Christmas

[Misfit23]

I just wanted to remind everyone that if Christmas gives you more anxiety than joy, you're not alone. It's more normal than you think to be a little depressed this time of year. And if you need any advice or just to vent, you're in the right place. You are not alone! Much love and good thoughts!

the anxiety starts way before Christmas the joy lasts a few days.

Thanks for acknowledging that, I've been finding it rough this Christmas and last Christmas as well. It's good to know I'm not the only one x

Thankfully I've only had moments. But when I do feel down, I feel guilty for being down because of how lucky I am. I just wanted to let y'all know it happens and you're not alone. ❤️

I think that's the problem, society's expectations. We can't help how we feel x
