Live alone. Work mostly alone. Eat alone. Grocery shop alone. Walk alone. Multiple nights a week I try not to cry.

Going through the same thing. There’s nothing wrong with feeling like shit, it’s a shit situation. I remind myself that the bulk of quarantine is over and things will only get better.

Taking vitamin D helped significantly too. Since we’re trapped inside all day.

I am the same. Also newish to this city so no one to go on walks with. Why I find that helped: Put on music, podcasts etc, something so it’s not so silent. Try to exercise, move, and/or walk regularly. And schedule calls with family/friends, whomever. I also have a pet rabbit so guess I’m not completely alone. You will get through this 🙏🏽

A part greatness comes from the ability to follow the light through the emotion of loneliness. Cry if you need. Crying helps to keep you from self destruction. A form of protection. You’ll get through this because you’re resilient and strong.

Always down to chat 👋🏻

My cat and frequent distanced walks helps me get through everything!
