How to handle loneliness — right now
Moves for when the isolation's heavy tonight.
The house is quiet, the night's long, and there's no one to call.
— Right now
- Make one bit of contact — text a mate, ring family, even a 'how's things'.
- Get out among people — a walk, the gym, the shops, anywhere there's life.
- If it's heavy, MensLine 1300 78 99 78 is there, any hour, for exactly this.
— Don't
- Don't sink into the couch and the bottle — it deepens it.
— Later
- Loneliness lifts faster with a regular thing to turn up to. Worth setting one up.
