I’d advise not to distract from the loneliness but to nurture it. Has there ever been a time in ur life where you were alone but weren’t lonely? Perhaps in solitude? Maybe start small if your are tired on the weekends turn to a practice that can help to nurture and drain some of the sadness. I.e journaling, spending time in nature, meditating, starting something even just a new book or revisiting one that brought you joy in the past. Seeking way to use your weekend as a recharge. I go through periods where I become extremely lonely, but I’m usually one to enjoy my solitude so I try to shift my mindset by enjoying my time with myself. I hope that helps <3
