Hi
I totally understand how you feel. We all suffer is loneliness. We had to figure out how to manage the loneliness, depression and anxiety.it is individual. It might work for me but not for you. Do it trial and Error
There is no wrong way. I am a senior citizen now. Throughout my life, many times I suffer the loneliness. I still have not mastered it but I can manage it most of the time. Although, it is still difficult.
Wish you the best!
