I do understand this. Im not autistic but these feelings are a lot to deal with. This Christmas I decided to really enjoy Christmas movies and music. I have not been this poor since my children were babies. With some creativity things usually do work out. I decided to accept my situations and take enjoyment in the small things. I am taking things one day at a time. Worrying about the future is only making me miserable today. Which is not doing me any good. I hope you can find some relaxing and peace today! Take care my friend!!!

Thank you Annie heart. That’s good advice. Getting it off my chest helps. I think the stress was affecting my sleep because the last few nights I keep having bad dreams.

I feel this way at times too. I'm going to take your advice, "accept my situations and take enjoyment in the small things."

I don't really like chistmas too. I used to go to clubs and parties on chistmas. Everywhere will be close on chistmas. But I can chat on the computer.

I feel this way too sometimes and I'm not Autistic. One thing I have to remind myself is that the future provides anxiety, and the past is depression. I haven't mastered living in the moment.
And with the holidays, I'm gpingbto live in the moment enjoying the Xmas decorations and lights, and try to make the holidays a special time for my daughter. So she doesn't have to feel how we feel sometimes on how the year is coming to an end or life moving fast, or however we see it.

I also tend to get overwhelmed if I think and worry too far ahead. I think the best thing to do is as others have said... take it one day at a time and Goldie has the best idea of simply trying to enjoy and make the most of this special (Christmas) holiday spirit and all it has for us to enjoy.

Holidays I’ve found ways for them not to be stressful because I find if I’m stressed not only do I suffer my kids do as well as my husband I do not allow any drama to come into the holidays.

My son is 4 and my daughter is 9 and there growing to fast and will be outve there childhood before we know it so it’s important for it to be a great time to be around them and teach them what the holidays are supposed to be about.

I love helping out with my church around the holidays for people who are in need who have no where to go or have anyone to spend the holidays with and for those who can’t give there kids a great Christmas we have a thing with the church where we help those parents be able to give them a nice Christmas. The last 2 years I’ve had my daughter come and help out at the church so she can see she very fortunate as a child having what she needs and being able to do fun things as a child and is healthy where not all
Kids are as fortunate as she and her brother are.
