This Holiday

The holidays are coming up and some of you may be feeling alone. You may be surrounded with love but yet you still feel alone.

Depression and anxiety are heavy especially during the holidays.

As much as I love holidays, they’ve always been hard for me. Sometimes holidays resemble death, tragic events, or just family drama that you want to avoid. This year instead of isolating yourself embrace the love. Embrace those that are around you.

Dealing with depression and anxiety is never easy. However, when I start to feel overwhelm, I write.

This holiday season when you feel overwhelmed and feel like you want to be in a corner, just write. A lot of times I pull out my phone and write in my notes. I always start off with one of these.

• I’m thankful for

• I’m grateful for

• I am _______

Writing helps me release whatever it is that is going on in my mind. I hope this holiday season gets a little easier for you this year.
