Went to a friendsgiving and I was in an awful mood. I was pretty quiet and left early saying I wasn't feeling well (which was true, I just didn't specify that it was mental). I was mostly having a hard time because I quit drinking 3.5 months ago and this was my first holiday without the booze.
I need a better strategy for Xmas. I have no plans a this point which is dangerous. Last year consisted of drinking a bottle of whiskey in the passenger seat on the way home from a depressing day trip. My mom passed 3 years ago so the holiday's have been difficult and without structure since then. __________________ Bipolar II, ADD Prozac 20, Wellbutrin XL 150, Abilify 5, Vyvanse 40, Ambien 10, Seroquel 50 (tapering off) |

It went okay. I was asked to eat at the kids' table even though I'm in my 30s and there was room at the adults' table. It bothered me a little, but my niece and nephew enjoyed sitting next to me, and I'd do (almost) anything for them. My sister didn't verbally attack me like usual, which was a nice surprise. On certain subjects, my mom tends to think and talk in a covertly racist way because she's dripping in white middle-class privilege, but fails to recognize it. That irritates me the most. I was also sick and had to go to urgent care, but the staff was nice, for which I am thankful. Compared to previous holidays, no one attacked, insulted, gaslighted (gaslit?), or belittled me, so I'm calling it a success!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
