I feel like such a horrible fuckin friend but i honestly just want to self isolate until January and go MIA …. I’m broke and can’t afford gifts for no one but my friends still want to give me gifts, I feel selfish and self centered.

maybe just tell them youll feel bad if they get u gifts and that you’re low on money, i don’t really feel like that’s dumping your problems on people. and just tell them you’re gonna be to yourself till january to work on your mental health, i think they’d appreciate the communication since you wouldn’t be going ghost. and if they’re your friends, they should understand and respect that you’re not mentally in a great place and need some time

I have no one to talk to bc I don’t wanna rain on anyone’s parade, like one is in their first year of college, has a new man and new friends and I don’t wanna just go and complain about my problems, one just got a new job, and one is on a “my life is great” kick and one is excited about the fact that it’s Christmas season. I feel so shitty for just wanting to be alone 24/7 bc it sounds attention seeking( FOR ME TO DO IT NOT FOR OTHER PEOPLE) … Idk … I’m stressed , lonely and lost …

i get feeling bad but if it’s impacting your mental health then it’s probably better to just talk to them. sometimes you need to prioritize yourself. you’ll be able to show up for others better too if you take care of your mental health
