If the holidays make you nervous, you’re not doing anything wrong…you’re being human.
This time of year can bring up old patterns, family stress, grief, social pressure, or disruptions to routines. Here are a few gentle reminders that can help:
• Set boundaries that protect your emotional energy
• Make a plan for breaks, grounding, or stepping outside if you feel overwhelmed
• Stick to the routines that help you feel stable (sleep, medication, meals, movement)
• Say no when you need to — you don’t owe anyone more than you can give
• Reach out to someone who feels safe, even if it’s just a quick text
• Give yourself permission to leave early or modify plans
You deserve a holiday that feels manageable, not overwhelming. 💙
