On the table is a mince pie and carrot, the sound of carol singers is in the distance, the snowman is built, and the presents are sitting under the tree. You can hear the sound of sleigh bells in the distance, and the patter of reindeer hooves along the rooftop (or is that just our imagination…?) Welcome to your virtual Christmas.
This thread is a space where you can support each other during the festive period. Sometimes it can feel like everywhere you turn you’re told that this is ‘the most wonderful time of the year’, yet for many people Christmas can feel like the opposite. If you are finding the holidays difficult, or you’re struggling, you are not the only one.
Remember that you’re not alone, and to be kind to yourself. As well as Talking Point which is available day and night, the Helpline is also here to offer support and a listening ear if you need to talk to someone directly. You can find out when the Helpline will be open over the Christmas and New Year period.
Please do post on the community if you need support during the holidays.
Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas,
Sophie, Harriet, Serena and Saun
