The Nightmare Before Christmas

Today Mya and K dish their holiday horror stories from Christmas "icks" to New Year’s Eve cheaters. The holidays can be stressful, overwhelming, and sometimes filled with grief. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 64% of individuals living with a mental illness felt that their conditions worsened around the holidays, so if you’re feeling symptoms rising, you’re not alone. Mya and K are sending you love, hoping their miserable holiday stories make you feel less alone, and that you’re laughing along with them!

Topics include:

  • How abusive relationships and mental health can worsen during the holidays
  • What abusive and unhealthy behaviors may look like during the holidays
  • Embarrassment, isolation, criticism, triggers
  • Holiday pressures and expectations with family and friends
  • Advice including boundaries and breakups (this is your sign?)
  • Remember to prioritize self-care <3
