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

  • Yes. Now that I've read some more comments I feel seen, as you might too. I've always wondered why this happens.

    I personally find the night before exciting and I'm grateful to celebrate it with the people I love, but as far as I wake up all the good expectations and reasons that are supposed to uplift me just disappear. Yesterday, as the ritual I have, I wrote my last 2024 thoughts, felt great. Today I woke up and felt numb, read, cried, stayed in bed... 

    I think uncertainty just hits and gets us overthinking, in my case with ocd too is just unbereable, but as far as these few weeks are gone, everything will be better.
