@Softwhispers Hello how are you feeling after surgery?

The holidays can be a difficult time for me, due to a number of factors. The season doesn't hold a lot of happy memories, but am doing my best to make some new ones with my daughter. Having a child definitely lets one at least feel some vicarious Christmas spirit. She's right at that age (3) where she can begin to fully appreciate the special time of year and is very excited.

I think my mother bought her an advent calendar, but I haven't confirmed -- will check during the next time I visit with my little one.

Had a rather difficult night with the sort of nightmares that I dread the most, to say the least. Trying to stay grounded and present today. Tis the season... ⛺❤️

@Softwhispers

It can definitely be a bit much, because we only have one month in the year where we aren't celebrating birthdays (plural...every other month there are multiple birthdays being celebrated), and we only have that one month off because the two people with birthdays that month live too far away! Between birthdays and other holidays with presents, we're a little bit much lol. But I told everyone that their souvenirs from our trip this past summer are their next birthday gifts, so I've saved myself a little bit by doing that lol

Hey whispers! Hi Trauma community!

Hope that you feel better and that the weird feelings from the surgery are normal, so that you can heal and be ok.

This Christmas season my extended family will have our annual Posada party and I had the idea of a gift echange. for the actual day, I haven't come up with the plans, I guess it depends on what my mom wants to do. I do have a lot of presents to get, but my health hasn't made it possible to even think of that.

I don't really care for the holidays as of right now. I have been remembering a very painful Christmas back in the year 2000 When we spent Christmas day putting flowers and a wreath on my Grandmothers grave. She passed away in the summer of 1999 When I was in my teens. Boxing Day will mark a year of soberiety for me, and I still feel nervous and scared. But despite this sensitive time,I try my best to cope and find positive supports, like 7cups, my counselor, going to meetings, and self care. Thank you for the Check in. Take care Trauma community.

are you all excited for christmas? Yes and no. I'm with a guy, who I like and I want him to be happy. However I see us just as friends and we both fight with depression.

any special plans you have for christmas? I hope to be with my guy.

I am so glad that my church celebrates advent. I am going to make it a point to pass a blessing to at least one person every day in December.
