Christmas Triggers

[lostandbroken]

Oh im having a nightmare of a time with my emotions and the run up to christmas.

Theres triggers all over the place, im hating every minute of it. I feel so sad and lonely 🙁

Hugs,

It can be so hard this time of year. Is there anything you can do that will give yourself a treat?
I like dancing around to the radio, I tend to listen to a completely different channel he did.
I cry at Christmas movies
I bought myself some nice food and lovely prepared it and pretended I was having abreak away from the noise of the world.
I read a lot, I found diving into a book takes away the loneliness.

Yes i love being at home 🙂 Its my new sanctuary where i can be myself and completely relax.

As soon as i finish work il head straight home. Put something fattening in the oven, and chill with my fave films. I am dodging the shops if i can help it, i have done all my xmas shopping online this year. I cant listen to music of any kind, everything is a trigger at the moment. Soppy films are a definite no too. It will get easier once xmas has moved along haha.

I’m dodging the shops this year, too.

Apart from some getting food and vouchers as gifts, I’m not spending one moment in the shops.

Make yourself ultra cosy at this time of year. Blankets, fluffy socks, interesting little nibbles…

You can do as little or as much as you want x

Yes i do alot of this, i have a very large selection of pjs and fluffy socks. Got the firestick too so i have unlimited access to all my fave films. xx

Sounds nice, I just can’t face Xmas and the whole happy fest. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better.

I had such a bad day yesterday, i really missed him. Its hard to constantly have to remind yourself the bad he did. I think that christmas is making me miss the ‘contented’ feeling. I put it in brackets because im very unsure of what it is that i am missing.

I hope your feeling better Cuppa xx

I understand this as well and cope by getting in sweet treats which I see as a reward for being a survivor .For two hours on xmas day I go to the salvation army lunch so I have some food but help with the dishes etc after.
I think of all the others alone too and this creates a sense of community although a remote one.
Watching the wildlife near my home cheers me up–there is a family of jackdaws hopping about on the roof opposite me and it reminds me I am not really alone after all-other living things are around us surviving in their own way.
Hugs to anyone who feels the same about xmas.
