LESSONS IN ADULTHOOD
Perhaps it’s not officially recognised by doctors, but New Year Fear is real. It’s a rumbling anxiety that appears in December, generally linked to a deep worry that you haven’t achieved as much this year as you should have. I suffer from it doubly hard as, not only does my birthday fall on New Year’s Eve (nothing triggers life analysis like ageing, New Year and booze), but each year my girlfriends and I revisit ‘The Book’.
