Hi there , I think this time of year can make people feel more alone because we just assume everyone else is having a great time but a lot arn't , Ive said it before it can feel just as lonely being with family , anxiety it very isolating, just keep getting out there and try talking to people , dog walkers always want a chat . Take care chap .:)

Hi!!Yeah sure but I have felt like this for quite while sure I do meet other dog walkers but when we had a quick chat then I am on my own again, same with the peer support groups I go to while the meetings take place it's fine when the meeting is on but after its finshed Iam all alone, and yes many ppl will be on their own a Xmas but many wont either many will have great time too with family and friends tbh I will be glad when Xmas is over it ffing stinks :weep: ATB

I can understand that. The holidays can be a really tough time. You see commercials, holiday movies, friends/family posting pictures online of get-togethers, and it can make you feel worse if you don't have all of that going on. Sometimes it helps to take a break from all of it ... turning the TV/computer off and just doing something enjoyable for you.

The other day I had the TV off and was off the computer for a while working on a hobby of mine. Yeah, I was still by myself, but it at least gave me a break from comparing to myself to others.

Yes I can relate to being lonely. I am married too.
I just wish I could have a friend to talk to face to face.

I will not be lonely at Christmas though.
It's just on a daily basis.:shrug:

Watched our local news last night, over 9 million in Britain are lonely and Mp Jo Cox (before she died) was actively seeking to do something about it. It can eat away at your self esteem/confidence it's just horrible. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy ATB

wasn't Jo Cox looking at getting folks in a local area to buddy up and visit lonely folks, on the premise that lonely people dont go out either, she was a great MP, such a shame

Yes that was the plan sadly it never happened! Think she would have made a great difference in many ppl's lives :) ATB

Hey I do when my anxiety and depression kicks in. I don't want to talk to those around me and I feel lonely, hence coming on here.
During the week I work from home and it is VERY lonely :( I end up going for naps during the day just to pass the time, then lay awake at night worrying or dwelling. Not always but more often than not.

My anxiety and depression has been pretty good for a month or so but I can feel it creeping in. I too go out with the dogs during the week and I am actually looking out for people to walk towards to generate some conversation. Sad.
Do you work? I am far more isolated and lethargic since working from home.

Jo Cox was one of the very few MPs who was as decent as Westminster would allow. Utter tragedy she died before her time in such a despicable manner.

Excellent you and Magic live close to each other - I'd join you for a frothy one if I lived closer :wacko:
