Getting through holiday flares & depression
While I adore this time of year (Autumn being my favorite season!), I always end up flaring which then pushes me into a holiday depression, so I'd love to hear what others do to get through it and how you make the holiday season more comforting & relaxing!
It is my favorite season, but my least favorite! I feel you. So much going on and such a busy time that I feel like I end up just needing to rest and have the same depression after. Its like people want to get together just during that time. Last year I made the effort that I didn't need to do all the things. I asked my family to help me. And I cut back on shopping, let someone else do it. I have a great support system but still sometimes it depends on me and my body and really setting boundaries because they don't understand why I can't just "get together." And I try to rest as much during Thanksgiving and New Years as possible. Enjoy the quiet time. Those are things I do!
Absolutely,
! I feel so overwhelmed sometimes by everything that needs to be done for the holidays and then having to always gather with people. I love gathering with my family and friends but sometimes it's just too much for my body to handle. I'm definitely looking forward to a relaxed New Years. I hope you're new years day/eve is just as relaxing as mine! Wishing you the best - Abigail, Team Member
Rest
rest is the best thing anyone of us can do during the holiday season. Hopefully you are getting some good rest as well. Vickie, Team Member Thank you.
