Ahhhh! There’s snow! There are Christmas decorations everywhere you look! Everyone is in Christmas mode?
Me? I just don’t feel it. I’m too tired and only thinking about my mom. I suppose this will be my life now. Oh dear.
I’m left with very little time for myself, especially after a long day. Any suggestions?

Me either. I’m just not feeling it yet this year. I might not even put the tree up.
I don’t have any advice to give because I haven’t had to manage the stress you must be experiencing right now. I saw my mother go through that with my grandmother and I guess I do want to reassure you that it does get easier, although I don’t know if it will help you feel any better now. When I’m feeling drained and overwhelmed, actually formally scheduling in time for myself works really well for me. I have to remind myself to treat it like a thing I have to do, just like anything else, but I do manage to often take care of myself.
Practice some self care. You have to find time even if it is just a few minutes and recharge. Make dates for yourself and keep them. Do little things you like.
Meditation helps me a lot with stress! P.S. Wow it snowed where you live in November? We got our first snowfall two days ago!
