Having a hard time with the holidays. Made memories around this time of year

You’re not alone. This time of year can be tough on a lot of people. It’s okay to feel this way, but it does get better.

Hey,

Holidays can be really triggering for a lot of people. Your feelings are absolutely valid. A new year is coming, holidays are about being with pople we love, there’s this kind of nostalgia in the background… It’s quite normal to feel like this and I know it can be very isolating sometimes. It also depends on what memories you associate with this time of the year. I’m also struggling with this because as I see Christmas arriving, I know it will be the first time I’ll spend this moment alone. But there is still time to think about how I could make this moment less difficult.

So I’d like to encourage you to reach out to someone you trust, just to share a bit about how you feel. It’s okay to feel down. But others might help, and you’re not alone in this. :heart:
