This will be a long day...

I will spend all but a couple of hours today alone until 10pm. My boyfriend is a plumber and has a long shift today.

I really don't want to be alone for that long during the fragile state I'm in. On the other hand I don't feel like going anywhere because I am having a flare up of fibromyalgia, and am currently in a lot of pain. I would have a friend or family member come over but they all work except for my mom and she's sick.

I suppose I will spend a lot of time here, on fb, watching TV and taking naps.

I am feeling depressed with panic attacks already this morning and really hope I can make it through this day without a severe mental breakdown. I would like to get back to the woman that is easy going, happy and with a since of humor, I have not seen her for awhile.

The bright spot of the day is I do not plan on drinking.

That's more than just a "bright spot" - it's a huge accomplishment, a real thing to hold onto. Everything gets better if we don't get drunk. It's just the truth.

Stay strong.

Isolation leads to and then exacerbates depression. Thus, do yourself a favor and simply go to the movies....and stay there.

Hi, Toomuch.

It's surely a bright spot that you don't plan drinking. Every day which you are not drinking, you are making a step to meet that beautiful woman you've described. Don't let addiction hider her from you - hide your beautiful and happy self.

Look at this lonely time as on a special date with the precious person that's inside. She is wonderful, whatever BS AV tells you.

Reading and posting here helps a lot!

Take care, stay positive)

Loneliness is the biggest trigger for me to-as someone who doesn't really have any friends and surely no BF, I find it difficult to fill all of my time with other things. Please try and stay positive through your day.

i believe that loneliness is destructive unless you're doing something you really enjoy, so try to get out there, but after all i'm just a kid and it's your life so just try to make the best of it .
best regards
