Top Ten Reasons why I hate holidays:
10) Everyone expects you to be happy and no one understands when you are miserable
9) Everyone else is happy around me which makes me more miserable
8) Stress!
7) Traffic!
6) Parties everywhere and either I am not invited or I am invited and don't want to go but should.....
5) Reminds me that I truly am ill when I can't even muster the energy to enjoy the celebrations
4) The only thing enjoyable to me is the food
3)The anxiety!
2)I spend all day wondering what it would be like to be "me" again......
1) I feel like a complete failure not engaging in the celebrations because I have let my child down..... AGAIN!FM

About invitations..when I start thinking that "no one loves me", I try to remind myself that I wouldn't even go if I was invited!! I hate being around more than 10 or so..
How old is your child? Could someone else fill in for you and escort the child?
Take care of yourself, Pat

((((((((you)))))))
Well, hope you got through it okay & feel at least somewhat better now.Holidays suck.......there is SO much pressure on people to feel good; have happy families; etc etc.
