I'm sorry you're going through a rough time Mikey. It'll get better, hang in there. Life sucks sometimes, but when it gets better, you appreciate it more cuz of how much it sucked before. Sounds kinda cliche, but I've found it to be true.

I think it's perfectly normal to get the blues during the holidays, it happens to a lot of people. When you have crappy stuff happening in your life, it makes it worse. The week of Thanksgiving, I was a mess. I kept trying to focus on the positive and blah blah blah, all the stuff I tell other people to do. But I was sad as hell, I even got physically ill. When I get really stressed out, I get severe stomach problems. But this past week has been a lot better.

Try to keep busy, it helps, even if you have to force yourself to get up and do stuff. Keep talking to people. If you need to just be by yourself for a couple of days, that's fine, sometimes that helps too. But don't let it go on for more than a couple of days or you may get stuck and it's a hard hole to crawl out of.

Take care of yourself man.
