From people who came through it

  • “I'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.”

    Tu T · been through loneliness
  • “I 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.”

    Tracey from Derry · been through loneliness
  • “I'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.”

    Jana from Nuremberg · been through loneliness
  • “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.”
