This time of year can bring added stress and anxiety for anyone. Yet, for those of us already dealing with depression, grief, trauma, or PTSD, enjoying the festivities of the holiday season can become even more challenging and difficult.
Even if one is not dealing with a particular issue, the holiday season is packed full of different situations that can bring out the worst moods in many people. There can be body image issues from all the holiday treats and foods. There can by relationship issues and family issues where there are conflict and communication break-downs.
Regardless of your own personal struggles, you are not alone. The best approach to the holiday season is to be aware and get prepared. Doing so can help you feel in control to help prevent feeling overwhelmed in any situation and unplanned events.
While you cannot prepare for every different situation, it is still a good idea to have a plan in place. You also need to remember to take care of yourself first and do what is best for you.
