It’s only Christmas Eve and I already am stressed

NAS82328

Hi guys , 

I am feeling very stressed, upset , anxious already and it’s only Christmas Eve . The family don’t seem to be accepting . There already so much noise so much shouting and taking .  I can’t sit in my normal place in my own home. Then they all voted on the take away I don’t really eat what they all wanted and was told I had to put up with the group choice . I don’t like the food as it gives me a bad stomach . I told my mother what I would eat as a compromise very specific. The takeaway arrive they order what I asked for as part of a mixed starter … so I only got a mouthful of what I asked for . Then I only eat veg version of a dish and they ordered  it with chicken I tried picking out the veg. I got shouted at and told I can organise it next year . 
They all don’t get it and say I ruin Christmas with my grumpiness

  • It’s a bit of a busier environment here too and is taking quite a bit of adjustment from me at the moment. Nothing like the situation you have described though, so I sympathise. Like The Commander suggests, if I’ve understood correctly, stepping away to a controlled and calmer space to reset and reenergise is something that can work well. In my personal experience anyway. It’s what I’ve been doing today and will most definitely need to do tomorrow when it’s even busier and louder.
