I feel so fed up

Work is really hard at the moment and I feel like I'm being crap at it. I'm not looking forward to christmas at all due to multiple family issues, in fact it actually just makes me feel really stressed and tense. I dont feel like I've got enough money to spend on presents for my family. I'm fat and feel unattractive. I cant be bothered to do anything, the house is a state because I just have no motivation whatsoever.

There is just so much pressure at this time, I really feel your pain. I think Christmas just comes with such high expectations. But it will pass. Try and be kind to yourself

Thank you. I just wish I was one of these people who absolutely loved christmas and was so excited for it. Even just one year.

I'm sorry you are feeling so negative OP.

I think there are a lot of us that struggle at this time of year for one reason or another. But there is so much pressure from all sides to present a front that Christmas time is wonderful. For a lot of us it isn't.

Personally I can't wait until January and some normality.

I hope the New Year is more positive and kinder for you OP.
