The Paradox of Holidays, or How to Feel Better when You're Hiding in the Bathroom.
For all the emphasis on celebration and family bonding and traditions - which can be very nice, don’t get me wrong - there is often an undercurrent of mixed emotions.
Group Therapy Helps You Grow Into Who You’re Truly Meant to Be
Group therapy provides the opportunity to hear other people talk about their experience with issues you might also be going through. This can normalize what you’re struggling with, helping you feel less alone. Research shows that group therapy can be just as effective as individual therapy, particularly because they provide social support and reduce stigma, isolation, and feelings of alienation.

When in Doubt, Sleep!
I’ve been reading a book called Why We Sleep (2017) by the neuroscience and psychology professor Matthew Walker. His data and insights about how sleep impacts our health and well-being is motivating to me. I’ve definitely been giving myself more sleep opportunity (time spent in bed each night, ready to sleep) and I have noticed a daily improvement in my focus, energy and resilience. I like it! If sleep were a medication, Walker quips, we’d all want it.

Maybe you should talk to someone - How therapy helps
Talking to a trained professional who won’t judge you for what you’ve done or how you feel might be exactly what you need to get unstuck. Therapy is different from friendship. A therapist listens to your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without any requirement for you to listen to theirs. They also have no agenda—because they have no relationship with you outside of therapy sessions.
