Holidays are a stressful time of year for many people, but can be especially taxing on survivors of trauma and abuse. With Thanksgiving coming up in the States this week and Christmas around the corner, I thought it might be time to address our holiday concerns. It was definitely a popular topic in the TSQ poll from last week!

I find winter hard because of s.a.d but christmas takes my mind off it all, then I usually hit a crisis in Janurary after it's all over.
I understand that it's so hard for some people though and feel so bad because xmas is such an intrusive time.. you can't really escape it.
Today is the 23rd Nov, usually I'd wait till at least Dec 1st but I had such an awful day, I'm starting to put up my decorations tonight.
Not like anyone will see them anyway so it shouldn't matter to anyone else when I put them up or take them down.. it's just for me.
