This morning I am feeling lonely. No one is up. Slept bad because my thoughts were racing. Now I have to face another day. I think I am going to try to organize some stuff & declutter my mind. Good day is yet to come if I let it.
To add to serenity's post, making an assets list is a big help, too, if you haven't already done that for today. And finding something to do that is fun just for you. A sponsor helped me recognize the need to do something - anything for fun - at least once a day. I had pretty much limited fun just for me to about once a year. I hadn't even noticed that I had put fun so far back on the burner of my life. Just listening to one song I liked without interruption was often fun enough when I was conscious of what I was doing.
Acceptance is a wonderful thing eh? When I get the lonelies I find that just saying it out loud helps me to get over them because lonely passes, like a raincloud. Saying it out loud lets me acknowledge it and go down the path of remembering why I'm choosing to be alone rather than with the wrong one.
