To the lonely at Christmas

[Night_Crew]

Akin to many others on this forum, I find Christmas to be an emotional roller-coaster, especially when reflecting on past experiences that were pleasant in comparison to how I have been feeling for several years now.

I just wanted to give a shout out to all individuals who are feeling alone and tired. I'm alone and with you.

Yes, I think the holidays can be particularly hard for many people, even know Christmas is just another day for me. I wish you the best.

Saw the thread title and immediately thought of this too. So same feeling as OP to everyone else!

I am so sorry that there are so many who feel lonely at this time of year. But even one lonely person is too many. The loneliness is like a black cloud that envelopes me. There are times when I am so lonely that it physically hurts. This Christmas is one of those times. I feel as if I could die and no one would find me until my rent was due. Sorry, I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself.

I am so sorry that you have to feel so lonely with family around you. You also are not alone. I will be thinking of you.

Thanks Night_Crew. I just joined today and this is the worst time of year for me. The dread starts in early November and won't be over until after tomorrow. You aren't alone either. So awkward around very religious family. I have to mask b/c they refuse to be tested and I'm having surgery in 3 weeks. Hugs to you all here.

Hello everyone. I also feel terribly lonely. I am sitting alone in my room, and I don't have anyone to talk to. I am glad that I'm not with my family though, because with them it would be even worse: there would be awkward silence and pain connected to the abuse they have subjected me to. I'm also sending hugs to you! I hope it will get better after Christmash. It's an especially difficult time for lonely people...

I know you know this, but let me tell you - you are definitely NOT alone. I've been sitting on the couch all day thinking of previous Christmases when times were good. So depressing. Hang in there it will be over soon.

 

[Marktheghost]

I'm just treating it like any other day and trying to forget that it's Christmas. It'd be too depressing otherwise.

Thank you. Sending you hugs

I've only been a part of SS for 10 days and cannot believe i spent this Christmas alone, lonely, and on this forum (don't tell the normies) but i am so grateful for all of you.

I have survived two desperate suicide attempts in the last month, and was aiming to be successfully gone in a couple of days so decided to spend today alone, to wallow and write my goodbye notes.

I had been avoiding the recovery section of this site, until today, suddenly feeling a shred of positivity (maybe it's the holiday spirit ha).

Merry Christmas you lovely sad lot

love, b x

I have ambivalent feelings. Mentally and emotionally I am very lonely. Though physically my family is surrounding me. The people who abused me and caused all my problems. I have the strong desire for a partner. But as the wreck that I am I do not have much hope to find one.
Not sure if I would feel better if my family would not surround me. Financially I am very dependent on them.
Being physically alone can also feel uncomfortable.

Thank God it's over where I am ! Next the new year new me bul%#^

A favorite holiday is December 26th. The even better holiday is January 2nd, when ALL of it is over. I too am alone. Every year, for years. I realize, are lonely/alone people invisible somehow? We are out there. You're not alone if you're alone, just know there are others in the same boat, even if you don't see them. Besides too, I really think there is a stigma about being alone and a stigma about being lonely.
