What should I do on new years eve?!
Question: I suffer from depression and the worst time of the year for me is New Years Eve because I always get so lonely. I don't have any friends at all and I get really depressed that night knowing that almost everyone is out having fun with people when i'm just sitting at home doing nothing. I usually sleep really early so I don't have to be awake for the new year, but this year I won't be able to because i just recently moved and there are a bunch of drunks who live beside me and they party really hard and are noisey so I know that on new years they are going to be very loud and obnoxious and drive me crazy.
So I can't stay home and I don't have anywhere to go this stresses me out big time. I have been also feeling suicidal lately and i'm afraid to be alone on new years eve because i might do something stupid, but i know i will be alone because i don't have anybody.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please don't think you're the only one who's alone on New Year's Eve. Because you're not.
I'm working till 11, then coming home to an empty house. I don't have a girlfriend or anything so there's not too much I can do. I'm going to buy some snacks, watch a few dvds and relax. Sure it's not the best thing to do but you have to make the most of it.
The next door noise sounds horrible but maybe you could rent a hotel room for the night somewhere to get away from it. Bring some stuff along to do.
Just remember you're not the only one who's alone. I know it's just the internet but there are ppl on here you can talk to.
Listen- I am someone who becomes suicidal without taking medicine. Although I have lots of friends I am a loner. What you need to do is think about your family and how they would react if you were no longer here, there is a reason suicide is considered one of the most selfish acts a human being can commit. as far as new years, who really cares about it? Its all symbolic really, people make resolutions and they never follow through on them. Why make a "new years resolution?" I think its ridiculous personally. Make a new resolution every day to make yourself better at relating to people and try to start activities that make you happy where there are other people doing the same thing: yoga class, art classes, etc. You will be around people who share the same interests as you. Good luck and happy holidays =)
