For the whole week I'm mostly by myself. I work weird hours where I'm working while everyone else I know is not. I'm working by myself half the time. I feel the worst in the mornings or when someone wants to do something while I'm at work. Now suicidal thoughts are starting to come. I don't know how much longer I can take this. The only time I don't feel lonely is on the weekends.

Why don't you feel lonely on the weekends? Do you feel lonely at work only?

It's just a matter of adaptation. No need to feel guilty for having various work hours.
Think of public aircraft pilots, who fly the planes for many hours, at varying times as you do. Think about the doctors who work at emergency rooms around the clock.

Hi I'm sorry you're feeling down. Why are week-ends less lonely?

[Lifeischallenging]

I feel alone all the time. Its not just you. Even, when I am surrounded by people, I feel alone. I don't feel like I am part of a group.

Are you able to schedule any activities for your me-time?

Do you have friends you go out with during weekends? Perhaps it's just that you work too much and don't have time to do anything else?

I get lonely quite a bit too,it is hard.I consider myself lucky because I do visit my mum and she is good company and also once a month I spend a whole day with my niece who is at university,she is only 18.Apart from them I never see anyone,I don't know anyone.
I am supposed to be going to a meet up this Saturday where I may meet new people it is an assemble for writers to talk about their hobby.I want to go and it be a way to make new friends I hope it works out well and I don't back out last minute which is what usually happens with me.

I hope you can find ways to feel less lonely during the week what about inviting work colleagues to join you for lunch or coffee?Suicidal thought are tough to handle,ask yourself if being alone and isolated is what is causing those thoughts and then reach out for help,isolation is an illusion and it can make you feel your situation has no solution but death but it isn't real, you need to talk about how you are feeling and what your situation is even if with a doctor.

Try and find support,there are befriending groups in my area for the elderly or maybe go join the book club at the library etc

Even just go to a coffee shop or a bar for a drink just being surrounded by people even if they are strangers helps me feel less isolated!
