> I literally spend MOST of every single day alone...except when I have class or work, and then I spend it "alone in a group."
**** Me too. I'm also a student. I think you would be surprised at the number of people who do.
>
> I have literally made TWO friends at my school. Both of them have boyfriends and consequently are often busy on weekends, Friday & Saturday nights, etc.**** I get that. I hate when my friends are all busy with their boyfriends and I can't see them.
>
> I am starting to worry. It can't possibly be good to spend so much time alone. I still have my boyfriend, but our relationship is just hanging by a thread and because of his schedule I don't see much of him anyway.**** Try to smile at people, say hi in class. Eventually maybe more friends will come along. Easier said than done, I know.
>
> Help!! The big events in my week are classes and my therapist appointment.**** ME TOO!!! I go to class, I go to therapy, and I have a part-time job. I do like the job because I interact with people there. Is there a job you could get so you wouldn't feel alone all the time? Just a few hours a week?
There are some weekends when I literally do NOTHING except my reading for school and watching tv.
**** There are many weekends where I do this. Even when I have every intention of doing other things, too.
I have been so depressed and once I get into a pattern (and lose touch with the few friends I do have) it is impossible to start making plans. I have almost no hobbies and sadly the close "phone friends" (from home) I've had are more distant now. Maybe they sense the depression and that's driving them away?
**** I don't know, but I know the depression feeling. It's hard being so isolated. Try to reach out a little tiny bit. What does your T say about being alone?
