To be over the festive season and life

Anyone else just over everything at the moment and would feel relief to think of not having to wake up in the morning.

Yep! I feel the same and have done for a long time. Its not festive related for me as well. I'd love to go to sleep and just not wake up.

Topjoe19 · 04/12/2025 13:03

Yes. It's worrying me that I feel this way.

I hate Christmas! I’m already looking on Airbnb for somewhere to go next Christmas!!
I’m sorry you feel that you’d be better not waking up.

WallaceinAnderland · 04/12/2025 13:07

You can opt out of Christmas. It's just a day with a massive unhealthy build up. No wonder it affects people differently. This too will pass.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 04/12/2025 13:14

Christmas doesnt worry me. But life...it just seems so terribly hard, pointless and joyless. (Don't worry HQ, im not about to do anything rash)

yep, I suppose it’s not just the festive season but life in general. I’m safe but so over everything being just so bloody hard.

What about it is hard op?

Ella31 · 04/12/2025 14:20

Op, I remember you, am I right in thinking you've had a tough time with your dh being difficult? I'm sorry to see you aren't feeling great❤️

FlashyAndShiny · 04/12/2025 14:35

huh, hello? OP claiming that they want to be over with their life and posters are talking about bloody Christmas ?
OP, if you are struggling with your mental health at the moment, please, I am begging you, leave this godforsaken site and try to find someone to talk to in real life.
Sending love.

Do you have anybody to talk to OP? It’s okay to feel that way about Christmas, but you shouldn’t feel that way about your entire life! Could you make a GP appointment to get some help? X

I’ve not got anyone irl, hence feeling a bit over it all. This time of year just reinforces that I’m existing not living.

@blankcanvas3 gp surgery couldn’t offer me an appt until next month. I checked earlier.

Yep. It all feels pointless in many ways. I'm not going to do anything but I'm not invested in life.

Fontet · 04/12/2025 15:34

Definitely x

Even if you call first thing in the morning? Usually they offer same day appointments when you do.

You can never get through and when you do the appts are gone
