Me as always. Its just me and my two cats no matter what the holiday. At this time of year between Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day and Easter, its Very Lonely for me.

As someone who has thought about suicide let me tell you that it is not worth it. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Please open your heart and let in the love that is out there just aching to be taken into your heart.

Happy to help, blackhawk (Black Hawk Down--great film, by the way). I can really and truthfully say I don't mind being alone, for a few days at a time. It's very introspective! Christmas is just another day to me. Longer than that, and I know I'll attract some company, not healthy company, but company. There are always angry, jobless alcoholics wanting to be my friend, waiting to move in with me.

I wish I was alone right now. Sometimes people can be more toxic than being alone. My soon to be ex-girlfriend just showed up last night, and long story short, just made a bad living situation worse. I actually had to list the ways she could have made it worse than she did, and there weren't too many things I could list, and they where all seriously bad. Things she could have done worse;
1) Lied to get me thrown in jail (she has an ex boyfriend she told me she did that to)
2) Poisoned me or my son (she told me she tried poisoning her mother and someone else)
3) Had the gas shut off ( a bill she hasn't paid in months)
4) Showed up with one of her drug addicted friends as a long term house guest.
5) Can't think of anything worse than what she did last night no matter how hard I try. That's how f'd up it was.

Another supposed happy day I have to struggle to make it through. I had plans for today if she made it home, presents, baking my moms homemade cookie recipe, and dinner. It is going to be a serious struggle to get the energy to even care enough to do any of those things. For example, me sitting in the basement typing on this site while she sleeps through the day. My son is with his mother for most of the day, I am afraid to even say Merry Christmas because I know he will ask about her, and I'm don't know what to say if he does. Wait till he gets home, or text him the news of what she did. Merry Freaking Christmas!

hugs to you all I'm so sorry you're all alone or feeling alone this Christmas, ss depression I know someone who did thathe to her bfor with sleeping pills and viagrab and goodness know what else, it's sad someone can do that to another human being

I made a post for those who are alone or feeling alone I know it's not physically but we can all chat and take our mindsite off shirty depression

I want to respond to everyone here who feels bad to be alone on THIS day. Sometimes I think the holidays bring out the most negative feelings in people - like feeling alone.

I'm alone with my cats; I love my cats and as a catsitter I'm watching other people's cats when they are away visiting family. I've gotten so used to being alone on holidays that it doesn't bother me much anymore. Occasionally I let it get to me, but usually, I'm fine.

Be thankful you're alive and count your blessings. And remember, it's just another day and a new tomorrow.

Shoot i wish I was alone with all this noise. I'd like some peace and quiet. My family has definately over stayed their welcome. Their kids are bad.

I am alone. It stinks :( I had 5 days off without using any vacation days. I have no money for vacation. In fact I did not even get my teenage(18) daughter a present. my son (15) got a $4.00 newtons cradle. (balls that bang back and forth) he was happy. My husband and I don't live together do to our jobs so I was hoping to spent the time with him. He ended up having to take care of a friend who is sick on Christmas eve. He got back this morning and then had to go to work because some things broke. If I wasn't depressed none of this would even bother me. But for some reason the medication isn't working this week and all I want to do is cry and sleep..

I WAS ALONE AND STILL M.
HUBBY ON THE ROAD DURING HOLIDAYS.

hugs to you all X

I am usually completely alone on all holidays.
I live my life as far away from people as I can get.
This year I was in the hospital for Thanksgiving
and Christmas. But no one mentioned the holidays
in there, which was a good thing. I don't even
understand holidays to begin with. What are they
all about? As a kid I never celebrated any holidays
with anyone, and still don't. They are meaningless.

Heretic, it is so good to hear from you! You have been very missed on many sites. I'm sorry you were in the hospital and I hope you are doing better now. Would love to tell you what I think of the holidays but maybe I will pmessage you. Hugs GB
