I used to love the holiday season, now I just feel like an outsider observing everyone's enjoyment and good times. I avoid most holiday activities; basically, my rule of thumb is to not participate in anything that adds to my general anxiety. For me it helps to make a commitment to leaving my apartment everyday. Some days I literally have to drag myself out the door, but I do get a mood boost when I do it. This Xmas coincides with my move back home; I hope being with family will be comforting and let me enjoy the holiday somewhat (fingers & toes crossed).
