Holiday stress/desperation thread

[Run To Me]

Holy F the holidays r back, my head is burstin with the tidings, the cheer of peace on earth that it is my duty to create and protect while keeping the usual wolverines (sickness, madness, financial ruin) under the big soft couch of denial

How do we deal with our holiday stress

Or

Why do we think we need to "deal" with it or do something about it why can't i just allow myself to feel this stress instead of being ashamed b/c "a better person" wouldn't let it get to theirselves

[yo soy el mejor]

i'm cool as a cucumber over here

[LaBelle]

I like the holidays, it's my favorite time of the year.

The only thing i'm bummed about is having to spend it away from my gf.

Holy shit I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHATS YOUR SECRET FOR STAY SO COOL AS CUCUMBER

[vixnix]

I keep feeling ragey. like, I haven't worked out in a month, that makes me ragey. my workout clothes are too tight for comfort, that makes me ragey. I keep eating bread and getting all bloated, that makes me ragey.

Christmas is just a kind of rage induction I don't need right now

But I do welcome the excuse to drink more than usual and not get up and clean up after my ungrateful family because "it's the holidays"

THANK YOU

Yes, when it gets especially intense I like to squeeze my little hands into fists, brux molars, and say "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

You guys could do with some good stress balls

[ilikeplanets]

my stress level is high but not because of holidays. the winter weather really bums me out. i like to stay indoors until spring.

my workout clothes also do not fit and there's nothing in this world i despise more than uncomfortably tight clothes. being chubby and naked is much nicer.

i'm only sad because i want to smoke pot but won't. I SAID I WON'T, OKAY???

[cork_soaker]

i cope by doing a bit of air travel

[cork_soaker]

ahhh

[FoolofaTook]

I want to yank out Santa's beard tuft by snow-white tuft and smash his jolly face in with reindeer antlers.

FUCK

[Shallowed]

Does anyone at all actually like Christmas?

[LaBelle]

I do.

[smashingjj]

According to Destiny's Child, there are seven days of christmas.

[ilikeplanets]

i thought it was 12? why is this so confusing??

I'm fine with the time off. I'm going to play guitar and video games, maybe while listening to Sunny Day Real Estate.

Money is tight so I haven't really bought any gifts...would if I could but I can't so I won't.

that looks like my breast forms! They're only B cups.

[FoolofaTook]

I was just joking.

I love Christmas. The lights and the carols and the stories of the Nativity. Beautiful lies.

Wish I could get stoned and listen to Isn't Anything.

[FoolofaTook]

But yeah I'm sure Varg is sulking somewhere plotting to burn down his neighbor's Bethlehem replicas.

Only? A cups are barely even boobs, huh? AND I HAD A CHILD T_T

[Ram27]

I loved it as a kid, but now it's kind of a pain. Went back home on Wednesday and being with my family is lowkey exhausting. Don't like having others dictate my schedule

[reprise85]

i actually am going to be with a friend and her kids for christmas. usually i do nothing, give nothing, and get nothing

[FoolofaTook]

Sounds like every day of my nihilistic nonexistance.

666

[Shallowed]

God is empty
Just like me

[FoolofaTook]

It's snowing here in the Vale and I'm finishing up The Left Hand of Darkness which is set on Gethen aka Winter which is a world right in the middle of an ice age where every year is a new year one (only the past and future years change as time poceeds through the Unitary Now) and I wish I could smoke a bowl to solemnify this perfectitude.

[ilikeplanets]

i wanna smoke so bad, i'm even whining about it to my baby's father is how bad i want to

[FoolofaTook]

SNOW
