ooo i love this podcast topic so i'll try and give it a listen over the weekend - i think its one that more people will relate to than we may realise. even when if we have friends and family around us, sometimes we can still have moments of feeling lonely.

as for tips, a few that i would suggest are

1. Hobbies - finding things that you enjoy that occupy your mind can be great. it could be anything to help boost a mood. for me its reading and getting lost in different worlds through pages

2. Outdoors - i think even going on a walk around your local neighbourhood can be good. its definitely helped me in calming my mind on days i've been overwhelmed - plus the added potential people watching as you do it can help with those feelings of loneliness

3. Finding groups - i know for some this may be outside the comfort zone, but sometimes there can be social media groups that people can join to help meet new people (remember to do with caution people!!). finding local things happening in the area can be a great way of meeting new people and feeling less alone.

hope everyone is doing okay and we're always here to support and talk if you feel lonely
