    @Jane315STARX I can relate to this massively. From my own past experience, this time of year can be absolutely crippling. I used to describe it to others as only being able to deal with the core basics of self care which was often just being in bed. It's difficult to describe but it's almost like an exhaustion and you just physically cannot do anything else.

    But, after that period I came out of it much brighter and I hope your son does too. I can't imagine how worrying it is for you as a mother but please try to be kind to yourself. 💛

    morning all. i am a bit depressed.. i do not like christmas. i am glad even if it is a bit selfish i do not have to give presents away to anyone as i would really feel very anxious etc. i enjoy my own company but it is very depressing. if i am not busy doing something it is when i start thinking way too much about stuff i should not but i just can not help it. another year passed but i feel rather scared about the following year on what it will happen. the system is becoming very hostile against sick people. anyway….

    You're not alone in feeling alone and struggling at this time @Schildpad, I promise. 💛 I hope you're able to find a distraction. I've been watching The Office (US) to keep me occupied. It's light and silly. Has been really helpful the past 48 hours or so as has being on the community. 🙂

    Do you have access to the likes of BBC iPlayer, ITV etc. They're free but there's much more choice than what's on the tele. Netflix is brilliant though, lots of variety.

    i might try on line stuff .. yeah… but i have been thinking about netflix for a while. maybe next year.. i mean it is around the corner so i should be thinking about it.

    i also like films from other countries other languages etc… anyway.

    now trying to keep warm. it is kinda cold but no snow.

    i guess tomorrow i will go out and go for a walk pain permitting as my leg and back is bad in particular with this weather.

    i am a very difficult person. it takes for me a long time to make decisions. So even if i think about doing something i will never do it straight away. so it will take months for any stuff for me to go and do it and it applies with every single bit. i hate it .. i am so so indecisive. i keep looking or approval and trying to make the right decision and even when i prepare it for so long i hate myself for making the wrong decision. i rarely make the right decision .. there is always and element of rightness but also it is never hundred per cent right. .. it is hard. i am always scared of making any decision because i am always scared if i make the wrong one.. and i am always on the edge. always anxious and depressed. i am rarely calmed.

    Me too @Schildpad. Do you have any resolutions for the New Year?

    I'm so sorry @Catherine21. That must have been difficult. I hope you're able to have a relaxing evening. Maybe a book or something light on TV to help distract you.

    @Holly_Scope I need to get a coat from cotsworlds or Somewhere similar, so I am hoping they will be cheaper in January. I checked yesterday on line and it is same price, so I will check in January.. But I have no plans for new year's eve. But I want to go back to the normal routine. Days are too long and boring.
