Stressing Around The Christmas Tree

[BrownEyesBlue]

I am beyond stressed at this point. I only want to sleep and shut my brain off. I have Christmas things left to do. Gifts to buy. And no money. My boyfriend is currently unemployed and money is tight. I’m constantly in survival mode. I have 2 days I need to get through with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I just wish I’d die. Im shutting down physically and emotionally. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Hey 👋🏽

Oh gosh that’s a lot of things to think about. Take a deep breath ! I understand how much pressure you’re under at the moment but is there any way for you to remove the pressure? 😔

Won’t everyone understand that money is tight this year? It’s not all about the gifts is it .

I’ve also seen people bake goodies at home and give them as gifts instead when they’re running low .

There’s always ways and if not then just completely let go of the pressure to give gifts and just give yourself and your love x 💕

Hello please just so you know that you are not obligated to buy gifts especially when you don't have the money. What's important right now is for you to get better and get your head together. I think having food on the table is more important than gifts. Don't stress yourself out, it's not worth it, be good to yourself and try to calm yourself which is hard enough! I know it's though.

May God bless you and keep you strong. 💛

I know. It isn’t about the gifts at all. It’s just a really bad time financially.

Hi,

I have a Christmas tree, a few decoration and Christmas light, it is standing in the corner, I hardly have much gifts, I hardly give gifts, you are not oblidged to give gifts if you are on a tight budget, and you don't need to, a Christmas card with a nice message is enough.

Don't stress too much about it, in the end, Christmas is only once a year, society seems to make a big fuss about it, there's no need to.

Just relax and look after yourself first.
