Tis The Season
Feeling festive this holiday? Smiling sweetly with visions of sugar plums dancing in your head? Inspired to spread the goodwill of men for peace on Earth?
No? You're not alone. Yes, kids, 'tis the season.
Suicide season.
If I were a real reporter instead of a mere blogger I would cite sources but I'm not so you'll have to follow your good sense to know that while endless repetition of Christmas fare such as It's a Wonderful Life that merely make most of us gag make some people want to hang themselves.
Seems all the bright lights and bustling commerce that mark this time of year for retailers also means booming business for psychiatrists. We're supposed to feel so lucky, so blessed and so wonderful now that if we don't whatever we feel instead feels worse.
Merry Christmas!
