I can get that. It seems counterintuitive but sometimes Xmas can be the loneliest time of year for people who don't have family nearby/strained relations. The crowds especially make you feel very anonymous, and it's a bad time to break up.

I'm in the same position myself so all I can recommend is the practical things I'm doing: Find an orphan christmas function in your city, whether it be with acquaintances or just a public one.
Secondly Xmas makes this difficult, but hit meetup sites hard and just play the numbers game until you end up with one or two regular groups you feel ok spending time with. It'll feel weird at first but stick with it.. no idea if you're autistic or anything but I seem to be doing fine.

As for the actual feeling of loneliness despite whatever you may be doing, let me know if you ever figure that out. Distraction does seem to help though. Really hope you feel better soon.
