Daily Dose of Doll: You’re Not Alone as Holiday Blues Kick In

Dealing with holiday blues can feel overwhelming, but remember, you're not alone in this. Lots of people go through feelings of sadness, stress, and anxiety during this time. Here's a tip to keep pushing forward and stay inspired during tough periods: prioritize self-care and nurture your connections.

Taking care of yourself is crucial, especially when stress levels skyrocket during the holidays. Make sure you're eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying active. And don't forget to do things you love and find relaxing, whether it's reading a good book or going for a nice long walk. Find what works for you and make it a part of your daily routine.

Having a support system is also important during this time. Reach out to loved ones, join support groups, or get involved in community service. Connecting with others can help combat feelings of loneliness and give you a sense of belonging. And if you're finding it tough to cope, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Therapists and counselors are skilled at providing strategies to manage depression. Remember, it's fine to ask for help when you need it.

While the holiday season can be challenging for those dealing with depression, just take it one step at a time. Each small step you take toward self-care and seeking support brings you closer to overcoming this challenge. You've got this!

Every child is a miracle, precious in his or her own way. That is why Danny Thomas founded St. Jude Children’s Hospital. He was determined to change the fate of children diagnosed with cancer and other diseases.  Living with cancer or other deadly diseases is frightening no matter who you are, but it is especially scary for a child. That is why the Big 95.7 KML is supporting St. Jude Children’s Hospital “Child Life Program”. This program helps children express their feelings through play, writing and art. We are currently featuring an inspiring collection of unforgettable poems and artwork entitled “ABC’s of Cancer”. Crafted by the young heroes who are patients at St. Jude Children’s Hospital, the “ABC’s of Cancer” takes you on the emotional journey on which these children and their families have embarked, a journey that will make you smile, cry, and we hope embrace the lifesaving mission with renewed passion.
