Open Thread: S.A.D. Holidays Thread

NOTE THAT THERE ARE THREE OPEN THREADS TODAY FOR DIFFERENT CONTENT.

The S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder, which I have) Holidays Thread is for people who need a safe space to talk about depression, loneliness, unhappiness, sadness, upsetedness, and other feelings as they relate to the holiday season, winter weather, dysfunctional family dynamics, etc. without having to deal with happy-happy-funtimes all over the thread when they're trying to share something that is widely shared but rarely openly acknowledged.
