Will my dog get depressed while I'm on vacation?
My family and I are going on vacation for 3 days. This is the first time we will be away from our 6 mo. old puppy. I am going to miss him dearly. He is going to stay with my daughter's friends' family while we are away. I didn't want to take him to a kennel for 3 days. Will my dog get depressed? Any tips on anything I can do? Do your pets miss you when you go on vacation and can't take 'em with you? I wish I could take our puppy but we're going to be in amusement parks, etc... I am looking forward to vacation, but I am not looking forward to leaving my puppy. I get so sad just thinking of leaving him. Do you get sad when you have to leave your pet for vacation, business trip or any other reason?

What is it like to go on vacation when you are depressed?
Thanks for the A2A!How depression affects your vacation really depends on both the vacation and the depression. On some vacations, you won’t notice it. On others, you’ll be so miserable there’s no point in going.Think of the vacation like a movie, and depression like the brightness controls on whatever device you’re using to watch it. If the brightness is at 100%, you can see everything normally—the equivalent of not feeling depressed at all. If the brightness is at 0%, you can’t see anything—the depression is completely overwhelming.If your depression is mild and the vacation is fun, it’s like watching Spongebob Squarepants at 80% brightness; you might not notice the “darkening” at all. If the vacation is “okay but not great” and the depression is moderate, it’s more like Suicide Squad at 40% brightness; you’ll still see Harley Quinn’s pink and blue pigtails through the gloom every so often, but there are other parts you won’t be able to make out at all. If your depression is bad enough that the brightness is effectively zero, it won’t really matter what’s on the screen.
Will a vacation help my depression?
No, Vacation is one way of refreshing oneself but the best cure is a blend of exercise/yoga along with spiritual reading. First you need to understand that you don't want to remain feeling low always and in order to come out from your own created mental shell, you need to exercise. Whatever that motivates you, pick that and start. If need help , contact me.
Depressed about the end of Summer Vacation, can someone help me?
Ok so ever since I've been going to school I've always gotten depressed at the end of summer vacation. When I was little I use to get very depressed and worry over the littlest of things about the new school year. When I got older I didn't get as badly depressed but I would just feel a little bummed out about going back to school. In 3 days I will be entering the 12 grade and with my vacation coming to and end I am feeling that end of summer depression again. Lately I've been going between being optimistic about the new school and being absolutely depressed. An example is last night I had been feel optimistic and then about an hour later I was depressed. When I woke up this morning I felt fine but I decided to ask my question on yahoo answers to find out why I get so depressed about the end of vacation, and if there was anyone else who gets depressed at the end of their vacation, and how I can cope with it. While I feel fine right now I know that I'll probably get depressed again on the last day of vacation, or that night when I'm trying to sleep. Hopefully these answers will provide me some peace of mind before I go back to school.
What should I do to prevent my depression from ruining my vacation overseas?
This will probably sound ridiculous, but I suggest that you try not shaming yourself for however you use your vacation time. If you cry in your hotel room, fine. If you go out and do what you want to do, fine. Trust that you are using your time to do whatever you need to do now. Do not judge yourself for not meeting your own expectations.If you can accept yourself however you are, then you can do no wrong. Whatever you do, it will be a valuable experience. It’s counterintuitive, but once you let yourself off the hook of your own expectations, whatever you do will be fine, and then you won’t be frozen with worry that you are wasting your time. You won’t ruin your vacation, because you have let go of your expectations about how your vacation is supposed to go.I know. It sounds crazy. But depression lives off the pressure we put on ourselves. No pressure? Depression has a hard time finding things to live off of.
What do you do if depression hits on vacation? How do you still enjoy yourself and not bring those around you down?
@Rick Porter, thanks for the A2A.To answer the question:Ooh boy. That sucks. I know what it’s like though. I’ve been there. The only time I was actually suicidal when my depressions still went undiagnosed was during a school trip to Rome, actually.How do you still enjoy yourself? Well. You don’t. One of the first things depression takes from you is the ability to experience pleasure. Fail to acknowledge this and your depression is only going to get worse. Having fun is not something you can or should force yourself to do.So, how do you cope with a very inconvenient time not to be able to enjoy yourself? You treat yourself as if you’re physically ill: you nurse yourself, or surround yourself with people to take care of you. Whichever you prefer. I’d suggest withdrawing to a quiet place and try to find some way to pass time without getting too bored and wait for it to pass. If that’s not enough, you’re dealing with a rather more severe depression and you have to get professional help as soon as you can. Kind of like if you have a fever, staying in bed is ok, but if it lasts and only gets worse, you need to get to a hospital ASAP.You want to try not to bring those around you down? Try to prioritise yourself at this moment. You are your main concern right now (and, actually, should nearly always be, but that’s a different matter). You could, however, attempt to shield them from the worst parts of the depression. What also helps is to show them clearly that you don’t blame them for having fun while you don’t. Allow them to come to your aid if they want to, but to step away and enjoy themselves if they don’t.
I'm sad that my vacation was cancelled?
My mom told me about a month ago that we were going to go with my aunt, grandma, and cousin to California. We were just going to go to the beach and Universal Studios for the weekend. Well, today my mom told me we weren't going. My aunt said it would be hard to take a day off work.. I pretended I was fine, but I was really looking forward to going, and it makes me sad. I know I'm being selfish and a spoiled brat, I'm not usually like that. The reason it makes me sad, is because I love California and vacations and that was what I was looking forward to all summer. But also, because summer is almost over, and I think that would be the last time I get to be with my aunt, grandma, and cousin before school. We don't see each other a lot during the school year, which is why I cherish the time I have with them during the summer since I see them almost every day. How do I just get over being sad? Thank you!
