Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

I call this Global Family Holiday: Christmas season in America. It’s also Consumerist Culture Reinforcement Day. And maybe Nonpracticing Christian Get On The Bandwagon Day.

As an adult orphan with no biological family, I’m kinda over it. I have managed to make it to Christmas eve without having listened to any Christmas music, nor watched any Christmas movies. Joy to myself.

Where can adult orphans without any bio family hide? Can we have a conference someplace tropical and with clear blue water beaches to escape the madness? We can call it Solidays Island—as in solo holidays—get it?

Aye. Just make it end already.

As I mentally prepare for this year's festivities with my family, I wanted to check in both with myself and with my Mighty family on what we're saying "no" and "yes" to in the next two weeks. Let's list our boundaries and what we are accepting.

I'll go first!

🚫 I'm saying "no" to feeling responsible for how other people feel and overextending my energy till I'm exhausted.

✅ I'm saying "yes" to allowing myself to feel excited and loved. It's OK for me to embrace my positive emotions.

But that doesn’t make it less worthwhile or valuable.

In fact, sometimes, the most valuable, meaningful life experiences happen in these kinds of situations and moments, and to people who humble themselves to really sit in and find what to appreciate during such experiences
