I seek respite from loneliness in my computer as well. Unfortunately since 'real' contacts with other people (actual conversation as opposed to a like or brief comment on a Facebook status) are far and few between, the internet becomes a place where lonlieness breeds rather then providing sanctuary. For me it helps to get out if I can, and if I cannot, being productive around the house helps. I am aware of this, yet I still allow myself to be sucked into the computer when I'm lonely.
