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

  • Hi, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this... it is very inconsiderate of the other people to act in this way. If you have to have a group takeout again, maybe you could just order takeaway from a different place for yourself whilst the group orders what they want? That way you can eat what you feel comfortable with and so could everyone else? Also I find people often understand better if you give digestive issues as the main reason for not being able to have a certain food or needing to order own/bring own food- I think maybe they can relate to that a bit more... no idea. I hope the rest of the evening is going a bit better!!
