Has anyone got any experience/tips dealing with feeling lonely/being isolated? (TW: EA, rape)
To cut a long story short, I had MH difficulties and was forced to defer uni, moving back to my hometown where I didn't know anyone as I went to sixth form in a different town. I was working two jobs (one in an office and one a restaurant), which filled the void of a social life but obviously made me very tired and wasn't good for my health, so I quit the second one. I've moved out of my parents home into a shared house - I get along well with my housemates but am not close enough to socialise with them. I also had a boyfriend (who I met at the restaurant), who was EA and raped me, then went abroad for a job, so that has massively affected me. What a shitshow eh!
This is the first weekend that I've had off to myself in a long time, and all my friends are either working, at uni in other towns, or socialising with each other (but making sure to send me Snapchats of their evening, how delightful!) . Genuinely the only people I could reach out to are my parents, but they've had loads of stressful building work done recently and can't really have me over. It looks like I'm going to have to take my restaurant job back to avoid feeling like this, which I really don't want to have to do.
