Sigh of relief (For another year)

Well Christmas is finally over, I know there are those that enjoy this period and that’s perfectly fine but for me as usual there was a slow creep of dread thinking about the fact that I will have to spend long amounts of time around others and be expected to be merry and cheerful. My clothes smelt like kitchen, my nerves shot from the barking dog, relaxation goes out the window when you have to pick up every little crumb the kids drop incase the mother in law has a panic attack about it. Social hangovers are real, I slept 14 hours or thereabouts last night! I never do that, I must have needed it. Hope everyone is doing well!

  • i cant relax until the 2nd jan, just need everything to be the same and when its not i cant manage, my anxiety is through the roof at the mo.  had to avoid strangers wishing me a happy christmas when ive been outside because i have mutism and cant respond to them, next it will be the have a happy new year bit.  im literally staying inside to try to avoid it all

  • Sorry to hear/read you are struggling so much. This time of the year means the usual routines go right out the window which for those who thrive on it means a real tough and emotional rollercoaster of a time. It shall pass however bad it seems right now.
