    YES....of course it would.  You know what it would do to your family.  We all understand how hard Christmas is when you have problems with depression, it just magnifies everything.  But it's just one day, or a few days if you count all the associated stuff.  Mami.....no, you cannot do it, trust me, it would be SO wrong.

    Tell us why you need to do it, share with us, do anything, but no, to die now would be terribly wrong.

    Yes it definitely would.  Christmas can be a very bad time for folk with mental health issues and brings to a head issues like loneliness etc.   Wait and see how you feel once Christmas and the New Year are over.  I bet you will feel a bit better,  I know I do.   I and others will be in Christmas Day to support and help each other so come in please and we will do our best for you.   Lots of hugs.  xx

    Christmas brings aware of how we truly feel. I guess for us to see merriment in a way it echoes maybe what we desire, to feel happy/ or loved for those who are wanting that kind of human connection.

    I don't think you should give into 'echoes' at Christmas, do you really want to make a mark for others to see, I doubt it. I've read your posts and you seem like a good person. I hope you get some decent sleep and maybe when you wake you have a far better day than this one. Nick.

      I am sorry about your son Wayne. You wasn't to know what would happen to your son. Don't let guilt eat away at you I am sure your son doesn't want you to live with guilt. I locked my husband out of the house after a row and he walked down to the train lines and killed himself. I lived with guilt for many years but learnt to forgive myself. Just be there for and love your son.

    Thank you all for your replies, I really am trying to keep positive, honest.  Not just for me, but for my kids whom I love very much.  Don't think it's Christmas itself thats dragging me down at the moment, but have personal stuff going on which are quite difficult to deal with.  Feeling very weepy and low today, but please don't worry about me, I'll take things one day at a time and plod through somehow, as always!

    Merry Christmas to you all, hope you have a good one whatever your doing. xxx
