Often such a  notoriously hard and lonely time of year for a great many people. Even when with others, we can still feel alone.
Perhaps the pressure that the season brings also can amplify feelings we have.

A really important time for us to nurture ourselves as much as we are able, perhaps in time reading a book, or having a walk in nature. Remembering many out there have the hardest time this time of year, for many different reasons.

My best wishes go out to everyone in the depression/christmas struggle boat.

Keep  Calm... It will soon be next year and things will be back on a somewhat more even keel that this immediate period of christmas new year brings.

I hope everyones day will be as happy and good as can be no matter how you spend it.

Hi, I'm finding this a difficult time too, always have. I feel it's not appropriate to discuss how I feel with people during this time.

Not really sure what to say, I'm new on here, just wanted to make contact.

I feel like the Grinch stole my Christmas. My "gifts" this year were a brand new Kidney stone, and a very suspicious breast lump!.
Thankfully I went onto Citalopram in September, which turned the lights on in my dark tunnel, but i"m still in the tunnel, and I now think I may be heading for the biggest crash ever.
I went to my GP, who gave me Codeine for the kidney stones, but it's not bad enough yet for a referral to the hospital, ans my urgent biopsy request must have got tangled up in the hospital Christmas parties.

For those who don't know my history, I had a major kidney stone attack just after my suicide attempt 4 years ago, both of which got seriously stuffed up by the hospital. And my sister died of breast cancer not long after.

So yes, thank you, I had a lovely relaxing Christmas, and I am looking forward to the New Year with eager anticipation! NOT!!!
