that smell..... Ughhhh so I get up and walk away..... I get the "why are you doing this your embeResing me "
I say just let me chill down for a minute.... I'm not like that it's not fun for me....
I imagine a party be like .... A little classy drink from a nice glass eat from a nice plate.... And everyone act civilized..... Nope that never happens here...
I'm always the bad guy and I hate it because it's always like this I can't "party" I'm a stick in the mud and that works fine r me.... Why does everyone want me to be like them and they can't even try to be like me..... I am truly on the wrong plant

I chose ice cream, too.

I feel a little self-conscious about being euthymic (in a generally good mood). I have had times of bleak depression, but not recently. So I know what y'all are going through, but I'm not suffering from that at this time. It's nice to feel like this.

I try to tell every one that I can't just jump into a party .... I have to ease into it..... Everyone comes over I go to my room..... Then my wife says everyone is waiting for you so I get my tabogin and pull it down over my ears so they don't get the wrong idea about me wearing earplugs to muffle the noises and I try to talk to people like their human....
I say yes sir no sir weather you deserve it or not but after every one starts with the obnoxious antics I slip away again and that's how it goes for me.
I'm here to try to find away to cope with this thing I didn't know I had .... 35 years I never knew ... Now my whole life makes sence but it doesn't make it better but I'm here to gather what I can to be a better person.... And if I can help anyone I don't want anyone to feel bad like I do.
So if you have to go party...: earplugs are awesome they really help..... I just haven't made it past that part yet .
How do you make it threw the whole party with out going nuts inside

I hate new year's eve because it always reminds me of how much of an abnormal 25-year-old I am. I see everybody on Facebook posting pictures of how fantastic their new years eve was with all their friends, posing in front of the camera with a glass of alcohol in their hand, looking as happy as can be. It makes me want to hang myself. The feeling passes after a few days, don't worry I won't hang myself.

Damn. I know how you feel, these sons of b*tches NT's love to throw it in our faces.

2015 particularly sucked for me so I am glad it's over.

Shamefully I don't keep up-to-date with current events, so you may well be correct. It is my understanding, however, that it's legal for tourists to buy cannabis in certified "Coffee Shops". Problems arise if you wish to bring it back into the country in which you reside (I do), as customs are likely to search the passengers aboard coaches and trains. I believe the safest method for smuggling drugs is to pack the product in an odourless bag, place it in an envelope addressed to your house and then send it to there from Amsterdam. It may not arrive, but I'd prefer to waste money than be caught and consequently face a fine or maybe even a prison sentence.
