8. Reach Out for Help if You Need It.The holidays can heighten feelings of loneliness or stress. Hotlines like The Trevor Project (866-488-7386) or a trusted therapist can provide support. Don’t hesitate. 🧡📞.

7. Have Affirming Reminders Handy.Whether it's a photo of you with friends, a positive affirmation, or a voice memo from someone who loves you—having these nearby can make tough moments easier. 🌈❤️.

6. Take Time for Yourself.Step outside for a walk, meditate, or watch that show you love. You deserve moments of joy and stillness. 🌳🧘‍♂️.

5. Nourish Your Body, Your Way.Eating during the holidays can bring up complicated feelings. Remember: food is fuel, not guilt. Treat yourself to what you enjoy and hydrate! 🍲💧.

4. Stay Connected to Your Chosen Family.Holiday isolation is real. Schedule time for FaceTime calls, text chains, or even a virtual movie night with your chosen family. Community matters. 💻❄️.

3. Plan an Exit Strategy.If tensions rise, it’s good to have an exit plan. Check in with a friend or keep a “rescue call” ready. Being prepared helps you feel in control. 🚗📱.

2. Create Your Safe Space.If you're with family, bring items that comfort you—like affirming books, your favorite playlist, or a cozy sweater. Little reminders of your identity and joy can be grounding. 🎧📚.

1. Set Boundaries.You don’t owe anyone your story or explanations. If family gatherings feel too intense, it’s okay to take breaks, say no, or leave early. Protecting your peace is priority #1. 🛑🧡.

The holidays can be joyful but also challenging for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Whether you're celebrating with family, chosen family, or solo, here are some tips to keep your mental and emotional health in check this season. 🧵👇.
