Hi everyone! I hope your day is going well!😊
I just wanted to make a little post talking about the Easter holidays for those who celebrate.
Like most holidays, it's a time where family can come together for the first time in a while. This can be exciting for some however daunting and stressful for others. It can mean being forced to interact with family members that you don't get along with or don't respect you. For others it means having to socialise for a very long time which can be extremely tiring. For me personally, I'm not fond of the holidays. Due to my AuDHD, I get extremely tired from constant socialisation especially having to mask in front of extended family. Some members don't get along with other family members which can make things very uncomfortable.
If you are forced to go to these family gatherings, please know that you don't need to change yourself to please family members, you are amazing just the way you are. Although things may be difficult now, you will get to a point in your life where you can choose not to go to these things and focus on your wellbeing as that is the most important thing. For those who need a break from socialisation, take it! Don't be afraid to have some quiet time to yourself as you deserve it.
You are doing so well and I and many others are here to support you!❤️
