This time of year 😒

[Lakeviewhouse]

I really struggle to cope at this time of year. The darkness, the grey, rain, sickness, long evenings, housebound.....the list is endless. And my whole mood and motivation feels dark and grey too. It's such a big crap struggle. I can't wait until January. The hype of Christmas makes me wanna bury myself somewhere and sleep until January. But that ain't realistic. Sorry to be so down in the dumps but everyday is a struggle.

I find this time of year very difficult too OP.
Every year I seriously wonder how I'm going to survive the Christmas hype. It makes me feel so alienated from everyone and everything.
I just long for January 6th when things return to a semblance of normality.

I'm sorry you are struggling OP.

I love Thanksgiving & Christmas and find January to be the slowest month.

If it makes you feel better, it’s only 6 weeks until Christmas and even less time until the days start to get longer (5.5 weeks?).
