This is me being my authentic self...I have pretty much lost my Mojo. I have no interest in Christmas, or making Christmas cards. It stresses me a lot. I have sent 3 cards. I have had a huge amount of stress, not only about Christmas and making cards, but also from someone who is experiencing mental health issues. They have dumped it all on me about two weeks ago. It was heavy stuff and I struggled to deal with it. The stress eventually put me in hospital. I don't want to know about their issues anymore and have done my best to back away. I will let the person know I support them, but I won't listen to their issues for longer than five minutes. (We keep in touch via the telephone.) I have my own health issues I need to focus on. I hope I have made enough Christmas cards, because I'm not making anymore this year. I just find Christmas so stressful this year. I love Christmas but this year I'm struggling. A lot. If I don't send someone a card, am I being selfish?? And NOT sending someone card also gives me stress. What to do?? Does anyone else struggle with Christmas like this? I'd love to know! No cards to share today. Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
Hugs!❤️❤️ In terms of sending/not sending cards, I’d say do whichever will cause you less stress. Maybe wait and send your cards for the new year. Or it’s ok to skip it too! -Andrea
ReplyDeleteI truly sympathize with your struggle at this time of year. Christmas is stressful to begin with, you don't need the addition of more from someone else. Take care of yourself and do what you can when you can.
