Is Christmas time bad for those who are having a bad time? I have some friends who have a rough time around this time of year. What are your thoughts?

In some respects, Christmas time can be a difficult time for those who are having a hard time, especially for those who are feeling lonely or depressed. Many people associate Christmas time with gatherings of friends and family, and the reminders of happier times with people can be hard to bear if one is experiencing difficulty in their own life. It can be overwhelming to face such sadness during a time that is typically associated with joy and celebration. In order to help manage these difficult feelings, try to stay busy and productive, limit your social media intake, and if you are struggling, seek professional support or talk to someone you trust. Doing so can make Christmas time seem just a little bit brighter.
