And you're thinking that you need to be uplifting at Christmas? You know that suicide rates increase at Xmas, right? The hype and the reality of what the season means can be quite far apart here.
"And yeah, Snow — suicide rates go way up between Thanksgiving and Christmas in the US."
I was surprised that Canada would have a lower increase (as you seemed to imply), so I looked briefly for the difference in seasonal suicide rates in the US versus Canada, but didn't have the time to look long enough. I did note that the overall rate is higher in Canada (where it is the 7th leading cause of death) versus in the US, where it is tenth. Why is the rate higher in your country, do you think?
I've been posting about rather introspective stuff over at my place, and I think my commentors must think I'm on the verge of slitting my wrists and bleeding out...
Just some random info that may put a spark in your dark thoughts. I just saw Flashdance for the first time and it makes me want to be dancing like I have never danced before. hehe
Sorry to hear that your Christmas hasn't been just as happy as it maybe should be but hopefully it's okay. Here's wishing you, Hunter and your family a really Merry Christmas, hopefully you get all you wanted.
Pssssssst! Go where I go...back to your memories of when your kids laughter and glee filled the house and your heart. It will get you through this time of year.. Works for moi. I shit you not! ;0) (((hugs)))Pat
