Everyone left work by 4pm and I was only one sitting alone in the whole floor at work and realized I didn’t want to go home because I have no one to go home to and I am so lonely and everyone has a family or partner to go home to, so I just sat there crying to myself at the office then cried again in my car at the work parking lot car, I think someone saw so I drove away asap

Get some hobbies to fill your day. You’d be excited to get to the next thing waiting.

I agree! I've gone through periods like this, and filling my day with hobbies like reading, crocheting, drawing, cooking new recipes, finding concerts in your area, etc. helps. Having something at home that depends on you (like plants) helps too. It's not a solve-all kind of solution, and it would be nice to be able to talk to someone that you trust about it, but it helps to know that you have something else out there for you every once in a while. Just know you're not alone though!

You will have all of those one day.
