It's that time of year when it all gets too much for some.
Christmas is a lot of pressure to be perfect, happy, and have gorgeous families in matching PJs. Like no one is having a drunken argument, or feeling lonely, isolated, or missing someone.
Or children with no presents & parents and families worried about paying for everything. Stress, anxiety, fears. Feeling pressure to attend social events.
The Samaritans have a free number - 116 123 (UK), or you can email jo@samaritans.org. They are open and available to listen when you need it most, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Even Christmas Day. So please don't struggle alone, talk to someone, it can help.
