What do you do when you feel lonely

Besides coming to the sz forum, I often go for a walk, in summer I may go and ride my bicycle. I can understand the total state of loneliness which we all should avoid.

Sorry you are lonely. I hang out on the forum, watch tv, or listen to the radio.

I used to be incredible lonely. My social worker moved me into a house with 3 other people plus staff and I’ve not be lonely since. Its a great benefit to my mental health with people around me.

I can’t go out to socialize when I’m feeling lonely. It’s like going to the grocery store when you’re really hungry. You’re going to be taking things home you didn’t really want and what you get won’t be all that satisfying anyway.

I have to either listen to music, watch a movie, practice a skill or something else. I basically hang out at home until the loneliness goes away.

I try to reach out to people in my life I havn’t spoken to in a while. Just write a message asking about themselves and what they’re up to etc. Sometimes this leads to a meetup if they live local, but most of the time its just about touching base and exchanging feelings.

It’s hard to do at first, but you get past feeling nervous at some point.

I used to get really lonely. What helped was going on twitch (can’t stand the place now) and watch people live stream games and talk in the chat.

Always the right idea, IMO. Gets you out of your own ■■■■ to ask how someone else is doing.

I enjoy my own company. Always have.

Never a lonely moment with this Skunk.

I go for a walk in the park and say hi to everyone. Or I browse the forum.

I listen to the radio. I make music. I reflect on my life what bought me into the situation. Going outdoors and meet someone else lonely. Read and write a Journal. Keeping myself occupied till the loneliness passes.

I hang out here and in Say Anything. I’m chatty, but I keep it to a minimum out of habit so as not to annoy anybody. If anyone ever feels like jawing though and I am awake, I am always up for it, on the Say Anything thread.

I used to get lonely a lot when I first moved out on my own but now it’s very rare. I talk to my mom every day on the phone and sometimes we go to Wal-Mart together or run other errands.

I always have my radio or a movie on.

Taking care of my cat occupies a lot of time too.

Hang out with old friends from rehab or go to online peer support group.
