Coping with stress and depression during the holidays Keep expectations for the holiday season manageable. Try to set realistic goals for yourself. Organize your time. Make a list and prioritize the important activities. Be realistic about what you can and cannot do.
Life brings changes.
Each season is different and can be enjoyed in its own way. Do something for someone else. Try volunteering some time to help others. Be aware that excessive drinking will only increase your feelings of depression. Try something new.
