They're just drama-filled and fake. Something bad always happens and no one can smile unless they're wasted, which only lasts a short while before it turns into yet another fight.

This year, I'm especially put off. It's an anniversary of crap I don't want to remember, one of the two people I cared to see won't be showing and I also get a nice kick in the face because I'm unwelcome at my fiance's family's. I might get to see him for an hour at my dad's before he has to leave.

I don't know if it's the stress or what, but I've been almost entirely unable to eat for the past four days without feeling sick. And here I am, whining and *****ing pointlessly. I'm so freaking pathetic.

Why do I wake up in the morning? Why do I care to go to a holiday I hate? Why am I still breathing?

I’m sorry you are having a tough time. You are in good company in that there are more than a few of us that dread or don’t look forward to the holidays. I wish we could set the clock ahead right now about 12 hours to when it’s all over. Being asked to leave by your boyfriend’s family didn’t help. I’ll be thinking of you today and sending best wishes and positive vibes.

Better to make people mad than make yourself depressed.
Do what you want, and don’t force yourself to conform to expectations.

It seems like there's so much emphasis on being happy with the holidays and being with family. For so many, getting together with family is stressful. I read all kinds of articles about it, but it seems like I'm the only one who would dread being with family. I hear so many people at work telling me what a great time they're going to have being with family. I wonder if it's really like that?

I personally always liked Thanksgiving. I enjoyed it when I was with my family in the past. My family has dissolved as of now and that's too bad. I have enjoyed Thanksgiving just being by myself, although by the time I eat, I feel a sense of emptiness. I have spent some Thanksgivings with other families and I hated it. Never again!

Christmas is hard for me. It was hard for me being with my family and even harder being alone.

I never had to deal with in-laws so I wouldn't know what that would be like.

Holidays are hard. I tend to joke about christmas and say I’m a scrooge. Really it is just too painful to enjoy.

I can see why this year would he especially difficult for you. I hopeyou are at least getting lots of doggy cuddles

I got to spend a good amount of time with my puppy and cat. That helped me through. Don't know what I would've done without them there.
