i honestly 'dread' this time of year now
because it's not the same as when i was a kid in the 80s, the magic has gone now, and if you're on your own and live alone with no relationships or support system besides your elderly mother, who lives far away....it can be a very lonely time, very isolating too....and feeling very cut off from people....as social media can create the illusion most people are having a great time with their big social circle, with friends, relationships and family..........and you are excluded from that, in a void on your own and missing out.
my mother is traveling down to see me at christmas and spending the day with me, she will bring me my presents and christmas meals and food, but she doesn't stay with me for days like she used to as she's elderly now, but she tells me she's good for her age.
i'm in my late 40s now and are trying to work on improving my life, to find new friends or a friend and a relationship if possible, but i know it will be hard at my age, coping with mental problems.
