    How is everyone feeling??

    I am still nowhere near to having my Christmas dinner.  Just watching one of those cheesey Christmas films.

    I've been watching movies and eating takeaways all day lol

    I actually enjoyed this Christmas alone. No alcohol,  no arguments and no Christmas music. 

    @Autism_at_40 try get some sleep if you can. It's just another day in paradise 🫡

    Yeah, I stressed myself out a bit I think, doing the whole turkey with all the trimmings.  I didn't get up until 3pm and I didnt get my tea until nearly 8.30pm, so I feel like I've barely even been awake today...

    I think I will wait a couple more hours and then go to bed.  I've been alone for Christmas most years in the last 10 years, but this year, just seems harder somehow.  i think because there was someone in my life, but he couldn't even be bothered to say Merry Christmas.. so whatever..

    I'm sorry to hear that @Agnia, I hope you're feeling better today?

    I was struggling yesterday, but today I have woken up and it feels like a whole weight has been lifted!!
    I suppose there is a lot of pressure on Christmas day..

    I realised that there are people out there far worse off than me and it inspired me to do as much as I can to help others.

    @Agnia Oh I'm sorry you feel worse today.
    Are there any things that you can do that take your mind off everything, even if it's just for a while?

    I think you have to take care of yourself first, before you can start to help others.  Sometimes you can do little things, like smiling at a stranger or something and it will make their day.

    We're here if you want to talk some more to help you get through the rest of the day.
