Sharing Our Innermost Thoughts

Feeling lonely isn’t a mental health problem. But having a mental health problem can increase feelings of loneliness. For example, if you’re struggling with your mental health, you may:

-Avoid social events and activities you usually enjoy
-Have low self-esteem
-Find it hard to try new things and worry about engaging with others
-Find it difficult to speak to people about how you’re feeling, for fear of stigma or not being understood
-Feel like you could be a burden to others
-Feel overwhelmed in busy public places, or at work events and parties
