Not feeling too good

66Mustang · December 2023

I know people can't really help over the internet but I just wanted to share to see if it makes me feel a little bit better

We had some things happen in the family overnight and I am quite anxious and am not feeling great at the moment

I was already feeling nervous enough about having a family dinner tonight but this has made it worse

I don't feel I can tell my parents as they have enough to worry about with another family member and also my Mum adores Christmas and I don't want to spoil it for her

Oh no hopefully it will turn out OK

Hi @66Mustang I am sorry you are finding Christmas so difficult. Are you only one day away from your own home and the rest even though you will have visitors in your own home? Try and enjoy the food and drink and Cheese and just do the best you can. At home you can escape to your room when you need a break. Could you sit in the car when you are not at home for a short break. You can do this @66Mustang fingers crossed it will not seem to long before it is all over. Take care.

Thank you a lot both @sandy123 and @Beaver79

I have just heard that my "grumpy" relative is in an all right mood today so that should hopefully make things a little easier

I am looking forward to the food

Hey @66Mustang, I hope everything is okay. I know things can get very stressful this time of year, but it's almost over! I hope grumpy isn't too bad as is predicted and you have a lovely meal.

Thanks @Jimm_Scope

I am so sorry @66Mustang you had some things happen during the night.
I really hope you get through them.
Thinking of you loads
sending hugs 🤗

Thank you @Ada

Sorry for not sharing exactly what happened but want to keep it to myself at the moment, I don't actually mind sharing as I trust people here, but just in case the family member is reading the forum I wouldn't want them to see I have shared.

Ada · December 2023

It’s perfectly fine. You don’t need to share. You just need to know how much folk care about you. X

@66Mustang afternoon mate sorry to here you aren't feeling too great, its that time of year when we all feel under pressure to be ok but please don't put yourself under pressure, we are as ever here if you need friends.

66Mustang · December 2023

Thanks @woodbine and @Ada

66Mustang · December 2023

I’m at the relative’s house now

They seem OK

chiarieds · December 2023

Hoping all goes well & you can enjoy your meal

66Mustang · December 2023

Thanks @chiarieds

Been here 45 mins now and going OK

I am having a beer

Sorry for my poor wordsmithing I am on my phone and can’t stand typing on this, prefer a proper keyboard

chiarieds · December 2023

Definitely prefer a keyboard too; I'm rubbish using a phone

You need some cheese to nibble on with that beer!

66Mustang · December 2023

We have a big gammon to plough through first

woodbine · December 2023

hope its going ok ?

Ada · December 2023

Thinking of you. Enjoy your beer

Lou67 · December 2023

@66Mustang
Glad to hear things are going good just now. Enjoy the food and beer and it won’t be too long till your back in the comfort and safety off your own home. ❤️

66Mustang · December 2023

Thanks all for the support, I thought I replied but realised I was getting this thread mixed with the Christmas Anxiety thread. I hope you are all having a really nice day today.

66Mustang · December 2023

I am struggling but just did a good thing that I am really proud of.

I am usually diplomatic with my relative but she was in an especially bad mood today so I said in front of her "I am just going to take 30 mins in my room until people have calmed down"

It was hard to have the courage to say that but I think it's sewing the seeds to get her to understand that her temper affects me
