[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 478371"] Mwm...I'm not crazy about admitting it, but I too have problems with loneliness. Actually, I think it is a fairly common problem. I suspect that somehow the way our society has emerged in the last decade with such emphasis on things rather than people and technology in particular, it is actually slightly worse now than ever before. Some little things that I have found helpful...keeping the tv on OFTEN. In particular, talk shows!!! Sounds goofy, but listening to folks talk is reminscent of the old days, when people (women!!) use to chat in the backyard (or wherever) about current events/life. Other things are more typical...joining a group, going to the gym or some other place regularly so that you see some of the same folks regularly, volunteering, etc. If you don't have a job, you will almost have to create/re-create situations where you meet folks regularly...see friendly faces regularly for conversation. Make sure your medications and/or vitamins are in good shape. Some vitamins that I have found profoundly helpful for me include: D3, B Complex and Fish Oil. Sometimes, you'll just have to get out of the house...go to the library, etc. Oh and I love the idea of a road trip. For years, I always made sure I had two trips planned a year...one in the winter and one in the summer. This way, there was always something (even if it were a little trip) down the road to look forward to. Seek the advise and care of a therapist if you don't feel better soon. [/QUOTE]
