The time between Christmas and New Year is brutal.
The fake joy is over, the year isn't quite done yet, and everything you've been avoiding shows up at once.
Depression hits hard here.
Loneliness gets louder.
The pressure to "be grateful" feels insulting.
Nothing changed just because Christmas passed.
People struggle and die during this time not because they're weak, but because this stretch exposes how bad things really are... the bad in your life is exposed.
If you feel empty, numb, angry, or exhausted right now, that makes sense.
This time of year is isolating and heavy.
Not everyone is hopeful.
Not everyone is okay.
And pretending otherwise just makes it worse.
I hope this time ends me .
