Alone on Christmas?

Question

I'm going to be all alone on Christmas and it's really depressing me. And I'm already going thru a depression and this is making it worst. What am I supposed to do?

Answer 1

no familys house to go to? then go to a freinds house if not come to my house the more the merrier, best wishes

Answer 2

I am thinking of spending Christmas alone and although daunting - it shouldn't be that bad. If you have friends somewhere close by, pop in an see them sometime during the day...not all single people are heading home to their family so I am sure you will find someone to see. Take yourself out for dinner, to a pub or for a walk and enjoy the silence/peace.

I am a little nervous (was depressed at not having the traditional family scenario) but I am sure Christmas alone will be liberating and as others say; it will go quickly.

I am sure that the stigma surrounding a solo Xmas is worse than the reality....

I have been alone a few times at Christmas because of work and it is not as bad as you think.You can go to a friends house or even here if you could.How come you are alone? There is always someone and somewhere to go. Stop being depressed my darling, it takes so much energy and it's such a negative thing.There is good and beauty in every thing you see and touch.Find it in this situation and embrace it. There is so much pressure around this season and so unnecessary.Happy Holidays little one.

Answer 5

I remember when I was single and living alone in a bedsit with all my friends going away to spend christmas with their families, I made the decision not to panick or get depressed. Instead I rented all the videos I fancy, bought nice food, rented good books from my local library and I tell you I did have the best christmas ever! to have all that time alone for myself was beautiful, I really enjoyed my own company, and the time passed so quick that I did not have time to cry or be sad. I am sure that with enthusiasm and determination you too can find something nice to do in Christmas, but please do not be miserable or allow the people see you miserable. Be happy! Merry Christmas!!!!!

Answer 8

See if you can do some volunteer work or join a singles club. There are lots of people who feel this way during the holidays. It's going to take some effort on your part to not feel blue. Try not to stay home and watch TV. If you must stay at home, try reading a book or at least rent a movie. Do not engage in mindless channel surfing.

Answer 9

go away, I mean I am so lonely because I am not even in my country but I got together with some other friends who are under the same circumstances and we are going in a road trip.
on the other hand, don't think it is christmas, think it is any other time of the year, don't listen to christmas carols, don't watch christmas specials, don't dress christmas like, only enjoy you are young and alive.
Foreigners are excellent people to be with this time

It depends on where you will be on Xmas.If you are going to be overseas or in a strange place,that may make it harder to keep from being depressed.If you're in your hometown,try to look up friends or brothers or sisters that may live close by.If that is not an option,you can go to a place such as a church or mall to try to make you feel better and make new friends.
