Anxiety & the Holiday Season
Hello! As we all know, it is the holiday season. The holidays can have a negative impact on our anxiety. How are you feeling during this year's holiday season? What are some ways that are helpful for you to cope with anxiety?
Hi all. My anxiety is sky high with the holidays. I have two kids who I’d like to keep healthy over the holiday break. I want to enjoy the holiday instead of simply coasting through it. Covid has thrown a major wrench in my anxiety. I’m frustrated with family that no longer takes any precautions. My son is home sneezing, sniffling, and coughing at the moment (Covid negative) but I’m in panic mode. There’s sooo much going around. And I’m feeling pressured to gather after years of not gathering. Sigh. 😞

The holidays can feel very overwhelming. Society puts lots of pressure on us to have the "Hallmark" Christmas, especially when you have children. And then there is covid, which adds another whole dimension of nervousness. Your feelings and concerns are valid.
