Holidays have come and gone and I am just feeling out of sorts. I was a wreck after my daughter and her fiancé left yesterday to go back home.

Before the holidays I starting feeling my age (sister passed from COVID and another sister diagnosed with Non-hodgkins lymphoma) I've scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist to check out some spots I am wondering about because my family has various type of cancer running rampant through it.

To make matters worse I was scammed out of $550 on a vintage LV bag. I am beginning to hate the holidays.

This post probably makes no sense but sometimes it helps just to get it out.
 
Big hugs to you. I hope there are brighter days ahead that lift your mood. Post-Christmas definitely brings on the January Blues.
 
@autumngems Sorry to hear about your sisters and are feeling blah. Can you go outside for a walk, maybe think about a few things you are grateful for?
 
I’m sorry @autumngems. Losing a sister is hard and having another sister being diagnosed with a serious illness is also hard. That’s a lot to deal with in a short amount of time. Please be kind to yourself. The daily stress of living with Covid alone has caused many people to feel this way. I hope you feel better soon.
 
autumngems i'm so sorry for your loss and wish your sister a speedy recovery. i always have year-end blues, ever since i was a kid - sending healing & comforting thoughts your way.
 
I am so sorry @autumngems. The LV scam is a real bummer. I felt the same as you after my daughter and family left on Christmas Eve, and even worse when I found out that would be the last we got to see them this trip. I can't seem to get myself to take the decorations down yet. They seem happy and I am not ready to give that up yet.

Big hugs to you and wishes and prayer for your family and that you get a clean bill of health.
 
@autumngems I‘m so sorry about the loss of your sister...and your other sister’s illness. Being scammed is just one more thing that can tip anyone over. You have had a lot to deal with at once. I think it’s a really good idea to get a checkup with the doctor. It will give you peace of mind that you are okay. I understand it when you say you are feeling your age....It stinks...I’m missing my children and grandchildren. Covid makes everything worse. Big hugs...
 
It’s understandable you’re feeling like this, you’ve suffered a terrible loss, and you’re worrying about your other sister, and potential health problems yourself. To top if off, some scumbag has ripped you off too, all in all, last year has been a complete pile of **** Missing your family and not knowing when you’ll see them again is adding to your heartache. It’s hard trying to feel positive about anything at the moment, but things will change, we’ve just to hang on and wait for it to happen.
 
My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your sister and your other sister being ill. This must be so hard for you. And when you are looking for some positive energy a loser scams you on the LV bag. I truly hope the scammer gets back all that he/she has given in life.

I don't know if this will help you. I realized I might not live to the average age in the US when I started to go through this stage of Ego Integrity vs dispair at 50 years old. But it truly explained how I feel at this point in my life.

Erikson's Stages of Development

Erikson's theory outlines 8 stages of psychosocial development from infancy to late adulthood. At each stage, individuals face a conflict between two opposing states that shapes personality. Successfully resolving the conflicts leads to virtues like hope, will, purpose, and integrity. Failure...

Do what I do ... just say no to holidays.
It's bliss! :))

IMO holidays are MUCH ado about nothing.

Ouch
that's bad about the bag :(2

And im so sorry about your sisters :(2




But you guys need to move down below the equator
The Christmas holidays go on and on and one and the sun shines
 
I'm so sorry Autumngems, all of the things you went through with your sisters and the LV scam are HUGE, and you have every reason to be depressed, and not just feeling blah! Take care of yourself and allow yourself to grieve.
 
Im so sorry @autumngems . I think you have every right to be in a blah mood with the loss of your sister and your
other sister's diagnosis. Sometimes its hard to cope when everything hits at once. Take care of yourself and seek
help if you cant shake some of the mood after a while. I've been pushing Ashwagandha on Pricescope for a while.
It sort of takes the edge off. Might be worth a try.
 
I am sorry for the loss of your sister...this whole season has been a total downer, I was lucky and got to see my son, daughter in law and grand daughter but not my mom or sisters, they are too risky as they arent real good about doing what they should :(
 
Thank you all for the kind words, it really helps. Now on to deal with the bank trying to get my money back on the bag.

I am going to try and get out and go for a bike ride if it's warm enough today.
 
I’m so sorry about your sister. Sending you big hugs and many good wishes. May your other sister recover fully and may good health be yours.
 
I'm sorry for all of this, @autumngems. I hope your sister recovers and lives, illness free, for many years. And good luck with the bank - hopefully they'll do something helpful and you'll get your money back.

And I hope it's warm enough for you to get outside, for a ride and stir up some good endorphins! May today be a pinprick of bright light in the middle of a drab landscape in time.

Thinking of you today.
 
Best wishes and healing dust to your sister.

My condolences to you, loosing a sibling must be incredibly hard.

All this is enough to feel completely defeated even if it's not day 5 after 2020!!! Hugs


Pustules and plague and all'ehings seriously uncomfortable to the scammer!!! Beurrrrrk human scum!

Excellent idea...you should try to get out every day. Get whatever vitamin D from the Sun that you can. Doing things like hiking, walking,
biking, and just, in general, enjoying nature is called "grounding". Mentally good for the soul. Suppose to distract you from the uncomfortable
and bring you back in touch with your environment (give your brain a break from the sadness). Google it if you're interested.
