I like to do activities that I can do by myself like go for a walk, chores that I don’t mind doing, and crocheting. I also like to read. I like to use meetup.com to find activities that I can go to with others to decrease isolation.

It's not easy, I'm alone a whole lot too.
I try to keep busy, catch up on making appointments, I talk to my counselor once a week on the phone, see my sisters every other week, read, etc.
When I feel like I'm going to go out of my mind from not interacting with people, I go outside, even if it's just for a walk. To see activity, to see people, etc. It's hard to push myself to go out sometimes, but when i do, I'm always glad I did go out. It cheers me up.

So sorry to hear that you are struggling. I am too!
I have to agree with the comments that are already here. I also like to journal. One of the things that helps me with depression is writing out three things that I am thankful for. It helps me focus on the blessings in my life. I call it my gratitude journal. Have you tried any of the online counseling sites?? Try to stay connected as much as you can.... Long distance relationships are hard..... It is nice that you get to see your partner every other weekend.... Praying peace over you!

Hi shysweepea, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling alone. It's not fun feeling that way at all. I get it. You have been on my page and commented on some of my post and I want to say thank you. Dealing with and going through depression is not easy sometimes what i like to do is i like to write on here and release my frustrations and hopefully find guidance through others writings. Another big thing i do is i like to draw and allow the flow of my emotions to draw what i feel on paper, or i sing and play music. Everyone has there own was of coping. Sometimes i talk to my grandmother or my mom, or even my sisters. I can definitely relate to feeling alone. I just recently moved back from Hawaii to California, and it's been 2 and a half years since i been in California. I move to a place I'm not familiar with a place that is far from where my mom and sisters are, away from my best friends. So i get it being alone its not fun neither is it easy but i believe that you can overcome this. You are doing everything that you need keep writing on here and we as a community will try our best to give the best advice that you need, be that shoulder you need to cry on, and be that friend when you feel alone. I know that you were there for me in my time of need, and its now my time to be there for you. Sending you gentle hugs and hope that you get better.

Also for the long distance thing i get it i'm in one of those too my significant other is currently deployed in japan and man its hard especially when i know that he is suffering mentally try talking with him and being open about how you are feeling whether its over the phone or in person talking about whats bothering you right then an there can make a huge difference. I try to video chat him every time i can, even when he is being an ass i try to do my best at being upfront and honest and that has seemed to help me in my relationship.
