Holidays serve as a point of reference. It is difficult if not impossible to pass through the holidays without some sort of review of our lives. Such reviews are often comforting, but they also unavoidably remind us of chronically endured pain. While we may wish that the holidays were a time of unadulterated celebration, we often find our coping mechanisms tested to the highest degree. Share in the experience of our authors, and let their words of advice and related experience help you cope with whatever comes up in your life as you celebrate the winter holidays.
Holidays are at once warm, wonderful, and extremely stressful.
Check out our Stress message board to post questions about the pressure you're feeling and get others' suggestions, or simply to vent your personal holiday horror story. Whether you're worried about gaining weight or are looking for a quick hangover cure, post questions about your health concerns anonymously on our Health message board. Unfortunately, that gathering can sometimes strain relationships to the breaking point. Ask for some advice on our Relationships message board. They're some of the best parts of the holidays.
