Hi IM's,
How did you cope?
Im a single mum, and have recently found myself so lonely. I was in a relationship for 2 years and that ended on good terms but could never go back.
The days are fine but the nights is when I'm loneliest.
I don't get out often enough to meet anyone.
How did everyone cope?
How did you cope? What did you do?

I got hobbies and learnt how to enjoy my own company. I found if I had something to do loneliness didn't come into it.
Plus so many ways to reach out to people these day. Joining a Facebook group that fits with a hobby you do for example.
Bedroom makeover make it your own sanctuary. Do things for you and things you enjoy or have wanted to do. Join groups or just find yourself little projects. Find a good show. I find it goes too fast but also that i m not meeting people. Need to do something outside the home and also start budgeting a night time sitter so I can go on single ladies nights out (always being organized on local Facebook groups) or even just take myself to thee movies. Jeez maybe even find someone on pof and go on a date.
I was with my partner for 8 years and we separated at the end of last year (on good terms, like yours). At first the loneliness at night killed me. It seemed to be never-ending, especially on the weekends that he had the kids. I've learnt to love my own company. I listen to music, draw, watch movies, choose a tv serious on netflix and binge-watch every episode, read books, write stories and poems and songs, enter online competitions, chat to friends on Facebook, my house is pretty much immaculate lol! As another poster said, give your bedroom a makeover. This is one of the first things I did. This is YOUR space now, make it your own. I filled my room with all the things and colours my ex would never have liked. On weekends when I don't have my kids I take small trips to stay with friends and family that live in other towns close by.
