(((hugs))). If you end up being alone, you might want to get some of your favorite food/snacks, do things to comfort yourself. Loneliness sucks though.

I can relate. Although I talked about New Year's with somebody a couple of weeks ago, he has a busy life, and as New Year's Eve is getting closer, I doubt we're going to plan anything together. I'm not even going to reach out, because I don't like to pressure anyone, and he tends to be unreliable, although it's not entirely his fault based on his lifestyle. He's fun when he is available, but I don't want to wait around for him.

I feel rather lonely and have a strong feeling I won't be doing anything. Part of me hopes someone will get in touch with me and ask me to do something, but I doubt it. Plus, depression is taking a toll on my motivation. The closer it gets to New Year's though, the lonelier I get and the more I am reminded of the bad things that happened this year.

What a bad time to be alone, I feel for you.
Do you know anyone at all that you can call to come over or have you considered going out for one of the many new years celebrations?
Thanks for this!

This is a good idea for anyone who is lonely on New Year's....reaching out to others, and if it doesn't work out, maybe there's places around you can go to that have general New Year's events for people to just hang out, eat, etc. Waiting for others to reach out can be depressing, so taking a proactive approach if you feel you have the energy to do so is a good potential solution.

I won't be doing anything either for New Years Eve. When I first started not having anything to do I didn't mind that much; it was refreshing, and I would still hear from parents and a friend or two. But as the years have gone by and my parents have died and friends faded away I am now longing, of course, for the good ol' days.

Happy Birthday Boogiesmash!

Sorry to hear you will be alone, I know that if it wasn't for my GF I would
be alone also. I hope your birthday is a good one my friend, Happy Bday.

Are fireworks legal in NJ or any states nearby? Making things explode always makes me feel better...Everyone does it on New Years' Eve anyways. Welcome your birthday with a BANG!!!

Happy birthday! I'm sorry you're alone though. Maybe do something you really enjoy. Go to the gym or something.

(Just a joke) Call an escort service & celebrate with a Bang-Bada-Boom!!! It just might be the gift that keeps giving...if you catch a STD, that is.
Thanks for this!

I can't actually remember the last time I celebrated my birthday

(yes, part of the reason I don't celebrate is because i'm alone), but also because the whole thing is a guilt trip and all i'm really doing is being reminded of the terrible year and how bad it was.

I never quite got the hang of trying to look to a new year, new start, that kind of thing

suppose because it's just never that way...

I agree with shattered sanity. I tend to treat my birthday (especially) & holidays as just another day....which is really what they are...arbitrary landmarks. If I dwell too much on the fun I "should be having" it always leads to a downer (I tend to be somewhat of a loner). To be honest, I'll probably be in bed before midnight on New Years Eve again this year...unless I can score some really good fireworks. I mentioned this earlier in the thread, boogie, but there's nothing quite like blowing things up! (The Department of Homeland Security is probably monitoring this post. )
Thanks for this!

I'm accepting that tonight is not going to be a night I wished for. However that gives me all the reason to make next year spectacular. I'm choosing to live healthy and reduce my weight. My main goal is to look good for my friends wedding.

Have a great birthday!

Sorry you're going to be alone, though. I will be too. So you're not the only one.

Good luck with your goals, btw. They definitely seem achievable, and I hope they work out for you. I wish I had your optimism. lol.

I'm at the parking lot of my gym. Can't focus can't start driving. Contemplating why I can't get out of this circle of pain. I plan plan plan but when it comes to it I can't action. I suck.

My fantastic New Year's Eve dinner is a f uxking lean cuisine pizza. I always wanted to be out with a group of friends eating good food and waiting for the New Years. Has that ever happened not in a long time. Four years ago I made a promise I wouldn't spend New Years alone and here I am alone defeated feeling pathetic and it is suppose to be my day.

This isn't living. I can't stand this constant halllow burden I feel. I've learned only pain in the past five , six years. I never again found my footing. I'm struggling day in and day out. I'm envy of the simple things to relationships. If it's a vicious circle I need to get out I feel so weak and vulnerable. I'm not meant for happiness.
