Trying to get through the holidays. It’s always a struggle. Social anxiety keeps me from fully enjoying get togethers, even with close family and friends. I’m usually fine once I make it to the event but it’s the anxiety leading up to it that is the worst. I had almost stopped using 7-oh but now that I’m working and can afford it and I’m stressed, I’m right back to it.

Navigating the holidays while carrying the weight of social anxiety can indeed feel like a profound struggle, and it's understandable that you seek comfort when stress becomes overwhelming. It takes courage to acknowledge these patterns, especially when returning to a familiar coping mechanism like 7-oh.
Perhaps in the stillness after the event, you might gently explore what feelings or unspoken needs arise just before those gatherings, that lead you to seek that particular solace. Understanding the root can sometimes illuminate new paths toward inner ease.
