While I appreciate the fact that many people truly enjoy the holidays, many do not. For some of us, this holiday season is tremendously difficult. The pressure to purchase, the marketed image of the perfect family (which seldom ever exists, in fact) to compare our lives too, the generalized hyper-tension in the air, is enough to drive some people over the edge. Dont let it. If you are feeling dangerously overwhelmed with anxiety right now, do whatever you can to unplug from the culture. Take some time to yourself (soulitude), get a massage if affordable, seek the comfort of friends. And, if you feel dangerously at risk, do not suffer in silence- contact a mental health practitioner or a medical doctor in your community. We can take comfort in the fact that things often calm down right after Xmas, but, in the meantime, take good care of yourself. This tsunami of materialism will soon pass...
