Know how you feel, the fact that your parents are gone can you not invite you friends round get them to stay over a few nights get pizza watch movies stay up all night and just have a laugh. You have answered you own question get distracted. I don't like using that word as I hate the idea of it being just a quick fix or a mask what I'm trying to say is find things that really engage you and open's your mind and learn new things about yourself. Don't hang around the house on your own.

Hi, I'm in the same place as you, all my family & friends are away on Hols atm. I'm into day 4 & starting to feel a little more comfortable with my new situation. No one telling me what to do etc. I'ts different but stress free. I hope my take on things settle you a little.

Good luck & please try to enjoy

Remember help is only ever a phone call away, whether is's a help line, a friend, online chat or the emergency services.

I know it's hard but honestly you'll be surprised how well you cope when you don't have a choice.

Do you have any friends/family that could stay with you or you could stay with them?
