WHEN:
Thursday 12 May 2022
2:00 – 3:00 PM BST
9th-15th May is Mental Health Awareness Week.
I can’t imagine that bouts of loneliness don’t hit us all at some point in our lives. Even when we live with others, we can be visited by waves of feeling isolated and out of reach. It’s not quite the same thing as depression, but the impact can be just as debilitating. Alongside this, we can feel that we don’t have the internal resources to combat this sense of separation from others.
There’s no doubt whatsoever that the pandemic has exacerbated people’s feelings of loneliness, where we have had to pull on all our inner reserves just to get through each day, so there’s not much left over to combat this remoteness.
It’s not all bleak!
