Anyone else dreading it? Traffic gets too busy for me, buses are late, cues too long, lots of organosing to do, kids party's, Xmas crafts, blah blah.....
We do a super super small Xmas as the kids don't with much but still I dread the run up. Kids are more aware this year also & so want to do things like go to their friends parties even though they can't cope with the over stimulation. & I want to fit in seeing close friends but have to jungle everyone's schedules to find a time we are all free. Not looking forward to it all!

Oh, that C. I'm lucky, I can pretty much ignore it. I don't do cards for anything anymore, kids are all grown up but don't have kids of their own yet, no extended family on either side in this country, so there's just 5 of us. We usually fling a few deccies around, and we do stock up on all the traditional yummies (needlessly as everyone is so stuffed from xmas lunch!) No-one is terribly bothered about pressies, if it's not something that's actually wanted, what's the point? And actually if it is wanted why wait for Christmas? My brother might make a fuss at the lack of fuss, but he's in Oz.

I never used to dread C, but as I have got older and depression has got worse
I really cannot be bothered. Every year I say the same thing, "I will start getting
presents early this year!" Never happens. I do "plan" on just getting the presents
sorted tomorrow but there is a sleep between now and then so not sure if it will happen.
I don't have children so I don't have all that mither. I can barely handle going shopping
at other times of the year, at C-mas, it is unbearable. But having said all of that, I still like
C-mas, in that I get to see my family. And tinsel seems to lift my spirits for some reason.

It doesn't exist until after my birthday! Which gives me a week. .
I dread it! I hate having the family together if it includes my sister and her child!
They don't even disguise their mocking and sniggering and superiority. .
I can't remember the last Xmas we spent together when they didn't deliberately make
me cry . . I'm glad I don't have a big family and I live on my own and have no kids or pets.
I'm going to be spending my 50th birthday alone. . .this is when I'd really appreciate some
friends who live somewhere nearby. . .this is what I hate most about ADHD. .loneliness,
bullying, not knowing how to fit in . .

I am the same regards 'C'... I just can't get it together. My sister came over to help me decorate the sitting room because I'm depressed about it all. I bought some cards yesterday and I will be shopping this week - though shopping is like torture.

Haha vague that's the exact line I use when people bring it up- that it doesn't exist until after my bday, although that gives me a bit more than a week.
Turns out thus was out best year, kids coped better than before, and while I feel like hell I am getting to lounge about on pj's most of the time. While it feels crappy now I know the down time will help me cope when rl hits again. Can't believe how chubby I got on Xmas chocs!
& a belated happy bday.
