What about watching a really funny comedy? Or a bunch of them? That always takes my mind off of things.

Going out alone is better than sitting there depressed. Why dont take a walk and look around?

I am so sorry you are alone today. I feel alone most days. I wish you would call some of your family and friends at least and get in some Christmas magic?

I’ll probably take a walk. Good suggestion.

I’ve spent some Christmas 's on my own, and spent a Christmas in hospital too. Don’t let it get you down, there’s probably something on TV that you’ll like tonight.
Sorry to hear.
I hope things pick up for you.
If any consolation there was a Thanksgiving years back were my mother and I had been left alone.
We were rock bottom broke, she was dying from cancer and we had a wee bit of left over Hamburger Helper to share between the two of us.
Even to this day I only have one or two people to truly share with and I’m still broke.
The difference now however is that I made decision to realize that the holidays are mostly aimed for children and also took note that there are many out there who don’t celebrate this holiday; some for religious reasons and others whom simple find it foolish and wasteful.
Know this; some Christmases will be grand because you’ll receive things you couldn’t afford yourself.
Other Christmases will be grand simply because you had good company even if gifts were not exchanged.
Some Christmases will find you alone as they have this one; while other Christmases will pass while you’re in more hardship than you are now.
Don’t let the failed holidays tarnish memories of the good ones. Don’t let the failed holidays influence you to take ill respect to the better ones you’ll inevitably have in the future.
Hi Cactustomato, sorry you feel alone. I think that’s a fairly familiar feeling even for those of us in company… I mean, who actually understands someone with schizophrenia? I had the option to spend Christmas with family but knew that coupled with persecutory hallucinations and psychosis it would be worse than staying at home. Hope something cheers you up though and maybe the Christmassy feeling shall reach you. Best wishes, mouse1977
