I have just been in Devon and in London. I have one old English book and there is a map of the whole Great Britain. I found out that there are some many places to see. It would be interesting to rent a car there and drive around. Maybe one day.

I’m alone today , as my stepdaughter is working . She’ll pick me up tomorrow afternoon when we’ll have our Christmas meal . I can’t complain as I spent many years after my wife died completely on my own during the Christmas period .

Happy Christmas @anon94176359 and @firemonkey - Your one of my favorites on this site. Im alone as well - but im quite happy doing my own thing.

Had a fellow MH sufferer with bi-polar ring me for help this morning, silly bugger OD’d in an attempt to get sectioned last night and was stranded at the hospital - so i had to pay for his taxi.

Ive done him a lamb dinner in a tub - and i think he’s gone to bed.
A few years ago that would have been me - having a meltdown over Xmas.

Im in a position now, i think where i can help others going thru the same distress :slight_smile:

It is nice to help others, Christmas can be depressing if one Is alone, I am often alone, but then I have my walks and I may see people whom I know. I think it is nice to write a few journal entries every now and then. In my loneliness I find some time to improve my English by listening to English broadcasts and reading different materials. I am especially interested in the history of the English language, how it has been different during different time periods in the history of the whole Great Britain.

Thats nice to hear. I have my own private journal of my thoughts and feelings in a word document that i fill in - i would never share it tho - only parhaps my social worker if she asked.

Its nice thats your learning the history of english - you probably know more than me!

I dont get lonely anymore - infact i prefer my own company. My “Fear of missing out” went sometime ago. Im more of an introspective person now - and im happier for it.

Have a great day Friend. x

Have wife and kid, but no parents for the first time in two decades. This is heaven and the right balance between family and alone.

I managed to stay for Christmas lunch with family despite that there was lots of people.

A touch awkward,uncomfortable but still nice to be with loved ones.

I have spent Christmas alone before when I was delusional.

Wishing you a happy new year :partying_face: :slightly_smiling_face:.

Just back to being alone again. Can’t manage the whole day with people. I’ll go back downstairs after a nap
