I have name changed because members of my family also use this site.
Please, does anyone have any advice. I have just been talking to DS(28) at present living in a large city 60 miles away, working 3 days a week, 13 hour days, covid testing. (His grad level job vanished in March last year before he could even begin.)
He is living in a shared house with 2 others, they are ok but not friends and keep themselves to themselves.
He is so lonely. His friendship circle seems to have vanished to 2 or 3 people. As he says, they don't really need him. They are in couples, or living with family.
He is desperately lonely. He has self harmed before and is talking of it again. He doesn't know where to turn for company. And he is all skyped out.
He would do voluntary work if he could, he did a lot in the summer with the local wildlife trust, but of course, that's gone now.
He says he is pointless.
He is so down, I don't know what to do to help him. He's had some therapy, he's talked to Samaritans. He needs people his own age.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thank you.
