Why would i feel so sad during the holidays?

Some people do: It is sad if no one to spend holidays with. Sometimes holidays are associated with loss of a loved one. Holidays can be very stressful also because of the additional responsibilities, things people need to do to "celebrate.".

Gratitude: Sadness is a sign you have not accepted where you are - replace this with gratitude for being given a challenge you can work with. Sadness is victim thinking serves no purpose and drains you. Gratitude is a choice thinking - life is about choice so set goals you can work on. I do a exercise if I am sad.
