Christmas Loungeroom

Christmas Loungeroom

For all those who are both celebrating and avoiding Christmas this year the Chistmas Loungeroom is a place for us all to hang out. It is especially for those who will be alone throughout this Christmas period and as a place to come together and enjoy the company of others in what can be a difficult time for many.

Feel free to post your stories, images, grievances, etc. of this period and to leave messages for other members to help each other get through this time of year.

Christmas day can be extra hard for some so this is a place for us all to get together on the day and share it with other members.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Thank you @MDT, how is your day going? Mine is very quiet. I am thinking about doing housework to stop myself from thinking about things. I got a job 3 weeks ago and I'm scared I'm gonna lose it because I'm not good enough. I'm on antipsychotic medication and they have made me mentally slow and it's affecting my work. I'm expecting my boss to ring me and tell me I'm fired😔

You are right @TAB, I guess it's not so bad. We have our forum family close by, so we are not alone😊xx

Hey @Schitzo
3 weeks is a while for the meds to get used to. I remember I was on the same type and it can take getting used to.

Distraction is a good idea though. Maybe turn off tv and social media and just be your own human. I did that this morning. Its much better I think. You don't get caught up in thought bubbles. I take in the info I need and then that's all.

For example I listened to the coronavirus update for 5 mins and that was all I needed. Nothing more.

Housework would be a good way to tune out i reckon
