I don't know what else to do

Hi everyone, normally I'm a happy, positive person, but lately I've been feeling very lonely. I try to focuss on the positive things in my life, I keep a smile on my face, I work hard and I go on with my days but sometimes I feel so lonely it hurts and I don't know what else to do. Any thoughts?

hi, i am here to talk to as i get quite lonely too, all you got to do is keep looking up and staying positive on outer life. Try and communicate with people who can accept your feelings and help u get better.

Loneliness gets the better of me on many days too and I hate it. It seems to be worse when I am by myself for longer periods of time. Too much time to think I always say. If I can, I will try to distract myself from these feelings by either getting things done around the house or going shopping. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Try making plans to go out with friends if you can. That is always a hard one for me as my friends also are married with small children. I know it is hard to stay positive sometimes, but I've been told it really helps. I have a hard time with this one too. If you ever need to talk or a shoulder to cry on just let me know.

Thank you both for your words and your time. I know it will help me to talk to share with you guys and listen to your experiences. Somedays it gets very hard to be lonely. We have to stay strong and have faith.
