Anyone else dealing with and managing holiday related anxiety, especially with meeting up with family?

@animalsarecute45 Definitely, I am! Holidays can cause anxiety for so many reasons, having self care habits is extra important during these times ❤️

@kait thank you for sharing. Holidays can be hard, and I agree, self-care is definitely important.

Definitely. I’m struggling with anxiety over my expectations versus reality. What I wanted isn’t happening and I don’t know how to deal with it.


just going through life’s changes with people when I just want everything to stay the same. But that’s not realistic.

@thoughtfulmomma thank you for sharing that. I relate to that, especially with how reality can and often is different from our expectations. I also relate to wanting things to remain the same. Reality is very uncertain and we can face uncertainty even when we don't think or feel like we can.

@goodskies3935 I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing that. I hope your Thanksgiving at your parents went well and that you are doing better now. I can definitely relate to being in similar situations of feeling overwhelmed and emotional, especially at family events.

Yeah... It feels horrible trying to look perfect in front of them so they won't talk behind our backs.
