Hi 🙂 I'm a single mum with few friends and none who visit here, I had to move a long way. I k ow that feeling of loneliness especially at night. What do you do to help? I usually hav background noise going (ie music or telly) and read or surf net, catch up on the news etc
Hope you're going ok,

Hi @Jamc

there are a few of us lurking at the moment. 

I can relate to exhaustion after a workout.

Hi. I live alone ...with my beautiful doggies. Most weeks the only person i see is the checkout chick at woolies.
I'm very lonely, mostly on wkends. Another Saturday night spent alone.
Just found out im alone on xmas day too!!! NOT looking forward to that. Am i the only one?????

I have pets and they help heaps. Mostly i use the tv or the radio too...i hate the quiet, it makes me feel all the more alone. I like reading books or i colour in or do word searches. I spend a lot of time on Facebook. ...helps fill the gap.

What's everybody doing for Christmas day????

Saturday night tv is the pits ...

For christmas ... I am gradually finding out about more people who are alone ... and starting to feel less abnormal.

I plan to have a good movie to watch and extra yummy food that is easy to prepare ...  it triggers loneliness in a lot of people ... and things are changing in how many people approach that day.  Find a way to mark it that makes sense and is a comfort for you.
