Feeling Lonely

[Kayannaboo]

I'm honestly not doing too bad, I could even be ok but the loneliness is killing me. I feel alone all the time and so it's setting off the crying and the sad feelings. I just wish I had a friend to talk to and have girls day. I have a friend but now that things are good with her and het fiance she wants to spend her time with him, she doesn't want to spend time with me anymore then she blames it on me and said I don't ask her to spend time with me. WTF? I have to beg for time, I'm too vain for all that. I hate feeling pathetic and I don't think I need to beg anyone to spend time with me, it's either you want to or not.

So how are some ways I can shed the horrible lonely bits?

I know how you feel! I am always feeling lonely and it definitely doesnt help depression problems! We werent meant to be solitaire creatures...and its quite understandable when ones mood is effected from lack of socialization. If i was there i would definitely try to make you feel less alone!
Try to find some new friends! Im mot good at makkng new friends unfortunately so i cant tell you how to do that. All i know is be yourself! I think your a great caring  person and you seem like you would easily make friends..or find some things to keep you busy..so busy you wont have time to feel lonely! goodluck and i hope you get things sorted out and feel like the awesome person you are!

This may or may not sound weird to you, but I'll throw it out there anyways.  When my depression was at its worst, the lonely times were the worst, but at the same time.... that is where I wanted to be.  I wanted to be there to dwell on all of the garbage spinning around in my mind, and obviously it made matters worse.

Now, I truly do enjoy some of the "lonely" times.  It does a couple of things for me.  It allows me the opportunity to reflect on how things "are not that bad" and also allows me the opportunity to line up the days events.

Now, back to the heart of the question.  The lonely times.....  for me, getting out and about other people.  Just a walk sometimes will do.  Maybe its the people, maybe its the exercise... either way, you're kind of killing 2 birds with 1 stone.  Music...  I love it when I have the house to myself and I can listen to what I want to listen too, and as loud as I want it!!!!  Can you donate some of your time to a worthy cause, like a day care or hospital auxillary?  That can be so rewarding.

I'll offer this.... if we take a second and look at our lives, seldom is it as bad as it appears.  Relax a little.  Enjoy life....
