A light heartened song to help clinicians and caregivers deal with the Holiday Blues - recently, I presented this to some Social Work Facilitators who help with Support Groups - to the tune of the "Selsun Blues Song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhzgU_ld_FI

Helpful Reminder for all of us during the Holidays - in being sensitive to the needs of all of us and especially the impaired: "TUNE IN / TONE DOWN"

*I've got the Holiday, I've got the Holiday Blues
I've got the Holiday, I've got the Holiday Blues
It makes me sad, but there's some things that I can do

I lost my hubbie, he even cheated on me too, I still feel so hopeless, I don't know what to do *

Nobody ever calls me, they don't invite me too, I feel so all alone, has this ever happened to you? *

Things just don't seem to matter, the way that they used to, Can I go on? I've got the Christmas blues! *

But maybe there's some options, that can help to get me through, I really won't give up, no matter what psychiatrists & social workers say and do *

Okay - I'll finally attend a support group, and yes even take psychotropics too, I'll even start to set some boundaries, and not say “Happy Holidays” to you *

I'm starting to practice the Serenity Prayer, and learning I'm not perfect for true , I'll take each moment as it comes, and humbly take each step with you *

So join me in humanity, the strengths and weaknesses too, we may be fragile and broken, but can go on by singing the Holiday Blues *
