Re: Topic Tuesday // Is it okay to ignore Christmas? // 13 Dec. 7pm AEDT
Hi again everyone -
Sorry for delayed reply - finally have energy to reply...
Thank you for telling me I matter & the cyber hugs - @Appleblossom, @Shaz51, @suzanne, @Former-Member, @SwearyCyn, @greenspace, @BlueBay Cyber hugs & strength to all of you....
My psychiatrist did not offer hospital - I did not tell her exactly how bad I was feeling in the email - the emails go through admin & I think the receptionists read them, so I rarely communicate with her via email.... I needed a script & I wanted to explain why I canceled my Monday appointment (as the receptionist asked when I rang to cancel on Friday & I said I would ring her pager - I did, but missed her call & I don't like talking on the phone these days anyhow) It is best that I don't go to hospital, as my psychiatrist would probably want to increase my medication "just for a few months" & I would feel like I was going backwards on my arduous journey.... Thank you @BlueBay for the humor about sneaking me into hospital, but I rather join you on the beach!
Thank you for your very kind thoughtful description of me @Appleblossom
@Former-Member your situation sounds very hard - I hope you get through it okay... Sending lots of strength
I was going to do xmas cards, but just like the whole idea of it being okay to "ignore" it...
I'll get back to you re your email @suzanne
Thank you all - best wishes for getting through it in a way that makes sense for you... I agree with - may it be not as bad as you feared!
Ahimsa - Namaste,
Anna

Re: Topic Tuesday // Is it okay to ignore Christmas? // 13 Dec. 7pm AEDT
Sorry I missed Tuesday night. I've read through your wonderful posts. Yes the beach, wine under a tree, a good book and the movie marathon all great ideas as is ignoring Christmas all together. I feel awkward for nearly all of December as I don't really enjoy Christmas either. I feel some grief - that's natural. I get cross with relatives, but bottle it up and try to be nice then get all conflicted! Most Christmas days I work my job which is great. I'm single no kids. MI many years ago which the relatives havent forgotten so I'm a bit of a black sheep. Xmas Day coping - I tried going for a bush walk one year but then got the guilts about going alone - what if I tripped or something or the car broke down - consequences etc. I'm stressing because someone I know is putting a lot of pressure on me to go to her family on xmas day and I simply don't want to go. When it boils down to it, I'd rather see my own family - tensions, warts and all. Worrying too much about it all.

Thanks for your reply @TAB, so right. It's only another day. I will probably do what I normally do after work and not stress too much about it.
