| Yeah, when I was in the air force, I got real sad during the holidays. It was because I didn't have anyone to celebrate it with (SO or family). I was in denial, and would tell everyone I was perfectly fine not going home for Christmas, but then when I would see everyone leaving the barracks for 2 weeks, it owuld hit. Not to mention, all the Christmas movies that give you that sappy feeling. My husband and his family celebrate Christmas in a way I never did, so now I find it better to really take in the holidays ....get into the spirit. It makes it "the happiest time of the year...."
Yesterday, I pulled out Christmas CD's. When I'm sad, I buy myself or someone something. Maybe that would make you feel better?  |
I am not a "HOLIDAY PERSON". I think I've mentined that a time or two on the forum  . As far as I am concerned they can take the period of time from the day before Thanksgiving til the 2nd of Jan, roll it in a ball and throw it out the window.
There is such pressure and expectation that everyone will have a wonderful joy filled holiday when for many people it can be a sad depressing time of year. A painful reminder of what you have lost in your life, what you never had, or wish you could have. And I am not talking about material things. Even in the happiest of families there is a pressure to meet expectations and to make sure that this holiday is the "best" holiday. I always make my gym a "Holiday Free zone", no decorations, no music not holiday glitz and glamour. It's a place my patients can escape to 3 times a week to get away from the holiday hysteria. MANY have told me they appreciate it. When I worked in the hospital I was always secretly relived when it was my Christmas to work, it was a great way to escape. Once I became a single parent I never really minded the holidays the kids spent with their Dad, that too was a relief. So I absolutely understand how you feel. All I can say is, the season DOES PASS and life does get back to "normal" (what ever that is). Take care of yourself over the next weeks, try to adjust your expectations to the reality of your situation and maybe do something different this year. |
