For some reason, the closer it gets to Christmas, the more time i spend home, the more lonely i feel. I do live w/ parents (whoopee) but i just feel so alone. Like today, I heard of sooo many christmas parties going on, yet, I don't have any to attend so i feel like a total loser. I need to get outta my fear zone and join a group or 2 from church so i can meet new people and make new friends. I've skipped going to church for almost 2 months now.

I just feel lonely/empty inside. I want human interaction. I do get to hang out w/ a friend usually once a week, but, inwardly, i want more then just that. I just can't deal w/ being home, not in the winter anyway because, i'm literally stuck inside. I guess this post sorta goes along w/ my other thread "winter blues",

My one friend told me to take vitamin d to help me w/ my winter depression. I have been taking it almost everyday but, idk, it doesn't seem to be helping me much.

I dislike that during the week, i wake up, and drive to work in the dark, when i leave work, i drive home in the dark. I am really really thinking of moving down south somewhere but, what is keeping me here is the few friends that i have.

I have well 1 really really good friend and i don't want to leave this state because of him because i don't think i'll ever find as good of a friend as him ever again. I prayed for several years for at least 1 friend, and then God brought this friend into my life and i thank him everyday for this friend as I could never have asked for a better friend.

Sigh.... and the winter hasn't even officially started yet

I'll be spending another day home tomorrow w/o being able to go out anywhere or do anything. Maybe i'll spend my time wrapping presents or idk....

I want to stop feeling unhappy and depressed. I Hate feeling like this. It's sooo not nice.....

This time of year is kinda droopy,blue,with short days. Keep up the D3. Just think that after Dec 21/22 everyday gets longer. That helps me. And...do your best to get out and become more engaged socially. I know that's not easy but look for groups,night classes at a community college and even if you don't meet someone special it's good for you mentally.

I get a big lift by simply walking a couple miles. I wish you the best.

It's common for people to feel that way around the holidays. But not everyone is enjoying the parties/family they are obligated to be around during the holidays. My friends are depressed that they have to go spend an entire week with certain family members in another state. I'm grateful that at least I'm not obligated to be somewhere I don't wanna be.

Why not try volunteering for soup kitchen or some cute children clothing places for the holiday? Or join a really long mass. I'm not Catholic, but Catholic Christmas masses kind of cheer me up sometimes.

Or even go take a road trip to New York for the countdown. Anything to keep your mind preoccupied.

Holidays used to give me the blues until I found ways to try and beat it.

Vitamins don't do too well if they are isolated and often times your body rejects it. Your best bet for vitamin d is looking at the sun for 10-30 seconds right as its rising (not when its up in the sky, you dont want to go blind lol) It boosts it up quite a lot. I remember losing depression and getting a feeling of happiness doing that every day for a week. Just a suggestion, it seems off the wall I know. You can get vitamin d from basking in it but it will be to a MUCH lesser degree.

The best way to get rid of depression is to be proactive and get stuff done. The more things you get done the better you will be. Sin is often a reason for depression as well, at least for me. A sin can ruin my day unless I correct my steps. I have learned that although sin can be 'fun' or maybe 'easier' the price for it is not worth it. I love the inner peace the Spirit grants me through obedience and faith.

Ive gotten rid of depression through unhealthy means... I dont suggest those though. Maybe find an internet text buddy to talk to.

more than just friends?

That's cause you need vitamin B12

sounds like someone needs to get asked out.

Reorganize your whole house, purge the clutter, move the decorations and really feng shue the place. it'll feel like you moved to a new house.
