christmas is not the Most wonderful time of the year for Me
QEveryone seems to love this time of year, but I absolutely dread it. I don’t have a family and my friends are all busy with theirs. I spend the whole of December in tears and hate it all. What can I do?

aI am so sorry to hear this, but you are most definitely not alone. Many people dread the holidays and loneliness is a real issue. It sounds like you may be depressed and I urge you to see your doctor – many treatment options are available now, from medication to talking therapies. Local social and religious groups also run community activities over the Christmas period to help those without families, or you could try volunteering on Christmas Day itself.
