Hi Raya, It's okay to not be okay in the Christmas season. I think the reason you're in depression and anxiety is because you brought your trauma from your childhood days. The reason I got depressed this 2024 and I am afraid to go back to the corporate world is because I was traumatized and now by God's grace together with my loving husband I am slowly letting go of those traumas so that it won't affect my being. Before Christmas I was crying throughout the day and I don't know why but I tried my best to let go of my traumas or the things that keep on hurting me so that I can live life happily. I suggest you go somewhere quiet or just take a break from the world and feel yourself
Thanks, sis. Back then, my family genuinely enjoyed Christmas, and I could see their happiness. However, I often felt lonely, maybe because my foster father was an OFW and rarely home for Christmas. I also dislike loud noise. I understand depression and anxiety can result from a chemical imbalance with no clear cause. Perhaps my biological mother struggled with depression too, which might explain her leaving me and why I may have inherited it. I used to take medication, but I stopped because I have three kids and needed to prioritize their needs. Instead, I tried to divert my attention by doing chores, focusing on my day job, and keeping myself busy. I also worked on avoiding my biggest triggers, like distance, crowds, and too many responsibilities. But as a mother, I can’t escape responsibilities, and they do add to my stress. Still, having a family may be stressful, but it’s a life worth living. I pray that all of us who struggle with this invisible illness find calmness and soon live a peaceful and joyful life. Hugs Sisss 😍🤗
