From people who came through it
“I 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.”
Juha from Jyväskylä L · been through loneliness“If 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.”
Ngaire G · been through loneliness“Please 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.”
finch_lake · been through loneliness“If you are just starting out with this, I won't pretend it's easy. I went to a meetup and left after twenty minutes. Christmas was a quiet day with the radio on. The phone only rings with spam now. But I've learned that small things help: feeding the birds, a chat at the library. Try to find one person who will meet you for a walk. It doesn't fix everything, but it's a start. D.”
