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 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€œI was where you are a year and a half ago. The worst part was friends all married with kids now. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ€

    David E. 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€
