Im living in the UK and have moved away from home to a different place miles away from my family. I thought it was the right decision at the time as I wasn't happy in my job but im having serious doubts. Since January my health has plummeted. I am very lonely, emotional and even tho I have a nice partner it dosent make any difference. I would love to make friends, I love films books and the country, im very passionate and romantic but am only looking for friendship. I want a best friend, someone to tell your inner most secrets to, someone to go mad over a new movie coming out, someone to meet up for a coffee etc, if your like me then please get in touch.

Hi @jordanna

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm sorry to hear that you moved away from home only to find that your health has gone downhill and you are experiencing loneliness. 

It's understandable that, even with a partner, you would want friends. You are always welcome to continue posting in the forums, if that helps. A good place to start might be the 'introduce yourself' forum: https://community.themix.org.uk/categories/welcome 

You can also check out MIND's page on loneliness for ideas on how to feel less lonely here: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/tips-for-everyday-living/loneliness/#.XN13DshKjIU

All the best,
