does anyone else find the holidays to be kind of depressing?

Even though I feel so lucky to have a loving, supportive family, sometimes I find the holidays to be kind of depressing. I can't quite put my finger on why that is, but I think rather than living in the moment I'm often thinking about how in a few days from now, everyone will go back to their normal hectic lives and we won't be spending as much time with each other, maybe won't be quite as kind to each other, etc. I wish I didn't have these thoughts so I could just enjoy myself!!

normally i love the holidays but this year was a lot more stressful than expected. i hope and expect things will get better in the next few days and weeks.

I think it's fairly normal. Its a huge shock to the system to change up one's routine and I think its hard for that reason alone!

Jane S, I totally agree. This year has been extremely depressing and it has been hard to get into the holiday spirit. I was able to get handle on how I was feeling by setting a few boundaries for myself and with others. This seemed to help me out a lot and my Christmas turned out okay! I hope that everyone else's Christmas/Holidays turned out okay or continues to run smoothly.

I was just talking about this yesterday. It's like the holidays are a longer, more anxious version of feeling the Sunday Scaries.
