Christmas can sometimes feel overwhelming when you have ADHD.

The pressure to plan, shop, socialise and remember everything can leave you feeling exhausted before the big day even arrives.
You are not lazy.
You are not difficult.
You are overstimulated.
Small changes can make Christmas feel calmer and more manageable.

There are the lists, the sales, the budgets, the remembering who needs what, the wrapping, the school events, the traditions, the emotional labor of trying to make everything feel special. And that’s layered on top of the everyday load you already carry.

And when you are stretched this thin, it often shows up in ways you do not want it to. Feeling snippy or short with the kids. Having less patience than usual. Feeling overstimulated or on edge. Struggling to stay present because your mind is already on the next thing. These are not signs that you are doing anything wrong. They are signs that you are stretched beyond your capacity.

If the holiday pressure is feeling heavy, therapy can help you make sense of the overwhelm, create more realistic rhythms, and find support instead of carrying it all yourself.

On December 6th, we remember the 14 young women murdered at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal thirty-six years ago. Their lives were taken because of their gender and we honour them by recognizing the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

The Municipality of Kincardine’s flags fly at half-mast in their memory and in honour of all those lost to gender-based violence. December 6th is also a call to action as part of the global 16 Days campaign encouraging us to learn, speak up, and help create safer communities.

If you or someone you know needs support, the Women's House Serving Bruce & Grey offers a 24 hour confidential line at 519-396-9655 or toll free at 1-800-265-3026.

Together, we can make a difference.

SSCC Toy Drive is under way until December 12th. Toys are collected at volunteer locations listed here. Check our list daily as more locations may be added. Once all toys are collected our local school contacts will retrieve the amount that each school needs the week of December 15th. Any surplus will then be distributed to other Toy Drives or charities also working on similar initiatives.
Contact the Chamber for a beautiful location poster - 559 Goderich Street, Port Elgin. 519-389-1881.
