Anxiety and the Holiday Season 2025

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.
-Maya Angelou

One of the reasons I love this quote is that being centered and grounded in this moment is a great way to offset and lower anxiety. As you probably already know, I also love the concept of holding two, often seemingly very different things, at this same time. In this case, you can be thankful for all you have right here and now, and feel anxious (or many other feelings) at the same time.

If you’re struggling this 2025 holiday season, know that you’re not alone. Many of us struggle this time of year, especially those of us with anxiety. It’s hard to manage anxiety symptoms when there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it all at this point in December. If you could use more help and support, please reach out to your doctor or therapist (or find one in your area if you don’t already have one you can contact). Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and compassion your way!

Holiday Depression 2025

May your walls know joy, may every room hold laughter, and every window open to great possibility.
–Mary Anne Radmacher

Wow is this a busy time of year, and this busyness can lead to overwhelm and even feelings of depression for some of us. For other people, we’re more sensitive to the shorter days, less sunlight and colder weather, which can lead to the winter blues and depression over the holidays.

Other people might feel lonely or be grieving the loss of a loved one during the holiday season, and grief and depression symptoms may show up together. Finally, if you’re pregnant, postpartum or in perimenopause, hormones might also be influencing how you’re feeling and may lead to feelings of depression for some women as well.

If you’re struggling right now, know that you’re not alone. Many of us struggle with holiday depression this time of year. If you could use more help and support right now, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your area. Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and compassion your way!

Holiday self-care ideas to help with grief symptoms:
• Journal and write about the depth of your grief- all the things you feel like you can’t share with other people or the things you don’t feel like others would really understand
• Mediate- listen to a guided meditation or set a timer and do a quiet one
• Be out in nature as much as possible if it has a healing element for you
• Talk to a therapist trained in grief
• Focus on mindfulness and being present and aware of your five senses
• Make time for exercise or gentle stretching
• Spend time with loved ones
• Share stories about your loved one/s and use their name/s
What other self-care ideas help you with your own holiday grief symptoms?
