For those struggling with holidays

[Desert Flower]

I'm glad you're all here too. In the midst of the struggles.

I am also bumping this thread for anybody having trouble round Christmas/ New Year's.

I think I'm being a lousy friend irl atm so it's no wonder no one is reaching out.

Great idea to bump this thread BB! But I had a weird disorientation when I read my own post you quoted. I suddenly didn't know what year it was. A kinda time-warp.

I've discussed with a few other people setting up a Holiday open zoom meeting. I love the idea, but am actually kinda scared to take on the project. I just don't trust myself one week to the next. And the idea in itself is complicated...

Sorry for the disorientation Chart!

It is an unfortunate part of having CPTSD that so many of us feel sad and lonely at this time of year. I hope being a part of this community helps even a little. You are not completely alone as you now have a tribe here who gets it, understands and cares.

Christmas is celebrated here on Christmas Eve and although I did have somewhere to go for which I was registered and everything, I did not in the end go. Haven't decorated or even cleaned and tidied tbh. Or showered and washed hair, which is the big impediment to going anywhere. Tho I told a few people I'd go to the church service where my old choir is singing  - Xmas Day evening so it would be good if I did that at least.
