when you live a lonely life how do you stop from feeling depressed about it

I would say you are starting off well by interacting online , i think you should redecorate your apartment and candles..start meditating and workout.. I would say join facebook groups in your area so you can find some ppl to talk to locally.

I've never been in that situation, so I'm not pretending to know what it's like. But I think the best advice I can give is try to find social circles with similar hobbies. If you're into comics, join a comic club. Maybe take a painting class, or a cooking class. Join a hiking group. Basically, touch grass.

Get rid of things, the belongings you have been looking at for years, but get no use out of. Begin to free yourself from the same ols crap. If you have short hair, grow it a bit longer, if you have long hair, cut it shorter. Learn some new cookery recipes. Change things on one level and you create a new energy, one of change instead of repetition , create an expectation excitement and change and let new things into your life and see what happens.
