It sounds like we are not alone in our struggles to get through the holiday storm.The holidays sometimes feel like a whirlwind of happy (when your ahead of the game shopping,visiting, planning and preparing);only to realize that its only now 5 days til the big day whatever that is. In my life we’re a family of 4 people with Adhd: myself husband and 2 kids & it can be overwhelming.To make things less stressful weve taken on the new motto that “Less Is Less” we have cut back on trying to make every single work,family& friends function and cut back on buying endless gifts for people who have everything and would really prefer spending time together.This was a much better holiday for us.We got to the gathegings we could manage while still having our bearings.we stayed as long as we were still having fun.we played more games and visited more. We scaled back on gifts and brought a bunch of necessities to the homeless shelter.More enjoyment was had by not buying into the whole commercial Christmas BS. We chose to put less on our plates mentally so we could enjoy our family time. This is my first post.It’s nice to hear about everyone elses journey.Best wishes to everyone!
