Anyone else feel really lonely and crap at this time of year? I get to see lots of people at work but it’s not quite the same.

Not attention seeking but just want you to know that you’re not unusual if you feel the same x

Yeah. Every year.

I try and find things to get lost in to help distract from it. I safe a few tv things to watch specifically after Xmas. A video game or 2 ect ect.

Its a tough time of year, after seeing people together, noticing your maybe the only single at an even, family asking "when you gonna get a gf/bf" ect ect. Do your best to glide past it however you can.

I think many of us feel deflated and down in January after all of the excesses and social events associated with Christmas. I try to give myself things to look forward to during January and February to help me beat the blues. As a skier I am very fortunate that I always have that to look forward to but it is also little things like arranging a night out with friends or visiting a favourite park or riverside walk and just enjoying being outdoors on a cold, crisp day. Keep smiling: you aren't on your own x

I think it's natural to feel a bit flat after the fuss and excitement of Christmas. Especially when it is so dull and gloomy outside.

Yes! I hate it. I've got tons of time off work and nothing to do. I live away from friends and family and I get bored doing things on my own. I like my own company but this is getting a bit much! Enjoying exploring the Carlisle coffee shops haha.

Going to the gym and out for walks and trying to relax, but it is a depressing time.

like you OP, I'm not attention seeking, just agreeing with you and weighing in.

Absolutely, you go from one extreme to another. From friends and family inviting you to go out and do things all the time, to people very often becoming hermits, after over spending, plus it’s a long wait from December to the end of January for pay.

I find it’s a lot easier to get people to go out for coffee or the like, than it is other things. It’s cheap, no real pressure to stay out for ages either .

I deliberately book stuff to do in Jan/Feb/Mar - I've always done it, e. g. A rock weekend, show and cheap tickets to Budapest, I find its the most important time to plan to fill.

The rest of the year tends to look after itself

No different from any other time of the year when you're single!

I'm not lonely, but it's definitely a tough time of year for lots of people, and feels like a long stretch until the warmer days/longer evenings.

I always book in lots of things to look forward to make the days/weeks go more quickly. Know not open to everyone, but can you book a holiday, OP? That's what I've done!
