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?

Christmas time can be difficult for those who are already in a difficult situation. It can be a period of stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety, especially if it is combined with the sense of isolation of being alone or of feeling like being forgotten. We should remember that it is also a time of hope and joy, so taking steps to help yourself remain connected or make positive changes can be especially beneficial. Talking to family and friends, finding support groups, connecting with nature, or finding activities that bring positivity can all help make the season a little bit easier.
