I really didn’t want to feel sad today and hoped I wouldn’t but it’s happened.
Christmas Day started well with walking the dogs over the fields with my parents and opening lots of presents then having a nice pub lunch with some of the family. After that I napped and then my dad annoyed me, the one thing I wanted to watch on tv today he got funny about as it would mean he missed one of the many soaps on! After that we had a cocktail and some buffet food and my parents got sucked into the tv, watched soaps and downton, and didn’t want to socialise or play games at all. So I was sat there bored on my phone with no one to speak to or have fun with.
It’s my first year being single in 9 years and it’s a struggle. I’m used to being around others and a bigger family so it makes me sad seeing friends put up pics with big families and children etc as I want that so bad and miss that a lot. Is it too much to ask that Christmas Day doesn’t revolve around the tv. It’s pretty sad I haven’t been able to play games, be social and have fun this year. I really can’t stay in for NYE so am now desperate to make plans. This is not helping me and my depression. I need to make things better than waste time feeling like this…life is too short!
Merry Christmas all and I hope you’ve all had a wonderful time xoxo
Try to avoid Facebook’s misrepresented depiction of people’s Christmases. It’ll make you feel worse!

I try but it is hard when everyone has bigger families and those of a similar age around them today. It’s been the worst Christmas for me and I love Christmas so it’s hard to accept

Yeah, I can understand that. Tough when it’s a time of
year intrinsically associated with large gatherings. I suppose at least you’re not alone, even if the people you’re with aren’t the most stimulating.
