By far my least favorite day of the year

[unhappycamper80]

Goes without saying, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way.

A day to be thankful for things, when there's nothing to be thankful for

And being forced, if you have family, into associating with normies who will never understand your pain and you have to hide it.

I don't even want to go to my sister's house today which is what I typically do.. was also invited to another family function.

Love my relatives, but nobody wants to see anyone doing better than you, and they are doing better than me since they are happy and content and are celebrating.

I really hate most holidays now but this one is especially associated with family and normalcy and food and travel and all things I don't or can't have anymore. It's really brutal with my chronic and mental illnesses these days. Holidays remind me of everything I've lost and I have to hear about my family spending time without me and seeing friends doing fun things. It was hard even when I was less sick but I was still part of it.
