Discussion Anyone Else Alone on Christmas?

[Peaceful Departure]

It's my first Christmas alone. Wondering if anyone else is or has been in a similar situation?

Alone and as miserable and heartbroken as one can be, miss her so much

 

[Suicidebydeath]

I'm alone every Christmas but I can spend it with people online.

 

[Leavesfromthevine]

I have a teddy bear with me if that counts. Every year has always been alone with no family or friends and people online just don't have the presence someone irl does for me.

I have spent the last 23 Christmases by myself. Sometimes my mother is in the house but she rather not talk to me. So pretty much alone I have chronic illness so I am mostly bedbound

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes but I prefer it this way. Reckon by now, I must have spent maybe 22-23 Christmas period and New Year period and birthday's alone as in- I live alone and see no one. Eventually, they start to feel like any other day despite people reminding you that they aren't.

It's weird though- the first time. Do you still have people you can text or call? Do you have anything nice to eat?

It's my first Christmas in 10 years without my wife and soul mate, I am with my family who all really love me and my it's my nephews first Christmas, despite being surrounded with all this love and support I have never felt more alone.

It's a reminder of what I have lost and how I am just broken beyond repair - everyone has their lives and I am left in my desolate hole of loneliness.

I wish you all love and peace, the holidays are a hard time for those alone.

Not alone, but lonely. Have been a rough few last years for me, but this has been the worst. I live alone but is with family during Christmas Eve and a few dinner's.. I feel like they don't recognize I'm there. They talk to me, but that's only because they are wondering about something I know or they're bored and no one else is there at that time.
I imagine they wouldn't have noticed a difference If I was there or not.
I hate Christmas and all other holidays.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I've been alone all my life (well aside from being with family who I don't even talk to much to begin with). Christmas is no exception for me. I've been alone all my damn life

 

[until death]

I hate Christmas

I am alone.
But better to be alone then around people who make you feel invisible and unloved.
I'm scared but I rather do it alone

 

[BBBB]

Yes, alone.

Pretty much everyone I know is busy with their family. Hoping to hear from someone soon.
Nah, I went to the grocery store last night and they closed early for xmas eve so i've got eggs, oj, canned beans, and old halloween candy lol

 

[Abyssal]

I'm mentally alone. Around people but I might as well not even be here. I'd rather be dead.

I agree with you 100%. It's much easier being alone by yourself than being alone with others around you.

 

[грустная сука]

No, but I wish I was. Or at least in different company.

 

[Pg.964]

This is also my first Christmas alone. It's more painful than I expected. But I can cope with sedatives.

 

[greencondo]

Off and on (mostly alone) for the past 20 years. Alone consistently for about the past 5. In the past I was just happy to get the day over and behind me, but it bothers me a bit more this year for some reason. I don't even really love x-mas, it's just the gathering and wanting each other to be happy.do well for the season.

your first one might be tough depending. I still remember my first one without my grandmother, my closest relative, many years ago, and it felt pretty terrible.

 

[my_sundown]

Mentally alone.

I haven't had a phone call or text from family in over a year now. Being alone today feels the same as every other day. Wish you peace. Be well on your journey.
