How do you feel about it? Do you have plans?

We are going over to a neighbor's house and I am not really looking forward to it. Right now the thought of 5 hours of socialization sounds awful. I could get drunk but who knows if that would end up fun, or me depressed and suicidal the next day.

I have been waiting to vent out for the last few days... but as i have cut all contact with everyone i have ever known, this is a question i have not heard... yet within me i have wanted to shout out loud...

Last year i spent New Years with my fiance watching London fireworks on TV... we started 2014 together, in eaxh others arm... we made promises together... saw a future together... we also decided a name for our child whenever we had one... Last new year has been the best new year ever...

This year... I am spending it all alone... locking myself away from the world... just me and my memories... this year i have no dreams... no resolutions... no ambitions... i have noone... A new year with myself and my Disorder...

I dont plan on sitting with a bottle counting the mins down... i dont plan on welcoming 2015 in any way or form... instead it will just be another night going into another day... there is nothing special about new years anymore...

Lets shed our final tear,
I wish you all Happy New Year...


Lets shed our final tear,
I wish you all Happy New Year...

I plan to stay at home and stick to my regular schedule of being in bed at ten. I don't feel the need to stay up and see the new year in anymore.

I'm filled with dread over the whole thing. I might just go on a soul searching solo mission . I don't think I can kick it with my hard partying friends and risk my already shakey stability. I know they are going to be upset with me, as I'm usually the life of the party, but dammit, I need to start making decisions for me.
I totally get what you mean about the next day too. I feel like, after partying I wake up and tip toe around waiting for my brain to wake up. And who knows which version it is...
Good luck!
Thanks for this!

If it were just me I wouldn't do anything, but I have kids and it's still a big deal for them.

I usually pull out my check book and write 2015 on a bunch of them, hang with hubby, maybe have a drink maybe not. Usually wind up in bed early for more entertaining stuff than TV

I find myself in a strange city for New Year; in a place where it is celebrated with more importance than Christmas. Given that I'm also usually in bed by 10pm I'm not sure if I'll have the stamina to stay up. We'll see.
Either way it holds no major significance for me. It's just another day as far as I'm concerned.

Gonna hang out with my hubby & daughter, play some games & watch some movies-have a little bubbly at midnight. I'm into keeping things low key without any added stress-guess my age is showing-not really into the whole party scene.

We're going to a friend's house like we do every year. I'd just as soon not to since I don't really care about New Years but I'm not dreading it. I'm not sure if I'm drinking yet.

I'm hoping to do something really fun on New Year's. I've been waiting for 2015 for a few months now. I've had some hard things to deal with, but I've come out on top as a stronger person because of it. The local radio station is teaming up with the local casino to have a NYE party with no cover charge and live bands. I'd love to go, but I'm hoping I can go to one of my friends' parties if no one wants to go with me.

I've always loved watching Ryan Seacrest's NYE shows. He is so loveable and charming, he makes a really great host and I think he is a good replacement for DickClark.

edit (SERIOUSLY!? I can't believe PC bleeped out his NAME)

I'm doing nothing actually. In the greater scheme of things, it's just another day. I love I get to still where shorts in January!

Maybe I just hate this night because it signifies another year I am forced to be alive.

I had thoughts of forcing myself out but I'll most likely stay in and watch tv as that's been my pattern lately.

i'll have to sit in a room with about 25 people( much more than the room is made for ) and it will be horrible because i don't like them and they will all be drunk and I don't drink. I am just going to sit there, smile and try to get through it without crying. Talking about the same crap, wow you grew up so fast, you study? Yeah i'm studying and it is so much fun. Wow that's so great. Blablabla.

Staying at home with my hubby, eating junk food and watching the ball drop at midnight, then going to bed. No big deal.....but I am looking forward to seeing this year end.

I was going to be spending it with my boyfriend and parents but seeing as he wants a break for a month I'll be spending it with my folks. I may as well as the fireworks will wake me up if I go to bed. It has been a lousy year for me and I'm just not in the mood for it.
