My Christmas visit ended with my sister shouting at me to not bother coming back.

She's a horrible person. And I'm done with her. Unfortunately it means never seeing my nephews again, but it's not worth it anymore.
On my way home now, going to see my boyfriend and maybe visit his family. They're actually nice to me.

That's so sad to hear GG. Maybe just give it some time and things will improve.

In the meantime, visit with your BF's family and enjoy their company. Hope it goes well.

That's not unusual at all, try not to feel bad about it.

Try not to worry about it is mise spartacus. I had accommodations too during my LC, a good few other people in your class will too I'm sure. People are granted them for loads of reasons. It's nice to have your own space to do the exams in.

Psych put me on a higher dosage of meds a few weeks back, think they're kicking in. Ibe been going through a period of low mood these past few months. So many other issues to deal with; anxiety, an ED, self harm and then all the other BPD stuff. I feel like I'll never be able to fix them all

It seems that you made the right decision. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays and that your boyfriend spoils you.

Also hopefully your sister will calm down and recognise that it is important that you and your nephews should stay in contact.

I know it probably sounds negative but I don't think she will. Besides, I've decided myself that it's not worth it. I'll send them stuff for their birthdays and that'll be that.

I thought I was the only one who dreaded Christmas. I don't get on with my family(parents and sister) as 2 of them are really not nice. Thankfully they are in another county. My husbands family and my immediate family here are great and yet I still wish it was all over.

Its just such sh***, people going mad over WHAT? talking about Christmas as though it was the biggest and best thing ever and we all have to be so happy.

Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, not an excuse to spend stupid money on people who have everything. Its just another day.

Now the questions will be "well how did you get over Christmas?, Did you have a good Christmas?"

I could just scream, I'm sick of it all. I'm finding it hard to enjoy anything about it.

What's up??

I feel so tired and bored. Boredom is never good for me. My thoughts and mood go to a dark place. I am trying to avoid that place but I'm not sure I can. I wish it was January already

Why January? Watch a movie, play a game?

Good question. I have no idea why January. Being honest nothing will be different then.

Yah I'll watch a film later. Bought a couple of dvds today. I might take a small nap first. I have no idea why I am so tired. Maybe it's all the junk food

Felt a bit restless earlier. Like cabin fever or something. I had to get out so I just took a 5 minute drive around the block. Usually I'm grand with being at home for days at a time. I'm a shutin for Christ sake.

Things can change from January 1st, it is a clean slate of sorts.

I think for me is that my usual routine is thrown out a bit. I get down if I don't keep active during the day. Also I feel like everyone else is out having a great time with friends and are happy relationships. And I am here on my own again.

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day. I'd rather set targets for the whole year rather than start everything straight away, sure to end in disaster and indeed nothing getting done.
