I have to admit it's not my fav time of year. I liked it when I was really little because of Santa and presents but now I'm an adult it just makes me anxious. Everything about it causes me anxiety and discomfort. The shops and town become super busy and loud, bright lights are flashing everywhere, it's colder usually, everything gets expensive and family always mix and party which I find very hard to cope with. I just want to hide away for the whole month and come back in January. I know it's not Christmas yet but it's closing in fast and I'm already anxious and dreading it.
I work in a supermarket, where Christmas starts in the middle orf September, and ends in January. I put first products on display on Tuesday 6th September
For me it's the worst time of year at work, because it's expected to make double cheerful face, and to lie about having amazing Christmas (I can't do that), while my last 3 Christmas I spent alone in bed, battling the thoughts to end it all
Outside there is a lot of extra fake blinking lights that hurts my eyes at night, and makes me nauseated if it's blinking red
At work you're a forced to work extra hours, and last week before Christmas without day off, and if manager isn't thinking about employees and you start before store opens and finish after it closes you won't be able to do any shiopping and you'll starve during christmas, as I did last 2christmas,
If you have no children you should be allowed to wear a badge ''Christmas exempt''
I couldn't cope with that. You should get a medal for making it through Christmas!
I saw in the shop yesterday there's already advent calendars for sale. Crazy it's not even December yet lol.
