I have been alone for the holidays for a couple of years now and yes, it can be depressing -- when I allow myself to be (was actually feeling it a bit today, myself).  In the past, I chose to make the day about myself and being good to myself with all of my favorite things -- food, movies, a good book (great wine) -- include those things that you love in your day.  A day to -- first recognize the holiday, of course -- and then pamper myself and appreciate all that I do have rather than focus on what's missing.\n\nSome people deal with loneliness by giving to others -- I plan  to spend Christmas this way. Others need to take care of themselves before they can give to another.\n\nSpend your day by doing those things that are important to you. If spending time with your son is important and he happens to be with his father's family -- then make it about your son and plan/create a fun surprise for his return.

Hello. I am sorry you are feeling so low. We all go through rough patches from time to time. Generally we pull ourselves through it, but if you are struggling, maybe you should visit your doctor. You are not alone in this. There are thousands and thousands of people in the world feeling just as you do right now. Try to talk to a friend or family member about how you feel and ask for their support. I am sure you will get through this hard time.

Not everyone has someone who cares, someone to call or talk to, to share moments or holidays or special occasions with.  Many people walk alone in spirit. You ask a lot of dark questions...sounds like your heart is in turmoil.  You need to deal with what is bothering you and stop dwelling on how it makes you feel. Suicide is not an answer. You are a smart girl--think yourself out of this mental rut. The first step starts with you.

I just got out of a really bad four year realtionship and left all my friends behind because they were people I shouldnt be friends with anyways. I have no firends right now either. I have a three year old little girl and she keeps me company but I feel lonely at times too. I understand how you feel. You can email me if you want anytime. babypeaceful@yahoo.com

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. my mom pass away not long ago so  I know your pain, I can tell you that you never stop missing her and it's hard around the holidays. I will pray for you that God comforts you doing your time of sorrow. he already has your mom and although you miss her and still need her she is pain free and in a better place.

I totally understand, mine is Jan 5, and so people are always complaining to be broke following the Christmas Holiday. I am so used to it now so I really don't sweat it anymore. But there are some people that give me some very nice gifts. But most of all I am grateful that God has let me kive to see another Birthday. Somebody won't see their Birthday this Holiday Season, and that's pretty sad huh!

Do you feel like there is something missing in your life? Odd to answer a question with a question, but think about it. Yes you have friends and family around you that care for and love you. But is there that ONE person, or even just some one a little extra special? You could also just b going through a really tough time right now. And I know that nothing can suck more than having a bad day and coming home to an empty house(and cats don't count as some one to come home to.) If you want to stop feeling alone then don't be alone. Surround yourself with fun and up lifting people. Do a girls night, don't eat alone and don't keep to yourself. You're feeling down, so tell those people who care and I promise they will help. Who know you better than the people that you love and care for? So it's those people who could probably offer the most help and support in a down time for you. We all have those times when we're feeling down, so you're never alone when it comes to feeling down.

Love does bring people together for sure . For holidays does your family gettogether? Well thats love wanting to share things with those you love is natural . Love bonds us to oneanother makes us feel like we are apart of something special makes us whole .

This is a very strange phenomenon, one week holiday feels like an afternoon and vice versa.\nMaybe it's time to change of job, and try to do something more interesting!\nKeep your boyfriend though, seems like he's the right one!;)

ehh dont feel like you have to.. its only if your wanting to spend time with a certain someone. dont feel pressured, and dont feel bad if the case is that you just dont have someone that you would like to spend that time with. valentines day has a way of getting people all flustered for nothing.

I know how you feel- no relaxed visiting- just a mad dash to make it to the next get together.  Its nice to be invited to more than one place, but it is a strain and really no fun to have to rush through a visit or dinner.  \n     You have a good idea, I think if I were you, I would go ahead and separate for the day to each family.  Especailly since you have family that you only see this time of year.  That time is precious- and you won't get the time back.
