Anyone ellse feel the burnout during the Christmas period?

Noticed I strugel with socilising more than once a week if I'm in a situation where I'm having to socilise more than once it just physically and mentally shatteres me. Come Christmas we have Christmas Eve where we socilise Christmas day then boxing day then shoot day and there's even a party after that usually. I have to sit certain events out as I personally find the socilising to much and need to retreat to my own space or literally nap it off anyone ellse the same on this?

  • I feel really guilty though as it's just my immediate family and my mother in law. They're all lovely but the combined noise and randomness and shouts and relentless bids for attention attention desire to play from my son means I have only so much time I can handle it before I crack and need a break. It's so hard getting a nice balance between being polite, showing how much I do truly love and appreciate them, but also protecting myself. I keep telling myself it is just a week and then things will be back to normal.

  • You've definitely got more sensory issues than I have mine are mostly smells tempos textures in food

  • Ahh the joys of having got into a fight years ago in my school nativity... smacking my head on a coat peg... and not being able to smell...
