John, there could be many reasons for your feelings. First I want to say that you are not alone when you can reach out to complete strangers and have caring responses. But that doesn't solve everything!
If this is a new feeling, maybe you really are sad for a particular reason. Are you literally alone? If so can you find new ways to surround yourself with positive people? If you don't know many people, there are many opportunities if you are brave enough to make that first step. I think it helps to first meet people in a group setting rather than find one person to be close to. You might try a health club, dance lessons, a church group, taking a class, and finding social gatherings that are similar to your age, interest and marital status. (Sorry, I can't give great ideas without knowing more about you). But there must be some place that you can meet people.
On the other hand, if this sadness continues or has been there for a long time, there probably is a deeper cause that should be looked into. There is no reason to be sad and alone when there is professional help. If it is a sign of depression, a doctor or mental health center can help you. Sometimes group therapy is helpful too.
I encourage you to reach out as you have started here... and go in all directions to share your feelings to seek friendship. If that fails, try professional help.
Blessings to you.

Why is it God is always the answer to everything, but nothing ever seems to get solved? Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong believer, but faith only goes so far. Disconnection from a Deity can create as many issues as it's claimed to solve. Anyways...
Sad and alone... that's not a good combination. Finding myself in the same place, missing my wife, and kids... stuck in a country, banned from where they are... I'm feeling much the same way. Misery loves company? Look for someone who has it worse than you. ;) Alright...
Depression can be an onset to the feelings of such things. Sunlight, B Vitamins [nerves, brain function, etc], A, E, and proper diet. Hobbies, and I find listening to music. Lots and lots of music. Quiet distractions, having the TV on, or the radio. Something just to break the monotony of silence. Online games, posting in forums, and getting out of the house. Getting stuck in ruts doesn't help. Social circles, spending time with friends, family, anything to get your mind off being 'sad and alone'. Work does it for me... though I find myself working myself way too much.
Woodworking, poetry, creative expression, active use of what would seem a waste of time... take up art, painting, reading, even if it means spending long periods of time at the library. Educate, expand the mind, and stimulate the intellect. Not sure of the situation, age, or otherwise... find things constructive to do. Volunteer some hours... call the YMCA, join a gym, take up meditation, introspection. People watch... sometimes just the company of others helps. May not be the same as having that special someone... hugs do however go a long way.
Might be time to get all the chores you need to get done, well done... for some of us... winter is coming, and no fun getting caught with your pants down in 4' of snow... If nothing else... and interact. Worst thing you can do is mope around feeling sorry for yourself. Start a game night, get some friends together... go for a walk, contemplate existence... find a park... feed the ducks. When life just seems to suck, it sometimes helps... to do what you just did... Outlook, and perspective are 100% of the problem... unfortunately, there's no easy solution.
Avoid the bars, drinking... and all those other things that tend to lead to further depression. Nothing like filling a void in life with bad habits. There are always places looking for people with excess time on their hands. It does everyone some good. If it's really bad... might be time to find a good counsellor. Most of it though can be adjusted with diet, exercise, and positive attitude.
I suffer from SAD (seasonally affected depression), so the winter months become long and dreary. Often flipping to a state of total nocturnality [that even a word?]. Indirect sunlight really does help. Regiment daily life, we all need a purpose. Just find one that suits your lifestyle. When the dawn looks darkest, the light is often just around the corner.
Religion, linked to the hypothalumus [the center of the brain responsible for all the balancing hormones and things], strikingly when applied to some sort of spiritual purpose has a better time at regulating itself. This isn't a plug to join a church, but find something of a spiritual, philosophical, esoteric, or other form of insightful expansion. Just keep busy...
Depending on the focus of why you are alone, it might be just as wise to find a way to remedy the single life... that's another problem all in it's own. Wish you the best... it's no fun, but no you're not alone, in feeling alone. :)

I think most of us have been there. When i was depressed I would look out the window and wonder how everybody could go on about their day when I could see nothing worth getting up for. I thought I would never feel any different. But nothing stays the same. Now I can't believe I was that person. But I do often wonder if there is someone else out there now doing the same thing and I wish I could help them. Time does help. Never, never give up. I will be thinking of you.

Yes, always slit your veins longways and never use OTC painkillers they just hurt your stomach.
What are you a retard, why would you ask on line for words of encouragement and not even say why your down. I know why that would be more ammunition for somebody to use to make you feel even worse. I don't have any words of encouragement just some advice. Never tell a stranger that you are feeling down and ask them to make you feel better. You just put your but out for a sea of anonymous d*cks to plunder if your for real. Get away from your computer and hit hate beach if you near it, if not you should have killed yourself a long time ago.

Be with your feelings and don't judge yourself for having them. Feel them now, and then let them go as soon as you can. Imagine as you lie in bed tonight filling your body with a bright light, and let it shine throughout your whole being. Feel this new energy in you and wake up invigorated in a new state of mind.
Remember as others have said, you are not ever alone. Ask God (or the higher energy you believe in) for help and guidance.
Many blessings. :)

It will pass - it always does. Sadness is like a storm, hovering above you, hiding the beauty of the sky - but it is not permanent, nor is it the normal state of things.
To quote a song, "your eyes must do some rainin' if you're ever gonna grow"

When you come to the edge of all the light you know,
and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.

join groups of other people with similar interests; soon you'll feel like part of a group, whether you're alone or not...there's a huge difference between being alone and being lonely
