Hasn’t felt like Christmas today at all, haven’t felt that so-called Christmas spirit throughout the run up to today at all this year. Seen so many photos of other people being happy today, and it just deflates me even more. Had messages from a few people saying “hope you’ve had a good Christmas” but ended up just ignoring and not replying cos there’s no way of really explaining to them how I’m really feeling. Feels like crap like any other day. Will be the same tomorrow. Wake up, feel like crap for the whole day, go to sleep, repeat. What a great life.

You know… you’re not the only one feeling like that. I have no idea why, but this year i felt no “christmas time” at all, not in previous weeks and not now. Last year i was in an awful place, and it still did feel like christmas, same like the year before (in which i was in an even worse place). For some reason it sort of became a mild inconvenience because grocery stores are closed, and that’s it. Coincidence? probably.
I completely get what you mean, last year wasn’t great but still felt like Christmas. This year just doesn’t feel special or anything at all.
I feel the same way, I truly do. We hear you.
I haven’t felt the “Christmas spirit” or whatever more than once or twice in my life, including childhood. My mental issues began at an extremely immature age – around 2 or 3. It was ignored until I was nearly fourteen.
Today, I didn’t feel it either. Something just feels dead, not there anymore, missing.
Just… gray.
Feeling exactly the same. Couldn’t have said it any better than those last 2 sentences
Just to say I agree with the other points. I have found in the weeks leading up to Christmas theres no spirit whatsoever this year. Its as though everyone is just going through the motions. Why bother? Its the one time of year to sieze saying hey to friends and family you’ve not contacted in a while, possibly going so far as to mending bridges or helping those you rarely see too (imho). But this year its just been a cursory “hi”. 🙁
Still: Merry Christmas to y’all, I wish you a peaceful evening with some random yet happy thoughts…and heavy metal hehehe \m/
Just putting on the headphones and blasting out some metal to get me through the evening. Merry Christmas to you too \m/
