Read this piece by Heather Armstrong. If you are someone, or you know someone, who is feeling down and keeping it a secret because you are afraid of what someone else will think, don't be afraid. Pick up a phone and begin to find help.
I know what it feels like to contemplate whether the world would be better off without me, and I never imagined then that it would all change and I would have this much fun and love and laughter down the road.
During the holidays, it's too easy to create artificial standards for ourselves about how things should be, and how we should be, and those "shoulds" can seem like impossible walls to climb. No matter where you are today, no matter how bad you feel, you can begin to change things.
It's going to be ok.
