christmas deppression

I used to work in a hospital and psych wards, and the morgue was always busy at this time of year. People feel more alone if they have little to show for their lives. The smallest things turn out to be bigger then one would believe.

The stress levels are near the breaking point. The family arguments that have to be faced start to cause problems, drinking gets heavier to ease the pain. The world is set up to celebrate xmas with family, but if you have no family or do not want to face them or a family argument ... takes a toll on a person.

It sucks but statistics show that the suicide rate spikes at this time of year.
