“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” so they say. However, for many people Christmas time can be a difficult time of the year, for all sorts of reasons. And the holiday season only magnifies and intensifies those difficulties.
Things going on in the outside world, and society's expectations, can make Christmas harder to cope with.
This might include:
- Financial pressures
- Social media hype
- Loneliness
- Grief
- Difficult relationships
- Pressure to enjoy
- Comparison (the thief of joy!)
Please don’t suffer alone. The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day throughout the Christmas period .
