Anxiety back

[fallen_leaf]

Anxiety back and haven’t been able to sleep or stay asleep. Christmas always makes it worse worrying about trying to get shopping done and make sure it’s special for the kids and all the events. And lots of self disappointment.

I can relate. When you are anxious or depressed, it’s much harder to get excited or motivated to do the things that we generally look forward to and love. Thanksgiving and Christmas have both been holidays that I’ve simply gone through the motions for this year. Almost feels like a blur. And with having kids and commitments there is even more pressure to make it special. I’ve leaned on my husband to on line shop and have scaled back on decorations and parties. I’ve allowed myself to not be perfect this year and that’s ok. My hope is that by the time Santa arrives, I’ll smile and enjoy as I always have. Cheers to 2020 being a year for health and happiness. ❤️

Stop and breathe... I understand you want to make it nice for your kids, but you are actually adding to your stress and possibly causing the anxiety. And, the gifts won't matter if mom is a mess. Relax and believe it'll be goof no matter what. Give yourself some slack. Praying for you to feel peace... HUGS.

Sorry you’re struggling.. take a moment to just gather yourself x take one thing at a time . You have to be okay yourself in order to be there for others x

Take it slow and knock some things off your ‘to do’ list I’m sure it’ll still be a lovely time 😊
