> And to fill the loneliness gap, I tend to work more, casually burning out myself and then ending up depressed and feeling overworked. This happened to me working in an office every day. I moved to a new city for work and lived alone. My friends and family were hundreds of miles away. Co-workers are not going to solve this problem for you I am sorry to say. They're a temporary reprieve at best. You're going to need to build some sort of social circle for yourself outside of work. You really should treat that situation as a major problem that needs to be addressed. You wouldn't drag around a broken leg, don't drag around loneliness and depression. Going into the office can't be your only in person socializing. It's only going to end up feeding into depression. It's not a fun spiral to get on.
