It is OK
to not
Feel like
Celebrating
Christmas
For your Mental Health please put yourself first this season
We are forced to put a brave face on when inside we are heartbroken
and do not want to celebrate
So do what is best for you to get through it
Very kind words , I feel there is no celebration now, life just seems hollow.
An update. It’s 2 years 3;months, early hours of Christmas Eve and I am sobbing to myself. I miss her so much. Just putting one foot in front of another is such an effort. Living on memories. Just feel so sad .
eat. eat anything you like in whatever quantities.
watch lots of t.v.
maybe have a drink. think of nothing. I believe we put great pressure on ourselves to have a fine Christmas when really, it comes every year, it is one day, and you are not obligated to it.
Hi. Thank you to those who sent kind replies. I survived Christmas by spending time with daughter, son in law. Since then, the month of January has felt long and dreary. Like many others, I still feel lost. I have found the text support service very helpful. Thanks.
