If I just feel lonely because I am not with someone...does that mean I'm losing it? I don't know why I am feeling like this...usually I don't. Plus, I have no one in mind...I'm just lonely so its not like i'm falling for anyone. I have recently lost some friends but they weren't good friends, I just got duped. I have a couple really good friends I hang out with but they are busy with the holidays and my best friend in the world is currently sick so she can't do anything with me. Is this just the holiday blues? People cutting me off in traffic, the crazy shoppers bumping into me...etc?

All Alone....
The world is spinning, but it's moving so slow. Your head is pounding and the noise is getting louder. The weather is getting colder and it always seems dark.
Your mind is running away from you and you can't seem to connect with the world around you. You strive to be happy, but that only last for a brief moment, like the clouds are coming to take away what sunshine you had
You think you're hungry but nothing seems to satisfy your taste.
You want to be around those that you feel close to, but they all seem to be so far away. All the things you used to consider to be fun, are now becoming of no interest to you.
You're tired of being tired, and the thought of isolation sounds good for the moment, but you struggle to find some energy to be up and about and then all of a sudden you crash and burn and feel like not doing nothing.
Sometimes you feel like screaming, but what good would that do.
You feel irritated, and almost to the point of wanting to cry. Boy, the mind just won't sit still long enough for you to catch up with yourself. Isn't it almost like fighting your sleep? Your eyes are getting heavier and heavier, but you get a burst of energy to stay awake, then comes the droopy eyes again. You do everything to shake it off, but the tiredness keeps coming back to beat you down. Then eventually you give in and go to sleep.
Well to answer your question, it could be the holiday blues, it could be depression, it even could just be a temporary thing. If your condition continues beyond January 2007, please go and see your doctor.
Get well soon!

You're just lonely. In years past, I have volunteered at different community charities to help me get out of the holiday blues. I put food baskets together, I worked in a soup kitchen, I greeted people and handed out pamphlets at a holiday event where I said Merry Christmas to everyone who entered the exhibit. These are just some examples. To find volunteer activities, do a web search for volunteer opportunities in the city you live in. Being of service to others is a sure way to help you.

Some people have a hard time being without a special someone during the holidays.
Remember the holidays are just a 2 week period and then it's 2007....a chance to make some new friends and make your life the way you want it.
Good luck.

I feel the same way.
I've had some major changes in my most significant and closeset friendships this year. (I lost one and one changed dramatically) Some really good friends moved to a different city. I made one new really good friend, though. Plus, I don't have a boyfriend and I am disconnected from my family except for my mother.
Commercial Christmas is all about the love of a family and bla bla bla, so these feelings are intensified these days.

No, you're not losing it. It's the holidays and it's the end of the year. Everyone's a bit more introspective than usual. Call some people whom you haven't talked to in a while and see if that cheers you up.

I felt the same as you for a while. Its just the holidays getting to you really. Being with someone helps, but it's not completely necessary. Keep yourself occupied with hobbies, whatever friends are available, and/or family and such. Go out to a nice coffeeshop or to some place in your city where you can get a nice view and just contemplate whats out there, it usually works for me.

Yes, sounds like the holiday blues! Why don't you get dressed in your best "I feel sexy" outfit, and go try to bump into some hot guys at the mall?

Sweetheart, have you gained weight over the year or you just turn 30?? If I were you, lose the weight or say you are 28. Happy Holidays.

Its Christmas try too look on the bright side of things and not be depresed. If your friends are true friends they would treat you better. Just hang out with your family this time of year. Your family cares that you are happy so talk to your fam they will probably have a few pointers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

DONT WORRY, BE HAPPY! -
