    I like to be away from what makes me feel lonely. I will go to the store (preferably the book store), or I'll go do laundry. Sometimes these things don't work so I read a book or watch a movie. I have over time learned to not lean on foods shoulder, but it does take time. You'll get there too!

    I call a friend, shop :happy: , go for a run, do crossword puzzles...I also think getting involved in some kind of charity or community service is a great tool for relieving lonliness. I got involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and it has changed my life.

    I get out where there are people - sometimes just going to the grocery store helps - other times it is the park. If I really want a pick me up I go find a pet store with some puppies in it.
