umadoshi for sharing this link: 37 Self-Care Tips For Anyone Who Is Kind of Not Okay RN. The holidays are a stressful time, even when everything is okay; if you're going through shit (financial issues, divorce, a breakup, death of a loved one, general depression/anxiety, etc) they can be even worse. I hope you guys can find something to help get through the "happiest season of all."
Definitely make time to take care of yourself, friends! ♥ ♥ ♥
EDIT: Also I have to share this poem, Questions to ask yourself before giving up and particularly the last paragraph (idk poetry, I'm sure each little section isn't actually called a paragraph) which really struck me:
Remember: you are a comma, one
beloved earring, a house
circled on a traveller’s map,
sometimes misplaced,
but never an imposition.
Everyone feels like a hallway
at some point or another.
But you are a room
that people enter to stay.
So powerful, it moves me greatly to read this.
