What can I do???

LegacyUser

not looking forward to the weekend ahead at all so wondering does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do? this time last year was in a long term relationship, always had things to do, always busy, enjoying life alot... a year on, im single and not in such a happy place. don't get me wrong, im not really depressed, just not as happy as i was.

anyway problem is, this weekend is a long weekend. i finish work on thursday evening and not back in till the following wednesday, usually id be like, brilliant, few days off work, im not feeling like that at moment though. practically all my mates are away with their gf's, busy, no money etc...So as it stands, it looks like im doing feck all. i'll go mad after a few days. im a very sociable person and like to go out but lately i have no-one to go out with. wrecking my head.

so what does a single person do on a long weekend when they have no-one they can go out with? this is doing my head in....god i wish i had a gf!!!!

sleep, read a book, go for a walk, fire up your xbox, listen to music, clear out your old clothes, tidy up your home, go for lunch with someone....lots of things you can do!

Do some volunteer or charity work, especially with the weekend that's in it, there should be plenty going on round the place. Sounds like you could do with thinking about someone else for a while.

Ah chicken you dont need to have an other half to go out and have fun over the weekend! Why dont you look up some single buddies that maybe you've lost contact with? Munster are playing on sunday and im dragging my dad to the pub to watch it (my guys in oz so how sad am i?). So why dont you drag out a rellie to watch the games?
What about neighbours/co workers? Maybe organise a house party for good friday nite. Nieces/nephews that you could get to know better, take 'em off to the park or the Movies for some bonding time.
Or failing all of the above, if your not long out out of a long termer why not reflect on some of the changes in your life lately, (reflect not brood!) and see if there are any areas in your life that you could tidy up..

Yu mentioned some of your friends are staying in because they are broke, why not get a few drinks and a dvd and sit in together, you'l have a laugh all the same, its not all about going out and hitting the town

Times like these can be very useful reflective times, just because you had a boyfriend and some friends they do not define you as a person, i always think it says a lot when we cant sit with ourselves and be in the present,

Would it be the worst thing in the world if you were alone this weekend, what if you slowed down and relaxed in your room, tidied out your closet bought some new clothes and tried them on and got your favourite dvd's, had a lovely bath, walked a nice walk in the spring and just basically enjoyed your own company,

Until you fulfill you, you will always depend on others or something else to fill that for you,

food for thought!
