New Year

Kate Kestrel

Does anyone else find New Years Day really hard? I’ve had a really nice Christmas, felt good, and then suddenly waking up this morning on New Years Day I feel absolutely terrible - I feel so hopeless about the future and so deeply depressed. I’ve never munched like New Years Eve/Day as I’m a worrier and often feel a bit doom laden about the future. But it’s hit me like a truck today. If anyone else experiences this what do you do to try to lift yourself out of it? Thanks

  • I was literally thinking about this today and said to myself that I don’t think I’ve ever had a good New Year’s Day. When I look back, it always seem to struggle a lot on New Year’s Day. I can’t think exactly the reason why, maybe it’s the anticipation of the upcoming year and the anxieties of not knowing what life will throw my way. 
    A few years ago I was detained on New Year’s Day in hospital due to my mental health, so I kind of try and feel thankful that I’m at least starting a new year, but I generally hate the pressure of it.
    The only thing I’ve actually look forward to is the new sets that Lego release which I can now buy lol

    I generally am pretty good at being mindful about gratitude - but today it’s all gone out the window. Isn’t it weird how your mental health can just nosedive - it can just come out of nowhere and just hit you. I hope you enjoy the new Lego - the things that reliably give us pleasure are worth their weight in gold :)
