What to do when you're lonely and depressed?

I meditate! I'm a strong believer in centering yourself on the here and now when times get really tough. On my worst days, I've found myself on a yoga mat.

You cant really "do" anything but to try an distract yourself. Depression doesn't go away in 3 seconds, it holds on and it's there. You just need someone who will distract you if you want to temporarily feel better.

I draw. And listen to music or talk to my friends.... it's good to talk to friends cause they help.

I open Calm app and meditate until my body is relaxed, then I think about friends and family, fun times and daredevil moments, relaxing walks and serene chats. :)

music. reading, writing, painting. just ponder and let all the emotions wash over. anything as long as it includes acceptance of myself. oh, and definitely just going out for a walk and look for what makes life beautiful

From personal experience the best thing to do when feeling low or depressed is turning to close family and friends, people that you trust. Another can be doing little things that you enjoy such as playing a game, reading, going for a walk, listening to music. Writing down how you feel and why you feel like this can help because you're reflecting on how you became so depressed and lonely. Make goals and achievements you would like to do in life and start by completing a little goal. If depression gets that bad one of your goals for the day could be to listen to music or to get out the house for an hour even if it is just going for a little walk. If it becomes severely bad then seek help from a doctor or turn to someone who can help like on here if you feel you don't have anyone.

Call anyone close - family, friends - and chat.

When i felt lonely and depressed i used to keep my self busy. I won't even give a space in my brain to let myself down.

Try find activities to keep your minds busy, such as: sport, listen music, reading books, meeting friends

I place my headphones on, cancel out the society around me, and listen to the music of my own world. I focus on that world, that palace in my head. Nothing's perfect, I'm not perfect. But just to focus on my life, my music tells me that No matter if I'm lonely or depressed, it will heal. Someday, It will get better. And when the music ends, and the days over. The somber feeling of sleep overtakes me. And then, when I wake up, It's a new day. My story has refreshed and began anew. The music will start again and so will my story.
