Pre-Holiday Anxiety

[Fornowjustbe]

Does anyone feel an intense sense of discomfort and anxious feelings right before the holiday begins, like when you are about to have people over or go to a relatives home. Why is it so anxiety filled? Its usually just fine and it is just family.

I know how you feel I always go to my in laws and I’m the one who is always fun but this year I’m struggling ☹️ I have so much to be grateful for and I am but my anxiety is overpowering! I really feel so down it’s horrid. I hope we are surprised when we wake tomorrow and feel great 😊

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I go through a lot of pre-visit jitters and then when I get there, it isnt a big deal and I have fun. It is weird. Its like going on a trip. When I plan for the trip and pack, I am really nervous. When I get on a plane or get to the destination, I am totally fine.

Every year I feel like that. Yesterday was hell, worse I've felt for a long time.. Today I. I'm worn out, feel like my body has been through a storm. Present situation with lockdowns, not helping. Trying to calm down. Hope you have a nice time with family, today!
