Feeling really low tonight and cant sleep

I have been reflecting on the last 12 months, and feeling incredibly sad, I have work in 3 hours but really dark thoughts are going round and round in my head.

I lost my lovely mum 6 months ago, she had cancer and Alzeimers, I know its a cliché but she really was my best friend as well as my mum. I am in a job where I am being bullied by a colleague that I actually interviewed and offered him the position, he has now shown his true colours and is being aggressive and rude to others so I am having to deal with that. My long distance relationship is coming to an end after 6 years, I have had my eyes opened recently to how badly he treated me, a colleague said to me, that she understood as when we are lonely we assume any relationship is better than none.

I have 3 lovely DC in their 20s, my eldest DS is moving out and buying a place with his DGF, My middle DS has already left home, but he works with me so I know I will still see him, My DD is still at home but all loved up with her DBF (he is a lovely lad). I am happy for them, but its come to my attention how alone I am, I have no close friends, just acquaintances. I would like to travel, but not sure travelling alone would make me happy.

I feel like I am in a very bad place at the moment, and cant stop having bad thoughts, if anyone is awake and happy to chat, please talk to me. I am very lonely at work and at home and I don't know how to cope with these feelings.

I think I should plan more too.

A friend last year's new year resolution was to say yes to every idea or invite she got. She didn't tell anyone in case they deliberately suggested bungee jumping out a helicopter ! She did a whole load of stuff she'd normally not look twice at she even ended up planning and going to Nepal because of it.

Keep those plans rolling. This has turned into such a positive thread. Just brilliant.
