I only feel lonely for short periods of time.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Hi! I read a book or get online and go to http://www.ted.com/ and listen to a lecture or a comedic performance. You can go to any website and find things to do such as games and wordplay -those kind of things. I barely leave the house myself but I never feel lonely. Plus, I live alone except for my critters. Never lonely though! Good luck and peace out!

Answer 2

First and foremost you should realize that depression is not the result of personal failure or lack of will power. Depression can be caused by biological, genetic or psychological factors. Common triggers for depression (especially for college students) include transitioning to a new environment, academic difficulties, family conflict, the loss of a significant relationship, or concerns about the future. Depressive episodes can occur without identifiable causes.  What can we do about it?  These suggestions may help:

Take time to assess why you are feeling down because it could be an expected and appropriate reaction to a situation; But if these feelings  significantly interfere with your ability to function, it might be wise to change your situation or seek professional help.  Hope this helped
