Advice or Guidance for feeling Lonely?

[Australian_Bloke]

Hi There,

Without getting to much into my private life im feeling a great feeling of loneliness in my life at the moment, Im used to getting left out but recently I feel its hit a new level as I find myself in the holidays with nothing to do. I have gone down the path of depression and am trying my best to avoid it. Ill try my best to fill you in without exposing my privacy.

I dont have any friends I can talk about this issue, especially because the issue mainly consists of friends absence. I dont have a close relationship with my parents and my grandparents cant take heavy conversations because they have high blood pressure. Im no longer seeing a psychiatrist or taking medication (ssri - but I have been off the meds for months). So coming to this website just looking for some advice and guidance on how I can deal with loneliness, I have no interests or hobbys - sorry tried to keep it light 🙂

Hi Australian Bloke

It is great that you have reached out here when you are feeling so lonely and you feel like you need to talk. You can share as much or as little of your life as you feel comfortable to. We are not here to judge you or to criticize you, just help you out at this time when you are feeling so lonely.

I suppose it is the time of the year when people are with family and friends and there is alot of pressure about happy times and being with people, but for some it is a real reminder that they don't have this is their life and that can be really hard to manage.

I hear that you say you don't have any hobbies but is there something that you do like doing that can make you feel happy or even bring you some joy. I really like reading and I really enjoy baking....I am not sure if I have been helpful but I am here to chat.

Hugs to you Australian Bloke
