Anxiety over christmas/holiday depression

[Deleted member 541]

@Rosie11 The only thing I can say is this.... Put yourself first and monitor your moods. Self care. Being kind to yourself. Trying to stop the negative little shit that lives in our heads. Exercise, sunshine, vitamins, eating healthy, trying to get proper sleep. And therapy!!!!!

Hello
I get so anxious and feel so alone at this time of year. Christmas is bad memories, New Years is...

Awe, best wishes and prayers...

But I encourage you to do all you can now to honor that little girls survival. She made it to now and needs you to help her.

I love this so much and it is true for me as well. I cannot match the eloquence of @Rain, but know we will get through this together.

@rosie 11...I too attempted suicide...(2nd or 3rd attempt) on December 25, 1986...and the holidays could indeed be stress-filled for me too if I let 'em get that way. I have such unhappy memories of most all of my Christmas' and of the drunken family...I came out of...and as @Rain above-shared...some of us will be here...in the forum during the Christmas holidays.

And as @Rain also shared...there is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number you can call...as I've called them many times my self in my past @ (800) 273-8255.

You know...I so hope you find you another good T...I too am here for you...and rootin' for you...and pm me anytime...when you need to talk with me...or leave me a quick message in my trauma diary! I care too! Hugs!

Oh @ShikibuZ...I so loved what you said your repeating what @Rain said to @Rosie11...about her please to try and honor her little girl child within...who survived the hell of it all! I love this and no eloquence ever needed in here...love that you were accentuating @Rain's lovely stance...that we all need to try and honor that little child within each of us...who survived so many atrocities...and/or even...just one!

It is quite common at this time of year to feel alone. I remember a wise woman I once knew saying to me I can still remember her saying as if it was yesterday. She said someone in a room with all their friends can still feel lonely.....
Don’t let society make you feel inadequate celebrate your difference and independence and keep working towards developing as a individual and encouraging others who are similar to yourself. You are not alone I am hoping to gain confidence so that I can share my story with you all though I am apprehensive as I have trust issues and to make it worse I stupidly used my own name.
