It's weird because I'm not alone, my hubby is here and I went for a walk with a friend today but I'm feeling empty and alone. I think I need to be around people or I go crazy. It's too late to shop, I'm dieting so I can't eat chocolate, I don't know what to do to get rid of this lonely feeling. Maybe I will try to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day - and I get to see people at church.

I hope you feel better soon, I'm really sorry you're in a very similar boat to mine, I empathize.

I feel like that sometimes too. I adopted a cat for that reason and she really helps a lot. I don't get to see people/friends that often since I'm nocturnal, so my cat gets all my attention lol.

You can still have chocolate, silly. Buy a bag of Hershey kisses and put them in the fridge. When you have a chocolate craving you can have one or two which isn't a lot of calories and putting them in the fridge makes them harder so they won't melt as fast

Thanks guys. It's nice to know that you are out there in cyberland. I'm going to try to sleep and hope for the best.

@ medical fox: I'm in Australia - We don't have Hersey kisses!!! I've been eating Lindt 70% dark chocolate, one or two squares a day but I've already eaten some today

What?! Now that's just plain crazy.

I know!!! It's hard to believe
You might be able to find them at expensive specialty stores but not in the supermarket.
My best friend is American and loves the Hersey chocolate topping but again it's hard to find.

Sending hugs, I know that lonely feeling very well.

Do you have any Hersey products or miniature chocolate products? If not break a dark chocolate candy bar into small pieces and put it in a freezer bag. I hope you enjoy church and the feeling goes away. The only thing I can suggest is keep distracting yourself.

I also feel alone and empty even in a crowd, hang in there..it will get better..

Finally got to sleep and looking forward to seeing people soon. But then it's Tuesday before I have anything scheduled to do with people. (I have lots to do by myself)
Hubby is studying for an exam and working so he is so busy that I feel like I can't waste his time.
The chocolate craving are ok. It's just when I get a bit emotional I feel like eating a block of milk chocolate, yum. Eating a couple of squares of dark chocolate seems to work.
Thanks for all your replies
@wiretwister: I know what you mean, hoping that won't happen today
