The holiday season is a prime time for stress for many.
Perhaps you’re lonely because you’re remembering happier times with family and friends who’ve passed on.
Rx for the “Holiday Blues” suggests: “Some degree of loneliness is normal during the holidays. There is nothing abnormal about having the ‘holiday blues,’ which are more like a mood than any sort of lasting condition. Depression, anxiety, and other psychological symptoms are associated with the holidays because this season brings back memories of a happier time in our lives. Plan a holiday where loneliness doesn’t dominate.”
