Let me get this off my chest. Christmas Eve is a bit of a trigger for me.
Last year we lost contact with our daughter during Christmas eve. I drove down to her in the evening and found her in her flat unconscious and barely responsive - she'd taken a huge overdose of anti-psychotics.
The year went on with attempted drownings, ligatures, overdoses and major self harm through fasting and cutting.
All the while the professionals were saying "people with personality disorders do this all the time - don't worry, she won't /actually/ kill herself."
In September she jumped from a motorway bridge breaking her spine, pelvis and sternum.
She's since opened up about major abuse during her marriage.
She's also starting to make great progress in both her physical and mental health.
Long may it continue, but bear with me if I'm not a jolly holly berry today.
The new year will be more joyful.
