Thanks for posting about this. At this time of year this is a very real problem for a surprisingly large number of people.

I don't mean to be flippant or condescending, but one thing that always helped me was playing with a puppy. There is just something magical about it that drives away the darkness.

Now, if i feel that it is all just too much, and i don't want to be here any more, I think back on those times i played with puppies, and it brings me a smile, and sometimes a giggle.

And that's the start of the road back.
