Christmas Day shout out!

.
over 6 years ago

Well...Christmas will soon is upon us...... I have a house full of people (5/6 Christmas Eve, Christmas Day...increasing to 8/9 Boxing Day and the 27th December).

I am dreading it as it will mean several days without any personal space, or quiet time or escape from NTs doing their thing. They will enjoy their traditions and I will be ASD serving wench making sure that everyone has a good time, but inside i will be struggling to cope.

This is a shout out...as I am going to need some help to get me through without a tantrum, shutdown or meltdown.

Is there anyone else about during the Christmas break who is planning to be online ......it would help a great deal to keep me on an even keel!

thank you

    Not sure if I can, but it would be great to. There's just 3 of us which makes it more intense and busy with little escape, but if i can get some time out I will. I find it hard and often do what i am told is 'withdrawing' which I suppose is what you mean by shutdown, it can be in the room or I go to my room for a while or do all the kitchen graft.  It would be good to have a dog to escape outdoors with it.  If it's mild weather, I will find some jobs outdoors for a couple of hours.
