It's okay to feel lonely at Christmas #mentalhealth #holidayseason #christmas #managingemotions

Christmas can be a really hard and tough time of the year. It's a dedicated time to spend with family and even friends and is seen as a very connecting time. However some people feel very alone and lonely during the holidays and this can be extremely challenging and depressing time of the year especially when you feel like you're the only person with no one to spend quality time with. Even if you do have family and friends to spend your time with, it can be a very hard time too. People don't get along, they have arguments and/or you may be around them and still feel alone, lonely and disconnected. I'm here to say that you are not alone in your situation and that it's okay to feel alone and lonely. It may seem like everyone is happy but it's absolutely not the case.
