Feeling Lonely Can be very Depressing

I agree I live alone and i absolutly hate it my doc has me on ,medication for depression and im sure the lonely ness contributes to it

definitely feelin lonely can be very depressing, i think mylot can give you a solution to this for a certain extent, its like there are many people around and you are not the only, one i would tell you that you should never feel lonely, it can affect your mental health, always you must always look at being happy

well I wouldnt stay inside I would get out and walk look around talk to people . I garden alot and read but I do alot of this outside. when you are outside and hear the birds sing you are never truly alone!

Being alone is wonderful. Your own space and everything in its spot that will not change unless you do something to make it so. You eat what you want and do not have to share. You can decorate it girly and not have a man to complain. You don't have to worry about thievery from a room mate. You can listen to rock or opera and no one has an opinion and no one asks you to change it. The remote is all yours and any channel you select is watchable. If you wish some company you take a class or go to the mall. Shop or visit family or friends. Puzzles and puzzle books are great ways to fill time. Also you can sleep like you wish as long as you wish. There are many things good about having your own space.

I was lonely like you. Now, never. I've got a depression too. Now, never. Do you know something? You have to face the world by opening your positive thinking. Going easy is the best way to answer your lonely day. Make a good thing, find the sollution of your bad life with other friends or families. Good luck....... Don't be lonely. You're not allone.

yes...feeling lonely is very depressing,but you should find a way out of this.for example,meet your friends,go out with them(it's imposible not to have at least one friend and if you don't have one make one).we usual feel lonely if we don't have a partner of life,somebody to love.don't despair!each of us has its half on this earth.think simple!think positive!

I guess I'm lucky enough to have 3 teens right now but at some point I will be "alone" but I can honestly say that while I'm sure I'll have "lonely" moments for the most part I think I will enjoy the solitude. I really have a passion for life & while it can be nice to share that passion, I also enjoy being completely free of anyone else's needs & desires. I hope you can find the passion in life that allows you to be happy with or without someone else.

There are times when it seems to feel right just 'wallowing'. However I would think of things that would keep me busy and get my mind off loneliness. First, I'd play my favorite music (the oldies) to cheer me up, then putter around the house. You'll find there's always something to do -- tidy up, do albums, etc. Or else, if you don't feel like doing those things, write/email or call friends and family. Maybe go out and try a new haircut or have a manicure, pedicure and massage. Just get up and get going! Life is beautiful.

May I ask you that who has created this four-wall box? Means who is responsible for this loneliness penetrating feeling? Who is stopping you to go out and share your time with friends and relatives and make yourself busy and active?? I hope these questions may lead you for real conditioning you have created! Well, I enjoy loneliness: To be with myself is gaining for me! I have learned that loneliness is not unhappy situation but it is positive thing that brings you the golden moments to be with your own self! If once you learn this then you will seek more and more time to be with you! Otherwise make yourself easy for going out and to be with friends and what ever you like positively. And ensure that to get you out of the feeling of depression!

I truly understand the feeling of being lonely.But sometimes,it depends of the choices we have.In the first place,that is the life we choose.To live in a place where we are alone.So no matter how it is hard for us, but we stay for it because we need to stand what we want for our lives. I usually watch dvd,listening to music, cleaning my house everyday.And sometimes, i call my friends to visit me.Lol!!!

i feel for you. i understand to a point about that but i am married now.

I am depressed as it is and being lonely only makes it worse. I always fear someday of being alone and it scares me. I very seldom am alone now that I have 4 kids at home all the time with me, but there are times that even though the house is full I still feel alone as they are doing there own things.

I had to try and find as many activities as I could.It seems that I couldn't keep friends around.They would pick up my bad mood and responded negatively to my attitude.I still struggle with it but with medication and karate and going to work.I have found some purpose for my life.It may not be a whole lot but it is something and I can't let anyone take that from me.

I kind of feel the same sitting in my room hearing the buzzof the morning traffic going by or in the afternoon when I see school kids returning home or in the evening when I see couples holding hands with that spastic glow of love around them and wonder....What am I doing here?

I agree. I feel lonely because my daughter moved out and liv with her hubby's parents house and now I have no one to talk to and I have been crying for few days and I am trying not to think about it and I know she will come and visit but still I am loney and my hubby is at work so I am here at home alone with the computer.

I don't have the problem of loneliness. I don't get many days alone at all. I know many older people that say they just sit and look at the four walls. I can find so many things to do or crafts to do to keep myself entertained.

Have been there & done that. Even went outside of the 4 walls to sit on the front step & realized I was watching the world pass me by. So I went back inside in order to avoid seeing what I saw. When being alone is not a choice it can become really overwhelming. I choose now to live alone, but I'm not lonely.

I understand how it feels. As I lived alone some years ago. My life was quite simple. Every morning I went to work. After the tiring work, I went to the market to buy some foods and cooked at home. I enjoyed cooking but actually I ate it by myself most of the time. After that, I would go to have a shower and then sat in front of the TV or computer. Sometimes I played the games very late. I didn't go out so much. This life was OK but sometimes if I was not happy at work or met something bad, I would feel very loney and probably I would cry. At that time I realized that it's better to have someone to share with you.

Being alone can be very depressing at times. I have been living away from my family since I was in high school. I love being alone because you can do whatever you want or be whatever you want without anyone saying a word. But when you need someone to talk to, you can't.

well itried to outside adnd do window shoppindg read lot of books and watch tv
