Same boat. Remember that Christmastime is actually one of the most stressful seasons, if you're not a privileged child. Maybe even then, looking at my kid. Expect a little bit less, go easy on yourself, choose less drinking whenever you can, and remember it's temporary.
Drinking is a big one for me lately. I'm fully aware of all my priviliges in life, they are kind of another source of me feeling like crap. I know that there are people out there managing, doing the best they can in far worse situations than the one I'm in.
I'm just waiting for all of this to go away and see that new day arrive.
