Hi everyone,

I just wondered if other people in the forum were feeling anxious about this time of year?

I was watching TV yesterday and all these adverts for kids' toys/food/furniture stores were flashing up and it just got me feeling on edge.

Its not like I have anything major to plan. My Mum doesnt want me spending too much on presents because of our wedding next year so I'm not going to. She said she will pay towards the hire car so I can drive us down to see her and the rest of the family.

If I'm honest, Christmas is a time where I've preferred to shut myself away. I dont mind visiting family, but to be honest I'd rather stay indoors with my boyfriend. We'll probably meet friends for new year but I dread that too. I find new year a bit depressing really. I start feeling anxious at the thought of going out and being around people and it being really busy
