It&#8217;ll be new to most people, but the first people to hear it were Joe, Jenny and Seth.</p>

Quite the opposite. This time last year, I was spending Thanksgiving with my family, shortly after being outed to them by my ex. Then I joined friends of mine with another family where I wasn&#8217;t worrying about feeling judged or rejected by anyone. And Seth was there (which is why I was there). That was probably one of the last happy times I can remember.</p>
<p>I realized today that I&#8217;ve been depressed ever since the night of my birthday. There have been happier times and moments when I&#8217;ve been able to escape into a happier persona, but every day since then has been tempered by some sort of sadness. And today, when most of America is gathered with their families, making happy memories together, I&#8217;m home, by myself, not really wanting to be around anyone. And I&#8217;m not anticipating it getting any better for Christmas either.</p>
<p>Happy holidays.</p>
