So this is my last post for the next couple of days as it is Christmas Eve. A time for joy, family and happiness.
Sadly, not everyone experiences this at Christmas and for some, this time can be a dark and lonely time or a time when emotions such as depression can be heightened.
You may be one of those people. You may have come across this blog post by chance, or someone may have forwarded it to you to read.
Consider it fate.
I don't want you to feel alone this Christmas.
I don't want you to feel depressed or lonely.
If you feel that you have hit rock bottom and you feel empty inside, If you can see the lights twinkling in other peoples windows, hear the laughter of your neighbours and yet you experience no joy, as if the world is a dark place in which you see no place for yourself any more.
Or if you feel that you are ready to make a change.
I want you to pick up the phone......................
