Submitted by ub on

I called a friend today and he complimented about having too manny things to do Holiday Season Triggers getting to you too?

  • Due to the obligations of the holiday season, it is normal to feel a bit stressed or even overwhelmed.
  • For some, these difficult feelings extend beyond the social festivities of the season.
  • Isolation and grief can make holidays painful for those dealing with trauma or estrangement from family.
  • Validating yourself and taking time for self-care are essential during this time.

Don’t stress yourself out and remember the season is for sharing kindness not gifts or attending Christmas 🎄 parties.

Due to the stress and obligations of the holiday season, it is normal to feel a bit stressed or even overwhelmed during this time. For many, the excitement and good feelings about this time of year evoke a feeling of happiness, which is able to overshadow many of the stressors that accompany social obligations.
