How do you stop from being lonley when you work from home alone every day?

May 142010

I work from home every day for my job. My entire department is spread throughout the country. I feel like I am going crazy not seeing anyone or talking to anyone (in person) the whole day. I go to the gym every day, that helps a bit. Any thoughts on how I can reduce the loneliness I feel or is just part of the territory of working from home? Thank you!!!!

I totally understand how you feel. I worked from home alone for a while and my husband would come home from work wanting to stay at home. I would want to leave my home. I would suggest getting a dog or some kinda of animal to be there with you throughout the day. Also stay connected with social networks so you can keep up with people of you like mindness. It is hard being alone but you can do it. I know I did. My husband and I both work from home now and I really enjoy that. Again get a pet!

    Go out in your spare time or get a lodger if you live alone and your place is big enough. You could maybe get a second job, even just as a maid. My Mum works in an office and everyone is really close to each other even the maid. They go out all the time, they even went Barcelona once and are planning to go to Madrid for their maids birthday.

    On your off time, do something that will get you involved with people! I know what you mean, I work from home too most of the time! I volunteer at the library book store (don’t have to whisper there, LOL!) and I get to talk to people for a couple of hours a couple of times a week.
