I've been feeling very anxious and depressed lately. The expectations around the holidays make me just want to isolate. I've been pushing myself to be around others. Hoping this passes soon.

I totally get wanting to isolate. Not having the energy to be social. Sometimes it helps me just to go to places where people are, the store, mall, events where I don't know anyone just so I don't feel so alone but where I don't really have to interact with anyone. Hope you can be gentle with yourself and get through this time soon.

Hello. My favorite motto is "this too shall pass". The holidays can be a hard time. Try to find your own meaning in the holidays and concentrate on that. I have crowd anxiety and it is hard for me to be around crowds (it started with Covid). I plan on limiting my contact with large groups to reduce my anxiety.
