From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was right where you are about three years ago. Back then it was friends all married with kids now. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ€

    Juha from Jyvรคskylรค L ยท been through loneliness
  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. It was working from home every day and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

    Ngaire G ยท been through loneliness
  • โ€œI was in the same place a year and a half ago. I remember when the group chat that went quiet, like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.โ€

    Brave Wren 8 ยท been through loneliness
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I tell myself it is a wave and it will pass. It always has so far. And talk to someone, even if it is just in here.โ€
