Sorry to hear that you're lonely.

I've been going through relationships issues with my b/f over the past month. For a while I really convinced myself that he was going to leave me, and during that time I bawled my eyes out for weeks. I didn't want to be alone. I wanted to be, and stay, with him because I love him so, so much. And even though he's NOT going to break up with me and we're starting up again slowly, I still know where you're coming from. The pain from being alone is just as bad as the pain from the fear of losing what you have.

From my experience, it really helps to hang out around people who love you, even if it's your parents. Sounds corny, but it worked for me. I reached such a low that I barely ate and hung out with my parents for a lot of the time because I couldn't bear to be alone. Not like I have a strong relationship with them, either. It's not bad, but it's not perfect. But still, for some reason, being in their company helped me take my mind off my b/f. And it was nice at times. I feel as if I did get closer with them.

Also, don't be fooled when you see couples. Not to sound like a downer, but not everyone in a relationship is happy. True, some people are happy in their relationships, but there are some who aren't.

Don't worry. V-Day will come and go before you know it. Just keep yourself busy and in the company of others. Anything that will distract you. Just don't sit home and let yourself dwell on this. Good luck!
