10 Simple Tricks to Cure Loneliness and Depression

Let's start by stating this;

Feeling lonely is not a direct cause of being alone as it is very possible to feel lonely in the midst of a crowd.

Humans are social animals and it is only natural to surround ourselves with people and feel loved, cared for and at the same time, enjoy their company. However, this doesn't ignore the fact that sometimes, we feel the need to be alone to enjoy one's company, take a break from work, excessive stress and other responsibilities. But in certain situations when a person feels isolated even in the midst of people, family and loved ones, then such a person is suffering loneliness. This brings us back to the first statement, loneliness is not a direct cause of being alone.

Simply put, loneliness is a feeling of abandonment and that's why it is easy to think that no one cares for you while in the company of loved ones. It is a state of mind that occurs as a result of isolation or staying all alone.

Loneliness can be caused by a number of factors such as loss of a loved one, grief, living alone, fear of rejection, fear of being stigmatized by others, retirement from work and a lot more. The result of this is that it can leave a person feeling alienated, thus leading to a physical and mental health problem, depression.

Many of your suggestions are the exact reasons I feel lonely to begin with. Staying active, for example. I hate to exercise and the only way I can get through it is to remove my mind from the exercise, typically using that time to work on unresolved issues, which is why I'm depressed and lonely in the first place. I am a "person out of time". I enjoy things that most contemporaries do not. I feel like I was born 50 years too late! Old films and music are great loves, and no one I know wants to take the time to even expose themselves to something they don't know anything about. I help my friends, many who are in bad health, and I care too much, which exacerbates the depression/loneliness. I constantly feel as if I don't belong anywhere.

I'm gonna use this comment to let out all my pain, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
If someone could help me with what to do about this, I'd be grateful.

I'm feeling worse, pathetic, sad, sulking, confused, clueless, frustrated, exhausted, afraid, worried and scared.. my past pain and fears haunting me, I'm too anxious, feeling tragedic, sometimes I had got suicidal thoughts which I tried hard and removed... the worst is that I am all alone, don't even have a single person with me to share anything.. All of this causing adverse effects on my health too. My counselling sessions with the psychiatrist haven't been of any use either. Maybe all of this is also affecting my body, my stomach is affected, I've got acidity. Which has led to my doctor prescribing me not to add any sort of flavours/salt/spice/sour in my already bland vegetarian diet with only veggies and no egg/mushroom/meat. Apart from all this, I am a 17 year old student stuck in my home in lockdown, doing school from home, I have final exams in 2 months, I'm prepping all by myself. Zero social interaction. Too lonely. Worsening mental and physical health despite regular exercise and meditation.
If this goes like this for a few more days, I feel I'll be dead.I've already tried writing down my thoughts and crush&throw the paper into trash to lessen my mental burden. But that didn't help. Someone, plzzz, If you could help me out, please do reply. Let me know how to let this all out. I badly want to remove this from my system. I know all of this is not good for me but I'm totally clueless how to remove it all from my mind. Plzzz help
