I did wish to skip out on Christmas, but have found myself incapable of getting out of it. I don't think the world events really impact how much "holiday spirit" I got going on. I've hated the holidays since I was a small child. I have a particularly bad experience that I'm reminded of sometimes that happened on Christmas day. I won't give details but it was especially traumatic. It's just one reason out of many. I honestly never go to family holiday events without being intoxicated. I just can't do it without numbing myself out.
I'm not sure if I answered everything, but I didn't want you to feel alone out there. I'm here, just hesitant about which threads I click on. Thanks for keeping it sort of light, by the way.

Do you regret feeling this way about the holidays? I do. I want to enjoy them so much but can't. For some reason this year is worse than the others. It will be over soon, thank goodness and we will not have to deal with this for another 12 mos. Glad you came over to this side of PC. Yes, we all have to be careful about what we read and post. I used to be more open about posting personal stuff, not so much anymore. Some here, know my story. It's not about the details anyway. We need to be here for each other because we know we are struggling, that's what it's about for me anyway.
