Festive blues

I dont usually find Xmas stressful and I will admit I'm a loner because I enjoy my own company. But a recent stay in hospital has made me think. While I was there I had visitors because I dont have any close family or friends. I'm perfectly happy with that but it has got me thinking more about whether I should find friends.

This Xmas I'm feeling down because I find there is:
  • Increased pressure to spend time with others
  • An expectation this is a happy time of year - pressure to make the most out of an event and for everyone to have a good time
  • Mixing with people you have not necessarily chosen to spend time with
  • Sense of loss - whether because of not having a social group, or being out of work
  • Constant reminders of how we should be enjoying ourselves at Christmas on TV, in advertisements and even in supermarkets
