So it’s october 11 and I’m feeling lonely. I haven’t lost any weight yet. And I’m 12 weeks from my birthday. I’m feeling depressed about missing out on another year of not having anyone to do Halloween stuff. I’m having thoughts that I’m going to be alone again for the holidays. Im trying to ground myself and take it a day at a time feeling is still there. Why do I have to live like this. I’m not asking for pity, just expressing my feelings and hopelessness.

What about joining a support group like DBSA or NAMI? The people in those groups can help you cope with your feelings and you can make friends there who "just get it". Then maybe you'll have someone to be with on your birthday? No guarantees about Halloween since it's October 11th and Halloween is 20 days away, but birthday? There's definitely a chance
Good luck |

I don't have any advice for you but wanted you to know you're not alone. I've been suffering from loneliness too.

I love halloween. It's my favorite holiday!
Every year I wish there was a halloween party I could go to, but our babysitter goes out on halloween so there's no one to watch my kid at night. So my husband and I just watch zombie movies and drink red wine. Do you have family you could hang out with? Or maybe you could go to a bar and just be around people? (But not drink and then drive.) You could look up things you could do. I agree with blue about maybe doing some sort of NAMI group so you could meet others who suffer the way we do. I don't know if this will make you feel better, but I've been gaining weight since my med change. So I understand your weight gain/loss woes. Hugs, boogie.

Ive been going to Gamblers Anonymous for three weeks now and made a few friends already. One guy has the same job as me and we have so much in common. I feel so comfortable around these people as we are all broken and can talk about it freely and not worry about having to hide how we really feel. I live in a city where I only know two people but dont hang with them as they are heavy in addiction. Its sucks so bad to not have anyone to talk with and hang, but feel at this rate if I needed someone to hang New Years Eve I could probably swing it if I asked people in the group. |

I can relate.....I don't have anyone, but see people around me with other people and feel I am missing out. I do not have ways of meeting people easily. If you have any particular hobby or feel like getting into a certain interest, sometimes libraries have classes (for instance, art or reading groups) or events. Just an idea....I understand not having the drive to do these kinds of things though, especially with depression, which is why I haven't followed my own advice. (((Hugs))). You're not alone.

I’m pretty happy alone, seriously, it is OK. I can do what I want, and there isn’t anyone telling me what a bad person I am.
Alone isn’t all bad! |

When I was younger I would let it get to me but since I moved to Pac NW, Ive been more ok with being alone as people up here are more introverted and alone seems more the norm. |
