Hi All Im usually a pretty upbeat person, but lately Ive just been pretty down- lonely I guess. And Im sure its just a temporary rut, but any tips on how to get out of this rut- or on how to distract oneself while going through it? Thanks

big hugs I've heard it's a very common thing around this time of year, since it's not very sunny. Try some light therapy

I find smashing things with a large 25lb sledge hammer tends to break me from the lonelyness. Mainly fruits, sometimes vegetables, depends on how far i can get them from the hospital. I've already said to much....

Actually chatting doesn't help much, but surrounding yourself with other people in person seems to a bit... as long as you're not surrounding yourself with a bunch of happy couples cuz it sucks when I do that.

And Im sure its just a temporary rut, but any tips on how to get out of this rut- or on how to distract oneself while going through it? Thanks This is going to sound odd...but I rearrange furniture. It helps! Its laborous and uses a lot of creativity (esp. when you rearrange you house as often as I do)

I use to handle it by goin to strip clubs, bars, and even one night stands; but I realized I have 2 sons that look up to me and I'd rather do everything I could to keep a smile on their faces even if I ain't smilin on the inside. Just waitin on the right woman to bump into me!
