mental health and the holidays
It’s that time of the year again, when we’re all supposed to be full of good cheer and unlimited joy.
I get it, I really do. And, with everything we’ve gone through this past year, we can certainly use a time to set aside differences and celebrate what we have in common and the values we hold dear.
For many of us, however, the holiday season is tough. There are pressures to overspend on gifts that may or may not bring momentary joy. We are expected to get together with family and others whom we rarely see at any other time of the year. And the days are getting shorter and the nights darker.
