3 Introduction It can seem that everyone around us is having a great time at Christmas and New Year, but it can be a really hard time for many of us. There is extra stress around this time of year. For example, worrying about money, seeing family, heating the house, or going out where there is a lot of drinking. This guide brings together a range of support and services that are here to help. Health in Mind provides a range of services to help people live the way they want to live. Our Midlothian services include: Art Therapy Befriending CLEAR - peer support for people with addictions Guided Self Help Orchard Centre services - includes one to one support, over 30 groups, and crisis support on the phone MidSpace.co.uk - online information about keeping well in Midlothian SHARE - group support for men For more information call or reception@orchardcentreservices.org.uk 3
4 Keeping well Here are some ways that people keep well at Christmas. These are just a few things that people have told us help them. Different things work for different people. I try to keep in my normal routine as much as possible. I try to remember it s only a couple of days and things will be back to normal soon. I go out for a walk when family life is getting too much for me. I get a new book out of the library because I know that there will be nothing on TV that I want to watch. I used to feel like I had to take part in Christmas and New Year. But now, they are just ordinary days for me and that s much easier. 4
5 10 tips for getting through Christmas 1. Make sure you have enough medication to cover the time when the Doctor and Chemist are closed. 2. Work out a budget and stick to it. 3. Think about little things you can do each day to keep you well, for example, a nice warm bath or wrapping up and spending time outside. 4. Plan out meals so that you have enough food in the house to cover the days when the shops are closed. 5. Plan a routine and follow it each day. 6. Try to be honest with family and friends if things are feeling overwhelming. 7. Remember it s OK to cancel plans if you don t feel up to going out. 8. Talk to your support worker, or people who support you, about how you will cope with Christmas now. 9. Try not to compare yourself and your Christmas to those you see on TV or on social media. You are not alone in finding things hard. 10. If things get too much, talk to someone 5
