Re: Topic Tuesday // Is it okay to ignore Christmas? // 19 Dec, 7pm AEDT
It's certainly the silly season - emotional rollercoaster of joy, stress, laughter and triggers. And you experience that amplified by the sounds of things.
Are you able to use strategies that have helped in the past when you have hit a low? While there might be the added stress of 'getting involved' with Christmas, your well being is the most important.

Re: Topic Tuesday // Is it okay to ignore Christmas? // 19 Dec, 7pm AEDT
I thought if I have to put up with Xmas I can at least do some things I enjoy. And I loved the baking. I did it with a friend and made biscuits I knew from my childhood and then it was fun to give them to people. I also spend time and money to donate to various charities as I thought that’s more Xmas spirit than buying expensive presents and useless Xmas cards for everyone.

I hope anyone who feels stressed out by their own or other people's expectations can push those expectations away a bit and acknowledge that you're doing great, however things turn out.
I hope people who are estranged from family can protect themselves from the hurt of being rejected or that sadness of having to cut family off for the sake of staying well.
Good luck to you all!
