I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year but to be honest New Years does absolutely nothing for me.It is just another day to me. When I was a kid my parents use to have parties in there basement my brother and I were not allowed there. There was no drinking just a good old time. Who need to drink anyway. I did something once and I will never do this again I got drunk and I was so sick the next morning my mother was laughing at me, I had such a bad headache was sick to my stomach I never upchuck ,but still very sick so I swore if I ever drank again I would know my limit two glasses of a screwdriver were good enough for me,I when I got older went to my cousins Christmas party at her house,her husband was drunk and decided it was okay to put his dirty hands all over me so I immediately put a stop to that.You know what though New Years means nothing to me.They make to ,much of it.Even my husband hated it.Believe me I dont mind spending New Years eve alone.I do anyway . It is just a bore.Hey but if you like it that is fine.Please have a good day anyway.Hope we can all be anxiety free and free of depression to for at least one day.I wish it could be all year but we all know how that will turn out,love you all.God bless you my friends.

You are welcome,Do you do any thing?I remember one year when my mom had News Year eve supper ,my future husband and I were playing ping pong that night and when we got through it was 1am we didnt even realize that it was New Years.Now it just seems like New Years shouldnt be consider a holiday.To me and my besty dont even care about it.They make to much out of it.Plus my soap Days of our Lives isnt going to be on then.I am glad we have over 200 channels to pick from I am not a football fam.I love baseball and some hockey ,maybe a little ice skating which reminds me I had a cousin who was a professional ice skater she never won anything but she did to some teaching with learning how to iceskate. I could never do that.I could roller skate but ice skating no.

Happy New Year's xmas carol!
I don't go out much on New Year's Eve either. I am a little afraid to, because there are lots of drunk drivers on the road. I have never been drunk, but I am afraid one of them will crash into me. I'm not sure how I am spending New Year's this year. I have New Year's Day off but not New Year's Eve. |

I dislike Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) and New Year's Day. Always have done. I get so emotional. This year is different as I normally do the New Year Dook which is a Scottish thing. I jump in the sea for charity. But I'm not doing it this year. Undire of the plans for Hogmanay and New Year's Day. I'm going home 3rd Jan as it's a holiday on the 2nd in Scotland. I'm away to my parents house tonight until then.

Happy New Year! I'm sleeping on NYE so I can be awake early to depart for a backpacking trip on 1 Jan. I'm back and forth with how I feel about going, but I've been hired to be the guide for a group, so it's work. Interestingly, people always seem to open up to me with their deep thoughts on these trips. I sometimes feel like a therapist. It depends on my own mood whether or not I enjoy that kind of openness from a stranger. I think it's the environment. A few days walking in the wilderness is cleansing. Being away from city noise, electronics, and put of your normal element brings a lot of emotions to the surface. Most of the time, the people I take experience fear of being in an unfamiliar remote place...especially at night. I think because of my role in the group, I'm seen as the safe place to be.
I guess what I'm rambling on about is really that I'm not too sure I'm feeling up for being in that position right now. I've already made the commitment, so I'm going to need to get my **** together and be present. I've got time to get it together. |

Hope it’s a good year for everyone. I’ll be in pjs watching a movie, reading a book and probably not awake at midnight.

My local city used to have a first night celebration. I would go to the classical music shows. Unless it was really really cold. I remember the 2000 millennium celebration that I didn't go to. It was way too cold. I guess it's been cold in the past few years because the celebration has been canceled due to falling attendance. They blame it on the cold weather.

No years do nothing to me either. I don't know why I celebrate and what I celebrate.
They are indeed a bumer because everything stays the same and there is little chance of improvement. There it comes a bad year, similar to the one that went away. Thanks no thanks. I made my usualy happy face I evoque my nostalgic persona, but I mostly feel worry and fakeness, with a grain of sadness. And I even try to dance and show my relatives I care about them. But those happy new years feel like fake and come from a tired empty soul. A dizzy body with a headache. I barely feel happy, and not on new year for sure. |

But for years I wish my next year to be better and that my mental ilness went away and it never happened. Until I lost hope and my childish magical thinking.
