Help me!

[lonelydreamer]

Sunday morning and I haven’t spoken to a single person since I left work on Friday. I’m so horribly lonely. I do have friends, really lovely friends but they always seem so busy doing things with their partners. I’m desperate to get out and do something. Anything. But every Sunday night I’m just so grateful that the weekend is over so I have people to be around for the next five days. Anyone else been in this situation? How did you get out of it?

That's hard op. I do understand loneliness. DH is a farmer so weekend means nothing. I have two small children and find weekdays ok but weekend is always "family time" and I can go days without seeing an adult.

What do you like doing?

Just some random ideas

A community type project, is there a local FB page

Dog walking, everyone speaks to me if I have a dog with me.

Swimming or group class

Check library for weekend meet ups.

Some kind of volunteering? Pet shelter or something, here always looking for helpers at weekends. Same with riding for disabled etc.

Walking group, again really friendly here.

I'm super rural so a lot of this may be completely useless.

There are some good walking groups in my area, something like that may be a good idea to meet new people?

Park run (volunteering or running), volunteering with Childline, making plans in advance (ie let’s meet next Saturday)
