Well, it’s going to be a pretty miserable Christmas for me, and I’m sure for others too. I figured it would be a good idea to have some place on Lemmy (I checked the Christmas instance and the last post was 2 years ago…) where those at a loose end could at least have each other for company throughout the Christmas period. Any ideas on how to make this happen appreciated!
I’m usually alone for more years than not at Christmas. Also Thanksgiving. Halloween alot. I’m single for every Valentine’s Day. I’ve got nowhere to go for New Year’s Eve since I quit drinking. Basically every holiday.
I sometimes wonder how long it will take for people to notice that I’m dead after I pass. I wonder who will pay for the funeral.

i’m chronically suicidal, but during a particularly extra bad time in my life i asked multiple people just to check in on me daily to see if i was alive so that my cat wouldn’t starve or be without water. i didn’t have the energy to talk so i wasn’t asking for a conversation. just making sure i was alive.
i had an (obviously failed) attempt.
a week passed after that with no one checking in on me.
I had/have the same thoughts. IANAL but I think if no one claims your corpse, the government pays for its disposal.
Let’s just get through Christmas before tackling the other stuff in your post. One depressing lump of crap at a time! 🍻
If it wasn’t for my support workers I wouldn’t see anyone for months on end.
