Holiday Depression and Suicide Rates and Helpers

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS, OVER THE HILLS TO GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE WE GO, JINGLE BELLS, I'M DREAMING OF A WHILE CHIRSTMAS, FAMILY VACATION-


Stores, Glitter, Lights, Toys, Displays ,Trees, Parties, Gifts Cards, Family Dinner, People Everywhere with big smiles and places to go and Santas saying HO HO HO!!! Jingle Bells-Sleigh Rides, Food Technolgy and Technolgy Gifts, I phones and Camera and Pads-
Money Money Money-Stores-Laughing-Smiling-Rushing-Visas
      Happy Holidays

But are they so happy for everyone?What if you didn't have family???What if you were alone???What if you had all of the above but little money in the bankWhat if you had lost someone that year???-or had lost everyone that was called a friend???-What if you were depressed for reasons no one understood???What if you lived on the streets in a car or on your feet with children and no gifts???What if you had everything but were depressed and thought you were alone???

Why is Christmas High for the Suicide
If you are al
You can read to the elderly
Get a stray animal
Know that you are not alone and some of those who look merry and together feel like you   -that even some of the happist are not happy- no one is happy all the time. 

Volunteer to work Christmas Day-Help at a soup kitchen 
play with lonely animals at a shelter 
adopt one of them
Take a long car ride and take pictures
Read to the elderly
Go to a movie or check one out
Do a Crossword Puzzle
Feed the birds or decorate a tree outside with popcorn
Take blankets and snacks to the homeless
do a puzzle -light a candle-read a great book staying in bed all day while snacking ...Go to a church service- 
Call a hotline -Call a friend- Have friends like you over-

Know that many smile and laugh but don't feel that way on the inside- Read the Bible-it's fascinating-
Oh and do a book on tape- while baking a turkey...

You can have a good time alone or it's allright to cry-Do one thing you have always wanted to do-
Praying helps a lot-



Eat a MEAL OUT     

Blessings-YOU ARE SOMEBODY WHO COUNTS...You are not alone-

Blessings to you-Go get em-
