I am very aware that Christmas brings with it a high rate of suicides. Please, if you are down over the holidays, don't choose this option. No matter what you are feeling right now, you are an important part of the universe and very much needed here.
I especially want to tell those who are low because of gender issues that you are very loved, no matter what you have heard or what treatment you have received from bigots or from those in your family who cannot see you for the beautiful person you really are. You deserve to live and to have the chance to find love and acceptance. Please don't take away that right from yourself.
If you are in Manchester you can start your search for help at the LGF in Manchester.

I have Seasonally Affected Disorder, OCD Hoarding, Depression and Anxiety issues. I know how horrendously down this time of year can get people because I've been there myself. The black dog loves to come nipping at my heals at this time of the year, and I did ring the Samaritans on Boxing Day once.
In the UK dial 08457 90 90 90. In the Republic of Ireland dial 1850 60 90 90.
Or visit the Samaritans website for more info
If you are not in Britain, the Befrienders website tells of help available worldwide.
Stay safe and cling to hope. If you're alive something can always be done. Blessed Be.
