Holidays Support Thread - You're Not Alone
Hi, everyone!
The holiday season is often associated with joy and cheer, but for many people, it can be a difficult and lonely time. For those who have lost loved ones, the holidays can be a reminder of their absence. For those who are struggling financially, the holidays can be a source of stress and anxiety. For those who are facing health issues, the holidays can be a reminder of their physical and mental struggles.
No matter what the situation, the holidays can be a difficult time for many people. The pressure to be happy and festive can be overwhelming and can lead to feelings of guilt and sadness. Even if you’re surrounded by family and friends, it can still be hard to find joy in the season. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to not be merry and bright during the holidays.
If there is anything on your mind please do not hesitate to reach out to us here or in any way you may feel comfortable during the holidays.
:/ I'm never going to be happy with myself. I wonder why. What if I could just be unhappy.
I dont say the wrong things in groups. I don't say things that are intentionally harmful. But I do fake being ugh, this is annoying "happy". I don't trust anything to drop it.
I'm more used to telling my family it. So, I hmm as close as people get, my parents and my sister I'll either tell or just avoid talking altogether. I am just eyes alert. I learned to shut up because all I do was whine and so I hear from mom I'm moody. I hate that ***. So I just shut up amd become avoidant. Should I just fake and go to sleep instead of staring out? Idfk.

Tomr, I have 2 jobs. Morning and night. I'm driving using gmaps cuz I'm useless at directions.
I have lunch with bf. I might be tired. I think him too - he's had a fun fam vacation and work. So I suspect he needs some rest time.
That's it.
It's going to be OK
There is some routine. Like safe right?
(Pls don't answer. It's a rhetoric)
@CheeryMango Sometimes I just feel so "alone", especially during the holidays. The most wonderful time of the year? Not for all.
