I decided to put this thread here instead of somewhere else because it's not just emotions that we're dealing with when it comes to holiday stress.
Here are some holiday stressors that many people struggle with:
1. Being alone for the holidays.
2. Being in a toxic environment for the holidays (this could include family members with toxic behaviors, friends with toxic behaviors, institutions that feel unsafe during this time, etc.)
3. Having to work on the holidays and thus experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out).
4. Experiencing FOMO in terms of not being able to afford gifts, a holiday meal, etc.
5. The stress of shopping for gifts and budgeting.
6. The stress of weight gain during the holidays.
7. Experiencing spiritual manipulation during the holidays.
8. Experiencing financial manipulation during the holidays.
9. The stress of being a vegetarian or vegan during the holidays.
10. Any others?
List some tips that can help us to cope with holiday stress.
If you know of any additional holiday stressors that are not mentioned above, please feel free to list them.
Additionally, please feel free to list resources that can help others deal with holiday stress.
Preparing in advance now will help us when the holidays near. I hope this thread helps.
