Dreading the weekend

I am so dreading the weekend - just tired of being home alone - but hope everyone else has a great one!

Call a friend - go to a bookstore - a movie - anything to get out there. It is SO hard, but you can do it. Stay strong!!!

I agree with kkb, find yourself in all of this. I know it is so hard to continue on by yourself, but it is the reality right now. Rediscover what makes you happy.

Kkbmom is right. Get out of the house. Go shopping or for a nice long walk, anything but sitting at home by yourself!

I'm going to add--find a volunteer opportunity. I always feel better knowing I am helping others.

Cynthia, I wish I had the cleaning bug when I'm depressed, unfortunately, I reach for Ben & Jerry's, my place stays a mess AND I get fat.

Been there myself. Its taken me almost 6 months or so to feel comfortable with the weekends again. Staying home with little to do is the worst thing to do. Find a project for yourself, or get out of the house, phone a friend, exercise, basically everything everyone said.

Figure what you like doing and the things you like and spoil yourself, indulge yourself, you HAVE to make this time your own. Make it all about you.

Best wishes.

do what YOU want for a change.
If money is an issue, go to the library, ask a friend to go walking with you, or go to a matinee movie. Just get out of the house. Get together or call someone that you've not seen/talked to for a long time. JUST DO IT! I know at times it is hard but take it a step at a time. You will feel much better.

1st, something else that I do since I can't get out by myself is jigsaw puzzles, search a word, cards, just different things that keep your mind on other things. That is the main thing. I know it's easier said than done, but, it does help, especially when you are at home alone. "Keep Your Chin Up!~!" Best of luck to you!~!

I know it is hard, I hate it, being alone without my kids. Sometimes I just feel like going to get them from their Dad, but it is his time. I read alot and started going to movies, its not bad.

yea, I will probably go to the movies tomorrow afternoon - who knows - I have been doing some arts and craft stuff - but I sure miss companionship - can't imagine being without my little dog :)

Not everyone will approve because the divorce isn't final (because of his continued control games) but it's been more than 7 months since he moved out... I'm going on a date!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
