Holidays

Is anyone else dreading Christmas this year?

I've got anxiety and my family Christmas are always big. Out last big Christmas was in 2019. I remember being in between 5 different houses and going back home to Ukraine. That was normal.

But since then covid has happened, my family members have died and my mental health has gotten worse. And of course the war in Ukraine.

It is uncertain where we will spend Christmas this year. My boyfriend's grandparents may be moving so this is all up in the air. Also my mother (who I don't get on with) wants me round and it is all too much.

2020 we spent Christmas isolated due to covid lock down. 2021 I got covid. I've not been in a large group with family for years.

I'm not looking forward to all the noise and oh my gosh the food! They overcook (yes even in a recession) they will still do loads of food and my mind is going crazy 😔

My family are not supportive. They will all expect me to be there and travel without a car to different houses. I hate it so much. It is depressing and expensive. Does anyone else feel like this?
