The moment I see Christmas decor in the stores, my anxiety goes on high alert (which these days is around August). The holidays bring the promise of cold weather, festive decorations, and fun music. It also delivers invites to parties, family dinners, hugs, pats on the back, and conversation. It’s like the holidays are an entire season dedicated to socializing. ::SCREAM::
So here is the holiday edition of what it means to have anxiety. It’s not all candy canes and Happy Holidays. In fact, it can look more like Bah Humbug for some of us.
Having anxiety during the holidays means…
If you know someone with anxiety, the best gift you can give them this holiday season is the gift of respecting their boundaries. They will let you know what they are. In the end, it’s the best gift you can give them during a very social and traditionally stressful season.
For my fellow anxiety sufferers, here are my holiday wishes for you:
May your blankets be warm. May your TV not fail you. May your panic attacks be few and your loved ones understand you.
