Ok since i'm here and i know i am not the only one (looking at members on PC) .well i'm not alone (my partner is here somewhere, <looking around>)but i may as well be. we have a partnership but we have seperate lives.kind of like living with a roomate with benefits but am not accountable to each other.
So on that note.....how bout you guys alone on christmas eve/christmas or just have nothing else to do but be here on PC (which isn't bad either i quite like it here even if i do have somewhere to be. Last edited by racee; Dec 25, 2010 at 12:17 AM. |

Merry Christmas Eve, Racee!
 If my life were more together, I wouldn't be here. But I've met lots of wonderful folks at PsychCentral, and that's comforting. I believe there's value in the kind of virtual socialization to be found here. Of course, I have no way of measuring that value. We're definitely not alone in our distresses.

I won't be alone--family is coming--and I already have my husband and sons here. But I want you to know that I am thinking about all you folks who are alone! You are definitely not forgotten!

I'm alone, yet not.
 I also have Caleb here with me! Today marks the 4th year since he was flown down to me (Christmas night!) when he was only 8 weeks old. He's been by my side ever since. I'm giving him extra treats (even though I know if he gains weight, I'll have to work him hard this next month to get it off him!

I just joined a little while ago and spend everyday alone, and the holidays are no different.
Before my illness I had a hubby, family, and friends and my Holidays were fulfilling and joyous. I now have my cat by my side! This has been going on now for about 16yrs, I can't say I am used to it but I just try not to think about it being Christmas. I also know that there are others out there that are alone! To all of us that are alone today, Merry Christmas!

Family left about an hour and a half ago. We were up at 6:00 opening gifts and having breakkie, then they went to other side of family.
I'm getting sleepy from getting up so early, even with a couple of cofee, so might have a nap, listening to some music on the TV by a choir, in French.

I'm alone, but then I'm not. My parents live upstairs but haven't seen them since opening gifts before my daughter left. I want my daughter back!

HI. I am alone here too. I have some movies to watch, but being on this site makes me feel better. I just joined about a half hour ago. I hope you are OK. Christmas is really just any old day. I think what makes me sad is that I make up stuff about other people having it so much better than me. Like they are all sitting around the living room, with their (non-dysfunctional) families and laughing it up. I think reality is that everyone is feeling just a little child-like and fragile.
Nice to talk to you. MB01 |

I too just joined as a member of the forums here, and largely because of this very thread's topic. This is the second Christmas I have spent completely alone, but the first of which I have had no chemical help in dealing with that reality. I've been telling myself in recent weeks that this would be just another day like any other, no more (and no less) difficult than all the rest. I was surprised to find how affected I was, how much more poignantly and acutely I'd remember the things I once had that are now gone, how all the joys I once associated with the holiday are just memories lost forever in the past. It's a bitter reminder of how isolated I really am. Though I have social phobia bad enough that I'm even reluctant to post anonymously on a web forum, I'm just so damned lonely I have to make some sort of pathetic attempt to connect with someone. But then I realize I'm just reaching out to strangers on the 'net, and what a daunting, implausible task it would be to get to know one of them (on the off chance one of them even wants to get to know me). But I guess if someone is reading this, I finally decided to click the "submit reply" button and give it a shot.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
