I got through cooking with my mother. Tomorrow should be fun, actually. I'm cooking a roast for my boyfriend and we're just having a quiet romantic night.
Thank god I'm avoiding the extended family this year!!

Re: Getting through christmas/new year
That sounds nice 
I'm really missing my girl. We've been having some very hard stuff the last few days and could really do with seeing each other.
Sadly, family commitments ...

Re: Getting through christmas/new year
Alcohol is a big trigger for me around New Year's. Everyone is my family is 21+ and I'm still 18 going on 19. Plus, my parents would murder me if they found out I drank. (Alcohol and I don't get along well and have a bit of a history...)

Re: Getting through christmas/new year
This entire season is just so triggery to me. I feel so alone...
It seems that ever since I registered for bus, I have been online during the holidays. But at least the forums are here.

Re: Getting through christmas/new year
I remember spending all my holidays online. It felt kind of pathetic at the time, but it got me through. I think it's hard to like Christmas when you're forced to do family stuff you don't want to do. I like it a lot better now that I can plan who to be with and what to do for myself.

Re: Getting through christmas/new year
I knew I'd seen a thread like this somewhere....
I always find this time of year really hard. I can't really identify a reason, it's just... Hard.
I've typed many things right here on this post, and deleted them... I don't know. I just always feel so lonely no matter where I am or how many people are around me. I have attachment issues anyway and thinking about the people involved, and them spending time with loved ones somehow leaves me empty (Pathetic huh?
) It's funny how you can romanticize other peoples lifes and relationships!
I don't enjoy spening time with my family, I just feel imense pressure to be happy and smiley and that has got harder and harder for me lately. To the extent that I don't like the person I am when I'm around them at all anymore. Snappy and sullen, despite any efforts from them.
I find it really tough to not just completely isolate myself. Even though thats what I want to do, I know that in the long run it will only make me feel worse!
