I am struggling, lost and lonely

NAS66392

Hi. It has been a while since I have been on the forum. I have a stable work life and I am doing well in it, but I feel that my personal life has become a real mess. I have no real friends, I have let my parents down, I have no relationship and I can't even get a place to myself. I don't know where to start writing, I just know I need to start.

  • You might like to consider asking your GP for a referral to a local social prescriber. Depending on where you live, your GP's admin team might also be able to explain how to self refer. A social prescriber’s (non-medical) role is to work with you to develop a personalised care and support plan that meets your social, practical, and emotional needs.

    The links below explain more (the NHS article relates to England, but the same model operates throughout the UK):

    National Academy for Social Prescribing - Supporting you

    In addition to using the directory linked in  's reply, you might be able to find some socialising opportunities through a local or online NAS branch:

    As a final suggestion, you could search on Facebook and/or Google for any local groups that might fit with your interests and hobbies.
