Yes, being alone is hard when you are used to having people around. Maybe we can this thread going?

Do you have anyone that you could call and talk to or who could call you(maybe a friend or relative) once or twice a day? Sometimes it doesn't seem so lonely if you have someone to talk to.

Miracle,

I'm sorry that you are alone. Do you like to read? Sometimes when I read a good book I don't care if people are around.

I am not used to having people around. Being alone is bearable for me.

I hear ya, got a long, boring, lonely weekend ahead of me too. Though I guess every day is a weekend when you're unemployed anyway. It's kinda sad I'm looking forward to my T appointment just to have someone to talk to :/

I know how ya feel, and I know it sucks. I also know that sometimes every fun activity people can possibly list for you to try just give you a "meh" attitude.

Hope ya found something on TV or a movie to watch, I've been distracting myself with the olympics. Though sometimes seeing these really young athletes makes me feel like a total loser heh.

just chiming in to say that I am alone all weekend and it IS hard. I'm still working on being ok with being alone and when there are days on end that go by without me seeing anyone or going anywhere, it really gets to my head.

ALW, a lot of times my appt w/T is the ONLY thing I have going on all week, I definitely look forward to just to get out of the HOUSE, and of course to have someone to talk to.
Thanks for this!

G'day, Miracle1986! How goes it so far?

Occasionally (OK, often) I voice my thoughts into the air. The sound makes the house seem less empty. I've also been known to read aloud, recite poetry and texts, sing (sort of), etc. Actually, I don't feel lonely. I don't know if any of the above, stuff I do naturally, would help you.

Well, here's to you getting something positive out of your solitary weekend!

I often feel the same way. I'm at college and my roommates go home every weekend, so most of the time I'm by myself for a couple days and I can't stand it.
Thanks for this!

I look forward to seeing T too, & having it set on the calendar. I'm going 2x per week right now, that helps. Other than that I try to get out to the store once a day (even just to buy a diet coke or something) just to be around other people - or the library or a cafe. One day at the library the guy at the cirrculation desk said to me, "you know, you can use our automated check-out system," and he pointed over at a machine in the corner. I just shook my head and said, "no thanks." I wanted to tell him he was the one person I would interact with that afternoon.
Thanks for this!
