Christmas

Kuukiir

I am not sure how to start this post or how to word it correctly. Apologies in advance. 

Another rough xmas this year. No one has seen each other in person for so long that innoculous text messages, social media interactions etc throughout the year appear to have festered. And I do wonder, why I am the one that is is given the mediation role? I am the go-to, go-between, to smooth things over and give umpteen explanations for others behaviours? All these things and 'needs' of others are so suble, yet this appears to be my given role...

For context, my immediate family know I am autistic and struggle socially. Yet this is an onslaught every year. I really would love to hibernate during these 'festivities'. Can anyone share similar, and their resolutions please? 

Many thanks for reading, and I do so hope you are all finding some calm and happiness this xmas x

  • Hello! No solution from me but I definitely empathise with wanting to hibernate and wake up in January…. I focus on the nice things I can do for myself when everything goes back to normal, and I try to go for a walk every day, that helps a bit but all I think is that it is not too long now … I hope you can find things that keep you going

    I really appreciate that, Yaffi. I do try to focus on the good things, and work with that side of things, just the darker side overwhelms at times.

    I like that you walk every day. I do too. But my routines have fell by the wayside this past week! This is a reminder to keep up the walking. Thank you so much for replying Hugging
