Re: Feel socially isolated
Feeling completely socially isolated is at times quite crippling and a very hard space to get out of. The only way I found to break out of the pattern was to force myself to go out each day. When I walked to the shops I would only buy one or two things which sometimes meant I had to go back to the shop later the same day.
This worked well for me because I was able to talk to the person on the cashier and quite quickly they became very friendly. This was my stsrting point that allowed me to become less socially isolated.
Have you got any strategies that worked for you before? Writing here regularly also helps to break down that isolation too.
Take care 🎶

Re: Feel socially isolated
Hi @butterfly101 I know many members here can relate to feeling socially isolated. It can be really difficult to feel so alone. While this is an anonymous online community, It's good to have this space to help feel more connected. So glad you found us here! You are among new friends. Can you tell us a bit more about what you're going through? How have things been for you since posting the other day? Look forward to hearing more of your story. Take care.
