The holidays are getting to me. I see my siblings with their significant others and children decorating for the holidays and I have to say I envy them a bit. I'm just lonely, depressed, and ready to settle down. It kind of feels like a lingering empty space following me around. Anyone else feel this way? Not that I wish this feeling on anyone, but I don't want to feel alone in this loneliness!

Hi OurLadysTears,
I am in my thirties. I also don't interact as much with other people. However, I am slowly but surely changing this. I believe you can too. I can relate with the longing to find Mr. Right, the loneliness, the sorrow, and the emptiness. Though I realize that I am not ready to enter a relationship of that nature yet. Reading spiritual and inspirational books and walking outdoors have helped me enormously to get out of a major depression and suicidal thoughts.
Each person is unique, and some coping strategies work better for some people than others. I hope that you find something that helps you in the best way possible.
