The holidays can be filled with so many wonderful things as well as added stress and anxiety. Whether you're filling the calendar to the brim with extras or you're feeling holes because of major life changes this year, observe these and set boundaries. And reach out to a trusted professional if you feel like it's a little too much this year.

The holiday season can be joyful — but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, or isolating, especially if you’re living with anxiety or depression. If parties, travel, family gatherings, or expectations feel like “too much,” you’re not alone.

A few ways to ease holiday stress:
• Let go of perfection and lower expectations
• Remember most people aren’t focused on you as much as you think
• Avoid using alcohol or substances to cope
• Set boundaries and say no when you need to
• Plan ahead for travel or busy events
• Talk with kids about what to expect to reduce their anxiety too

You deserve a season that feels manageable and meaningful — not stressful.
