Am alone at work, boss out sick. Feel kind of sad. Does anyone want to be lonely with me?

I've been there its no fun may I suggest the loneliness support group they may have more ideas for you.

Yes, I have posted there too. Since I do suffer from depression as well I thought I would see if anyone else is lonely today too.

Well, I am not especially lonely, but I am always glad to chat or exchange messages when I have time, like now.

Peace be with you!!!

I'm sitting in my office, door closed, feeling alone as well. Lots of things to think about nowadays, besides Christmas. :o(

Keep your head up!!

I stay alone at my house everyday, until my parents and siblings comes home from work/study.

I can say that we're all here for you, and nobody wants to be lonely.

There are situations we can't such as these times when we're forced to be alone; but what we can do is we can change how we think about the situation, how we see things, how we think about it - and in turn we can change the way we feel:) -- basic premise of Cognitive Behavior Treatment

What I usually do is I think about being alone as my special time where I can do what I want, do chores(baby steps will do) just to feel productive,do my rehabilitation at my own pace, Commune with God and do some soul searching

I looked at the time that you wrote your post and I wasn't on my computer yet, otherwise I would have joined you to talk and we could have been lonely together. Please don't ever feel like you have to be lonely when you are on DS. What really needs to be emphasized to the newbies, is that DS is usually quite quiet on weekends, holidays, and other unknown reasons, so if you don't get your posts answered, you need to know that it has nothing to do with you. Okay?

I hope you are doing better. I know what it is to be lonely. I think there are a lot more of us than we realize. So, I am lonely with you. I try to keep a daily routine and include things to do for myself. It is something to do and sometimes it helps. Somehow I think you just want to be heard. I hear you and I know it hurts. The one thing we have is hope that it will get better. Hang in there and know you are not alone.
