Feeling lonely
Loneliness has no common cause. Sometimes it can be triggered by a life event or change in situation, or it may not be triggered by anything at all.
Feeling lonely is different for everyone and we all experience it in different ways. This also means that there are lots of ways we can try to overcome loneliness, using the right help and support.
It’s really important to remember that loneliness and difficult feelings can pass. You should not blame yourself for feeling like you are struggling, now or at any other time.
