Why do the holidays cause so much pain?
I have come to understand that depression and anxiety seem to be heightened at this time of year.
If you've experienced any sort of loss, the holidays bring that loss to the forefront.
If you have experienced rejection from family or friends, the holidays can bring the pain all over again. You begin the process of feeling inadequate a new.
Since it's the time of year you're "suppose" to feel good you hide your pain in fake smiles and "Happy Holiday" greetings.
Can we take a moment to recognize that the pain we feel is real?
Can we pause to reflect on what is causing that pain?
Now can we agree to work on expressing that pain to someone we trust?
Now can we give everything we have to Keep Fighting and bring an end to the dread and despair that is felt?
Let's take this Christmas season to love one another without question.
If you are in need of someone to listen please reach out. You are not alone. You are worthy and you are loved!
ALWAYS KEEP FIGHTING - Jared Padalecki
Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me."
