Not everyone will be celebrating tonight. Please spare a thought for those who struggle at this time of year.
Some of my Fab friends are spending their first Hogmanay without a loved one.
For some it will be the last Hogmanay their loved one will see.
Others haven’t seen family members due to divorce, separations, arguments, etc
If you know someone in these situations, make a New Years resolution to give them a call, meet for a coffee and offer them some support.
We can all be kinder to each other and be mindful of our mental health in 2019. |

Couldnt agree more fi (if I knew how to put a heart emoji on here I would) supporting some friends who need it and receiving support from friends where I need it.
None of us get through life without some help.
Its ok not to be ok. |

This is the first year my pal has been single. Think she's feeling it a bit to be honest. Made sure she's went to her mums. She was going to stay in herself. Sitting in feeling sorry for yourself does no one any favours x |

Nice message there. Having lost a close family member this year I can relate all too well with this post but thankfully best friend and his wife have made sure I don't slip into my darker places over the festive period. |

So very true. A lot of people forget. It's also okay to *want/need to be on your own to take a breather and have some headspace. A lot of people neglect that too. The soul needs fed and to recouperate. Xx |

"Also I think just after the bells we all should pour a drink and toast to all the loved ones and friends that we have lost this year ."
Yeah...let's get all maudlin. It's tradition |

Totally agree with you. We are all different.
We have to listen more to what others need and not what we think they need.

"For me it's not been a good year and even in a month and a half spell I've lost 6 people, 1 was my father and another was a 21 year old lad where I tried to administer CPR, been hard but can't be down about it as his parents must be in a worse state this Xmas and new year  . All I can do is try and be positive and hope it rubs off on others
My first bells without my kids so they will be out at parties, bitty sad but I'm so happy for them doing their own thing without me  . I have a couple of elderly neighbours so I'll prob chap their door n first foot them if they are alone to make sure they are OK "
You're right Peter. Difficult year too here but ya got to focus on da light 
And I know how you feel about the kids growing up and away partying Am happy for my laddie because I know he will have the best of times and mega jealous am no 18 again lol
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year Peter x |

It's not nice being alone at any time of year but it's harder when it's at Xmas and New Year. Everyone's circumstances are different and I for one will be alone just because of how things have worked out. However I always spare a thought for people who are homeless and are struggling. We need to remember there are some people who don't have the home comforts that we have got  x |

As a wee aside can I just mention that if you plan on dropping in on someone just because they're going to be on their own, maybe check first if it's okay to do that |

This is me entering my first new year where my mum is not here anymore. Since she died I have battled not falling into depression. Most of my friends remind me life is for living. This is the one and only shot we get, its not a practice shot, if we don’t do it today tomorrow might be to late. Im glad I will be spending tonight with people and I suspect I will need a wee moment myself after the bells ?? |

I know exactly how it feels. It’s an emotional one for me too. Thankfully I’ve finally managed to go out tonight. I was dreading as I knew I’d get emotional & stuff.
I completely agree xxxx
Hope everyone has a good night & into next year |
