One thing I always find really challenging during the holidays is...[share with the community]

Its a big challenge for me to stay off Facebook during the Holidays because every time I see pictures of happy White people (Yep. I totaly went there) smiling with their happy blonde haired blue eyed kids always makes me reallly depressed. Yeah. They always look and seem "happier" than me..a sad "minority" person with alot of self hatred.

I sometimes find it challenging when there is too much down time. My mind wanders to dark places when it's not occupied. I find things to do though.

knowing that my mom is sad during this time because she isn't with family, and i can never cheer her up

It will all be okay in time is what I hear from everyone who is already okay just don

I find it hard to hang out with family

Staying joyful

Dealing with certain family members that make you look bad in person and on social media.

I try to keep my joy, my peace. This time of year can be depressing & have a lot of anxiety involved. ...but I'm keeping calm

I have a hard time talking to the people. I'm an english speaker while everyone else speaks another language. If they do speak english I end up retreating to my room and locking it. I rather watch youtube than spend time with family.

Taking advantage of free time. I would like to be decisive and content with whatever my decisions are to best use the time. I also struggle with relationships during this time because although I want people around me,I can become anxious in role with them.
