Any ways to fight off loneliness I seem to be suffering really badly with recently. I've always been on my own, not had many friends keep friends distant etc but do have a couple of close friends,never really had a relationship but loneliness really seems to be affecting me more recently. 

I'm struggling with the loneliness more recently and after a short break with my friends it's highlighted how lovely I am

I crave to have a relationship but I see no way it can happen and my mental health makes it difficult to make new friends so a relationship is way off.. 

I'm trying to exercise but although it fills the void somewhat my loneliness is still there because I'm on my own
