"It’s not always the merry, jolly season for everyone. From the pressure of picture-perfect festivities to the stress and burnout before the holidays, there are many reasons some of us might feel a bit isolated. Social anxiety, loss of loved ones, family conflicts, and big life changes can weigh heavily during this time. Other things like mental health challenges or simply feeling overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of the season can also add to that sense of being alone in a crowded room," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani.
