To hate NYE

[Flowerfield22]

So many people posting about how amazing their years are, how much fun they've had etc

I've achieved nothing, my life is as pathetic as this time last year, still wishing I wasn't here

Just feels like a kick

Oh OP, it's crap isn't it? Crazy how a day can do this to people.
I'm alone too, despite having a child, they're with their dad.
Everyone else is (understandably) doing family things.
I tend to see the evening part of NYE as an opportunity to be as indulgent as possible. All your favourite things: to watch, eat, drink, do. Do all of them!
You're not alone and we can give you permission to do all the most indulgent things you'd like to this evening ☺️

I'm.in bed already. Just riding it out

So all my positivity I found earlier has gone
I'm sat here trying not to burst into tears
I feel so alone

Happy new year I guess 😕

But have you watched Jack Ryan yet OP?

Fwiw I don’t have the problems some of you are facing and my heart goes out to those of you who do. I really hope 2023 delivers health and hope for you all.

personally, I never enjoy nYE. It’s boring. I don’t remember enjoying it since I was about 25 when I used to get shit faced in a club.

it’s for young people surely?

I hate NYE. I had forgotten it was NYE. Try to pretend it isn't. I'm tidying my house, not going out or watching TV.

No I'm saving that for evenings when I'm back at work 🙂

well you can plan your next year. How exciting! A fresh start.

1. get to therapy. If you’re going already then that is a step and that is a GOOD achievement that so many people are scared of. If not? You need to start.
2. start living your life. You can do this. You’re the only one who can. I don’t know what you look like but I would bet you a lot of money that there will be worse looking people than you who have found partners.

Start now OP! There are 3 seasons on Prime. He's a duck. You will thank me.

I'm sat at home with a beer contemplating an early night but I know I'll get woken up by the fireworks (even though its raining). I haven't celebrated new year properly since I stopped clubbing. I was meant to be going round to a friend's but they cancelled this morning(I was quite relieved as I didn't want to pay nye taxi costs).

I'm testing my new air fryer tonight. Yes, that is how exciting my NYE is. At 🕛 my town will have a completely mental firework display and the tugs will sound their horns. I shall feel lonely for 5 minutes reflecting on times gone by, then I will swig the last of my Merlot and go to sleep cuddling my cat.

The moral of this story?

One is NEVER alone with a cat. Be the person they think you are.

I'm.in bed and bored

@Hedjwitch can you think of nothing in that there bed to ahem entertain yourself

Here is a

I've had many NYE in the past feeling like you. It's dark. Raining. Social media shows e everyone apparently having an amazing time. Winter is awful if you already feel low. The lighter nights are coming, Spring is around the corner and the world is full of possibilities and friendships if you open yourself up to them and believe you are worthy- which you are!!!
Most peoples social media is BS remember that xx

Feel for you OP. Even with a family new year can feel like a low point. At my age what is there to look forward to?

However you sound young with lots of possibilities ahead of you should you want them. What's meant for you won't pass you by.

Trying to remind myself that this is one night, tomorrow will be a new day and to stay off social media. That way madness lies...

HNY to you.

I think that this time of the year can be hard for some people. We get bombarded by social media posts telling us "how wonderful" other people's lives are. You just need to remember that they are not going to put up on social media that her and him have fought the whole Christmas or that their child has a lot of issues.

I also think that in January your better off just relaxing and making changes gradually to your life. If your stuck in a bit of a rut see what evening classes or groups are on locally and find out how to join them. See if you can do some volunteer work as your using your talents to help out people and you meet other like minded people.

Also there is nothing wrong with been single and your better off on your own than in a bad relationship which may have kids involved also.

If I was the person my cat thinks I am I really would give up. Never has any living creature treated another with such disdain. Just filled his bowl with fresh chicken and recieved a haughty tail flick and look of abject disgust in return. 😂

I dislike NYE at the best of times; this year I loathe it. The last three years have been absolutely shit, culminating in the death of my dad over the summer. I’m dreading what the new year will bring - in case it is even more awful. I’ve been in a foul mood all day. Not speaking to DH now because we couldn’t agree what to watch (pathetic I know!) waiting for DC to settle down and I’ve gone to bed. I’d love to just go to sleep and wake up at some point tomorrow morning (when I can see the wood for the trees) but wanker neighbours are letting off the loudest fireworks known to man.
I wish all of you struggling, some peace and a better day tomorrow

I can't believe 2020 NYE was better.

Pick one thing you want to change and let us give you some suggestions on how to achieve that.

Stay off social media it's just full of bullshit.

No one ever posts anything bad it's all about the look at me and how great my life is.

Hope you feel better in the morning. Go for a nice walk, blow the cobwebs away. Listen to a podcast or something whilst you walk.

Fresh air really can help. X

Thinking of you OP ..thats all x

So, you got through it OP. Only a couple of days until normal life resumes.
