How did everyone go over X-mas?

[Beetle]

HI

I thought I pop the question....How did everyone survive x-mas?

My x-mas was for the first time NOT drenched with emotional pain detachment and feelings of uselessness. I had in fact a fabulous x-mas! I spent it with my friends and it was lovely. I also worked and I was very busy. Today is the first day on my ow and I'm exhausted from the festivities and working. Would love to meet people today too since I feel a bit lonely but I am at the same time bit too exhausted to go out  town or something.

Hey Beetle

I'm so glad you had an AWESOME xmas!!

Mine was both good and bad.  But I'm on the other side now.

Hey why Beetle?  I've been trying to work it out because I love VWs and also little all to cute ladybugs. 

Take care!  Cheers Amamas

HI Amamas

I think I read your post, when I tried to reply the system kicked me off, now I cant find your post anymore......bugger.

Sorry to hear your x-mas was emotionally draining. X-mas is always tricky. But now its over, you are on the way up and that is the only thing that counts!! Keep looking forward and try to keep concentrating on yourself. You are doing a great job!!

My unsername? Yeah I like the VW and the little bugs. As a kid I always thought they bring me luck and I still love them. So yeah beetles are great-as cars or bugs 🙂

Hey Beetles

Glad to read you had a great Xmas.  Mine started off very emotional and lonely as hubby was at work and kids were sleeping in (as adult kids do!!)

But I came on here and chatted with Neil for a few minutes which was good.

Then hubby came home and kids woke up - we all had a great time.  Boys even got out the table tennis and we all played.  It was a good night. And I even got some beautiful presents.

Jo xx

dear Beetle, I missed my immediate little family, especially Marcie, and had a can of baked beans, so this year it was just another day, but pleased it's over. Geoff.

[helpmeplease]

all i can say is thankfully its over for another year.

mine started out going out xmas eve and getting high.old habits die hard when needed to deal withy family

i got to my boys house just in time to wake them up.(my first xmas in 5 years with myboys). the time with them was fantastic

i managed tohold it together for most of the day. boxing day ended with a few new markings to my body nothing major, just little reminders. seems to always be the way after dealing with my parents

i am still alive its a good day

Christmas Eve was very dark and I will have scars from it. Christmas day I huddled in bed and hid from the family as much as I could. The days following were much better though my mood swings have been up and down like the Assyrian empire. Today things are going bad again.

Glad to hear to hear people had better a christmas than I did. You all deserve some happiness.

GA.

to Geoff, some people who have just come aboard Marcie is my little almost 2 grand daughter. Geoff.

dear GA, it's terrible to actually think of how bad your Xmas was, and the scars to show from it.

We worry a lot for you GA as there must be so many occasions that you feel lower than anything in the world, and it doesn't ever seem to improve for you.

This yo-yo effect caused from depression is just so horrific, although I never could self harm myself, but I know at what level you have to be to actually perform it.

We wish but we can't tell you not to perform it, all we can do is to encourage another way to ease this pain, but we also know that this pain is something no one can understand not unless you have experienced it yourself.

Take care and we really hope that your depression will leave you alone, it's surely time that you have had enough. L Geoff. x
