Struggle with new year

[Star8181]

I know I should have seen it coming. I feel low every new year. I hate it. I can feel it building up from Boxing Day and it’ll reach a peak on New Year’s Eve. All I can think about is all the things that are rubbish about me, all my short comings.

And I think it’s all friends meeting up and having parties makes me realise I don’t have any ‘proper’ friends. I had a little hope this year as we had an invite but seems we’ve been uninvited.

I know I sound so negative, it’s just how I’m feeling at the moment. Not even sure what I’m asking…just sharing maybe.

A lot of people feel this way, me included. But who is 'we'? That's got to be good!

It’s the old ‘FOMO’ biting you - if it helps new year is always a bit shit. Are you sure you’ve been uninvited? Maybe worth a text to check if plans are going ahead?

I think the best way to counter it is to just plan something nice for the evening even if that’s buying an M&S ‘night in’ meal thing and finding a movie you want to watch.

I completely get you though - I’ve had those feelings before about new year.

stay off social media!!
