How can I cure my loneliness...?

I'm lonely and depress because of my seperation and pending divorce....I'm about to leave work soon; don't want to go home because it reminds me of him. I don't have anything to do but to lay down and cry myself to sleep...I'm having such a hard time....Any suggestions on how I can cure my loneliness?

I don't want another man right now...I need to learn how to be happy within myself (with or without) a man in my life....

    Friends girl! Friends!! You cant just sit at home feeling sorry for yourself. Go have a few drinks and laughs with friends. It really helps :)

    It's going to sound weird, but a good thing to do is to volunteer. Be a friend to the friendless and you'll never be alone. Also, there are all ginds of meet up groups having to do with hiking, restaurants, etc., also hire a presonal trainer at the local gym. and then there are a lot of divorce support groups. I'd probably try to get out there as much as possible. Make it a rule that you don't spend more than 3 nights per week at home alone. Busy people are happy strong people.

    A stupid question would be, why cant you be around another nan? especially one who has no predetermination or expectation, of a relationship, beyond friends? You may find a bunch of them at church. Lord knows, you will find some healing there. I am prating for you, Good luck, and may all acquaintances be forgot. That's the best part of a divorce. when one door closes, one or two open, and it makes the finding the right one all the more sweeter. You need to have faith, and there is only one good place to get it.

    Don't get any stinkin cat or Xbox. You want to run away any new guy comin around have a cat. That's like saying I've got the black plague. Buy a guitar or keyboard work station and learn to do something worth your time and effort. If that's your picture you won't be lonely long.

    Buy a Xbox 360 or PS3. Pick up a copy of Skyrim and immerse yourself in a fantasy world where you are a hero and the world revolves around you. Gaming, because murder is illegal in real life. Thats the motto I live by. The alternative is drinking until you pass out. Video games are very nice outlet to emotional stress.

    Source(s): I was lonely once but then I took an arrow to the knee. ^_^

    Get a cat. They are great at giving affection but dont need your undivided attention. Take your time to heal. Make sure you go out and have fun with your friends as well. Move forward. Take it one day at a time. Some days you will need to take it an hour or a minute at a time and thats okay too.

    Be strong! You can do this!

    You could always call your friends and go to a karaoke or something... get your mind busy so you don't think too much about that... maybe take up some yoga or dance lessons... so many things you can do after work to keep yourself busy and go straight to bed as soon as you get home.

    try working for some voluntary organizations like home for the aged, taking care of orphans to keep you busy for time being.

    keep urself busy (painting is relaxing and could take your mind off alot of things) take each day as it comes and try to remember that this might be a hard journey but one day it will be all behind you and the happiness that will come to you will be extra special ;)
