@zeroturbulence , I stubbled across this post, and thought it was worth bumping. It'll make better sense if you click the link, of course 
. How's you?

I am going through the same thing. For me, there are no magical solutions. Like you, I remain active. I assign myself agenda lists every day, and try to make each day productive. I take care of the necessities, but I also try to leave room for other things.
While this keeps me from falling into a funk and helps me to get things done that I might otherwise keep putting off, it is not a substitute for good companionship -- of both same-sex friends and an opp-sex mate.

Hi Jilly!!! LTNS I'm doing well. How are you?
I'm doing well. How are you?
. Sad how we often can't recall the emotional support of others, I am often guilty of this myself . I will pray that you recall more happy memories today (I have found that recalling good memories is easier when I specifically thank Jesus for things that have happened to me, even when I am sad that that part of my life has ended or been suspended).Hope you have a really peaceful Christmas if I don't see you again before then!

I go to God - a lot.
I pray - a lot.
I spend time with friends - a lot.
Filling up your schedule might not always help, because it's a way of avoidance. It's a defense mechanism to keep you safe from feeling hurt. It's okay to be busy, but staying busy to avoid feelings is not healthy. Have a balance!
But, going to God with your hurts and putting on worship music will help a whole lot. IT has helped me in my loneliness and singleness.

Dont know if @jenny23 is still here...maybe not but...
You can be lonely within your own family if you are like 'the odd one out' ...you know how it goes, mum favours your brothers, dad likes your older sister and you just the odd ugly duckling.
You can be lonely if you are always the new one in school, or workplace or whatever, everyone has already made friends and is in their cliques and they dont let you in...
The thing is then you need to find your own friends and start anew. I know for me God sent pets, He gave me books to read, an appreciation of nature and His presence.
Church fellowship was at first hard because some churches were standoffish or the opposite and TOO friendly. I think small groups are easier to go to than big ones. You just got to be patient and ask God about things. His grace is sufficient. I dont feel lonely in my relationship with Jesus.
There may be times Ive ignored Him and then wondered why I felt disconnected from not just people but everything. Its something or rather SomeONE you need to make time for and He is only a prayer away.
