Yeah, being lonely sucks. I make sure to find activities that I really enjoy doing.

I think it's good that you're planning to watch those concerts. Watching things on my TV helps me pass time quicker.

I also like watching comedy. That stuff is usually good for lifting my spirits.
Thanks for this!

Enjoy your own company. Make yourself something special to eat. Pretend you have your favorite movie star hanging out with you all weekend. Dance around the house in your underwear. Try going somewhere you have never been by yourself.

Enjoy your own company indeed! I love to watch my favorite shows listen to my favorite music while I am alone. Or find some chatrooms online if you like that sort of thing. Connecting with strangers can be fun, provided they are not acting mean or crude.

Your own company can be the best, you can be free!

Play the music loud and sing along, that's what I do when alone.

Binge watch TV sit around in your underwear, scratch what you want

Order pizza and then make something you enjoy that noone else in your family does and enjoy enjoy.

Definitely check it out for your area. There's a brewery hoping group in my area I thinking of joining since I love craft beer,lol. They meet about once every two weeks. There's also a bicycling group I'm thinking of joining in July when I get my new bike. I've seen sewing groups, cooking, board game players, people who go to restaurants together etc. Could be fun.

I can relate to the weekend loneliness. I am fearing that only unhealthy, risky behaviors are filling a void for me, and I want to learn how to be happy without relying on others. I felt lonely and let down this weekend. For the past few months, I've been seeing a guy who happens to have a lot of baggage. He broke plans last minute, which he did twice in a row (only recently), but it understandable based on where he's at in his life. Plus, he does have a kid. It's great being with him, and the feeling is mutual. However, as a single person without a child, I know I'll never come first, but we had a few intense months so far, and it's him who always said "you're the one who makes me happy, and it's you I want to be with." That may be true, but I know realistically there's so many obstacles.

To make a long story short, I think a lot of my manic behaviors make the situation worse: lots of money spent, risky sexual behavior early on, too many elaborate plans. I need to slow down. The Seroquel was increased: hopefully that could help, along with going back to therapy. I try to call friends just to talk to, spend time with family if possible, and read inspirational material online.

For you though, I hope this article helps. I think it can be helpful to so many people:
lonely weekend
