NOT Depressed, but everyone else?!
16/F
I think I asked a question on here a while back about my sister being diagnosed with severe depressive disorder. Well, they put her on Prozac and she seems okay, but she cries randomly, which is odd since she hardly ever cries.
Anyway, for some reason, it seems like everyone around me is getting depressed now that my mood is getting back up! Even my parents are getting depressed, friends at school. It's so hard to enjoy life when they don't want to :( I try to help them and give them advice and joke around, tell them it's not so bad. I try to cheer them up, even being goofier than usual, but it's like they keep coming up with excuses and reasons why everything I say is a lie. I know what that's like, sure, I went through a really bad time during middle school, but now I'm pretty optimistic, a glass-full kind of kid, but how can I help everyone around me enjoy life more? I don't like being the only one who's happy. Basically, I'm asking what can I do to get people's moods up too, if there's anything I can do that is because I know I'm not a doctor and I can't just snap my fingers and go fwah, you're better... So yea, any help?

Try to keep in mind that you can't make people happy, nor is it your job to do so. This time of year can be difficult for many people. The pressure and stress of buying gifts with little or no money all while expecting to keep smiles on our faces can throw many of us into sadness and even depression. In addition, the limited sunshine in most parts of the country has been proven scientifically to affect our moods. I say just keep being your upbeat, happy self. If we were all the same, the world would be a very boring place and we need positive people like you to even things out. By the time January rolls around your friends and family might just be their old selves again. Hope this helps somewhat.

It's that time of season, It's that time of year
The holidays are right around the corner, It's common for people to be a bit overwhelmed this time of year, Christmas can be stressful. Also, No doubt the cold air helps either, The sun is out less and it gets dark earlier. What can you do? Just try and help around the house, Little things always help. Pick up a few things, Load the dish washer, Help Mom with the laundry anything really is a big help. Once the holidays come around things should start to lighten up some. Your sister, Depression is very hard on some people and depressed people are often very down and hard on themselves. Let her know that your there for her if she needs too talk and if she randomly starts to cry...Why not just give her a hug. Depressed people sometimes need assurance that there is someone there that loves them.
