From people who came through it

  • โ€œI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. I stopped drinking for a month and my anxiety dropped a lot.โ€

    Tracey from Derry ยท been through loneliness
  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Eating dinner in front of the telly. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

    Jana from Nuremberg 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 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€
