From people who came through it

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Moved for work and know nobody. That was my life. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back.โ€

    Tu T 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€œDear stranger, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was working from home every day. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ€

    Ginevra M ยท been through loneliness
  • 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€
