Does anyone else feel lonely over this holiday season? I feel I have to hide my emotions and act a certain way in order to be accepted by family or the people around me. It's hard to fake everything. There are some people in my life who don't know how to be supportive and positive. You can only fake feeling a certain way for so long around others. It's also hard struggling with loss, especially with limited support.

Also, I am wondering if anyone can relate to the feeling of being alone, even when you are around people? Sometimes being around others makes me feel even more lonely, and I am not sure why.

Basically, I'm wondering what are you trying to do to cope with loneliness or BP symptoms during this time of year?
