I guess I just find holidays *in general* to be very triggering. I have family etc to celebrate the holidays with, but I just don't like holidays. I want to DO something. I hate sitting at home doing nothing. I have a bike etc, but I want to do something more social, I guess, but not stuck at home with family members who like to sit in the kitchen literally from 11:30am until 6pm. (This happens every holiday.)
Edit: most stores are closed anyways on July 4th, but I want something social to do!

I find that holidays are a horrible trigger for me and I remain in a depressed state for much of the month said holiday falls under. I no longer keep in contact with my family for various reasons, and the lack of said relationship is very daunting on me emotionally. Since I lost my father back in 2012 to cancer I have been dreading most major holidays.
