Re: [CHAT] Holiday Blues - Dec 17
4. What are some self-care strategies that you would suggest that could help cope with the holiday blues?
It is all about realistic expectations for me. I always feel like I need to achieve something in the day, and sometimes in the holidays that just isn't going to happen. I try to be kind with myself and recognise when I might be asking more of myself than what I can do. I know that the time between Xmas and New Year is really tiring and a "recovery" period from all the business of the Christmas lead up and that I need more self care time during that week.

Reaching out! Asking people how they're doing and letting them know that they're not forgotten, that there's someone thinking of them

Reach out to others where you can Sometimes even a simple "Thinking of you" or "I'm always here if/when you need someone to talk to" can make the biggest difference

Just letting them know that you are there and being a listening ear. I also try to plan things with friends who I know may be struggling during the festive period, just so they have a distraction and they can get out of the house.
Whatever it takes I know I can make it through!
