Discussion How do you feel spending the holiday season (Xmas and New Year's Eve) on SaSu?

[Praestat_Mori]

^ Title!

As I have not much else to do anyway I probably would spend my time mostly online in communities anyway. From that POV there's not so much difference to me than to any other days of the year.

How about you? Share if you like!

 

[Thisisnotaname]

Mostly finish to watch shows in my list and spam here

Watching YouTube mostly. Vlogs, dj sets, and the likes.

I feel weird, I'm also at work mostly and it's hard to try to act normal with all the happy Christmas loving people around me. So in a way it's nice to search through forum during down time to take my head away from the holiday spirit which I seem to like this year even less than other times. Yeah, I'm a miserable grinch and feel loneliness more than usually.

 

[ms_beaverhousen]

Considering what fate lies before me, I feel far less (let's just say) negative and self-conscious about it.

 

[Loser1989]

Comforted. It's nice to know I'm not alone in my feelings.

 

[Silent_cries]

Same as @Loser1989 but It's also a nice way for me to get a break from the xmasy stuff around me for sure!

 

[NoPoint2Life]

Last year I was just a lurker and coming off treatment so I stayed away for several months, including the holiday season.
I have now been on every single day since I joined. I was already thinking it was going to be kind of weird to go on Christmas Day but I know I will and I may have extra venting that day. It's comforting.

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

I'll be here, and happy about it (would've been miserable otherwise)

 

[Forever Sleep]

It's going to be nice to have some company. Bah humbug Christmas everyone!

I havent even put any decorations up this year lmao. I've also avoided the thaw of Mariah Carey. Ask me my secrets

Currnt Xmas wll b xms no4 fr slf on sasu

 

[astr4]

i'd rather be talking with you guys than festive people irl.

 

[cait_sith]

I'm playing Astro bot, great game.

 

[dontwakemeup]

It's sad but comforting to know I'll be around orhers who feel the same as I. Of course I'll be constantly taking sleeping pills, so when I'm up I'll be on. I just hope I can sleep the whole night on those days.

 

[LostLily]

Glad that I found people who understand me

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I'm indifferent. To me, christmas is the same as any other day of the year. I don't really value it the way others value it. Actually, I don't even value it at all

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I don't think any day is different from another. Because they say it it's a holiday means nothing

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Will definitely be on and off here throughout the entire day in between various games I have been playing. It's definitely not the same as spending time with family, yet in a surreal kinda way it is similar, because I can be in a comfortable place where people care and understand. Love ya all!

 

[Red Moon]

It doesn't feel like Christmas and it's the same shit for me throughout the year and it's like any other day for me.

I'll still check SS tomorrow though.

 

[ConfusedClouds]

Seeing this thread has confused me. Doesn't take much(!) Was going to try force myself to stay off here the next couple of days. Can feel over-needy unnecessary irrelevant posting too much when I feel the isolation biting. And I realise my attempts at English (despite being my only fluent language) are getting worse and worse. I freeze and lose words verbally when stressed but my typed posts are making less and less sense now. So need to avoid the risk of vent posts where I ramble and make zero sense and don't portray any points usually out of attention seeking and/or boredom.

What am I trying to say? I was going to actively avoid sasu, but seeing this thread has made me think maybe it might actually be a comforting place to see tomorrow. Maybe try stick to lurking rather than trying to post. Definitely no venting from me.

Honestly I'm kind of bitter about my Muslim upbringing (in a Western country) because of this; I love winter and all the trappings of Christmas but have no connection to it or established traditions.

 

[yowai]

Shitty cause I realized some people here might enjoy reading about my misery

 

[FinalVoid25]

Its more comfortable than meeting someone in real-life, I hate how much people enjoy this nonsense holiday stuff. My family always expects me to participate and gift people stuff, and I dont even want to receive any myself, because I hate the concept that everyone suddenly has to spend money for christmas, why tf we doing this?

 

[LittleJem]

Christmas: was extra miserable then spoke to an amazing Samaritan and got over it. Well new med I got off crackhead housemate/fellow inmate is enabling me to get out of bed and function. Early day four. I was bed bound before so …

But here I am with insomnia and headache. The med I am on now is meant to make you sleep but occasionally causes insomnia. Or another med I have halved can cause insomnia in withdrawal.

I seem to have hijacked this for a vent thread and I think what I mean is this is where I belong and what I feel. I survived another day of pointless existence. Whether that is a random day or festive day.
Another Day of Pointless Existence. I identify with Eeyore and this has to be Eeyore. Am stoned now to try and sleep hence a the typing.

 

[bleeding_heart_show]

There is no shame in it.

I spent last christmas morning here because I could not handle the stress and obscuration of reality I was experiencing. I had several breakdowns (for lack of a better term) around that time.

Nowadays I come here because I hope to speak with others that I feel some sort of similarity to. I experience very little desire to interact with anyone outside of the internet because their physical presence obscures most of the aspects of communication that make sense/appeal to me.

That is enough out of me. I am getting off topic and communication is futile anyways.
