As the country adapts to being in lockdown, Stylist explores how to tell when we're struggling with loneliness.
we are now being asked to stay at home for all but essential reasons, including: shopping for necessities, once a day for exercise, medical need or providing care and travelling to and from work . And across the country, thousands of people in the most at risk categories have been asked to stay home – and not leave – for 12 weeks or more. We are now a society of isolated individuals – staying apart to help each other, but alone nonetheless.
It’s clear that we mustn’t underestimate the impact of loneliness in this uncertain time – but loneliness isn’t always easy to recognise, especially within ourselves. With this in mind, we asked Romotsky exactly what signs we should be keeping an eye out for – both in ourselves and others – to identify when we’re feeling lonely, and what we can do about it.
She continues: “In order to manage these feelings better, it’s important to first identify them. Loneliness can present itself in many ways – and sometimes, in different ways for different people. For some, it might present itself in anger or frustration, irritability or impatience. In others, it might be melancholy or emptiness, or even more physical feelings of sleeplessness, unproductivity or lethargy.
