5. Help someone else feel connected
Reach out to others – think about people you know who might be feeling lonely and make an effort to connect with them.

Remember that feeling lonely for a long time can make it harder for people to make new connections. It may be difficult for people experiencing loneliness to respond to your friendly contact at first, so be patient and kind.

Try to keep in touch with those around you too. If you pass neighbours or acquaintances on the street, take the time to smile, wave and chat. You could offer to swap phone numbers or create a local group chat to stay connected.

Think about making time to volunteer – it's a great way to meet people and connect, and seeing the benefits of your actions can really help to boost your mental wellbeing.

4. Share your feelings – but do not compare
Being able to talk about how you feel with others can help with loneliness, and hearing a familiar voice or seeing a friendly face makes us feel less isolated.

However, try not to compare yourself with others. Remember that many people may only share the good things happening to them on social media, so comparing can make you feel lonelier.

Plus, we can never be sure of what someone else is going through.

3. Do things you enjoy
Filling your time doing more things you like can stop you from focusing on feelings of loneliness and is good for your wellbeing.

Spending time outdoors in green space, doing exercise and listening to podcasts and radio shows are just some of the ways to boost your mood and occupy your mind.

2. Join a group
Find a group with a shared interest. Being part of an offline or online group or club is a great way to make connections and meet people. Think about activities that you would like to try out and look for groups centred around these.

The people around you may also be able to introduce you to a group they belong to. This could be anything, from gaming and singing to cooking or sport.

Also remember to be welcoming to newcomers and seek to involve others in the conversation, especially those who may be lacking confidence.

1. Keep in touch with those around you
Talk to friends and family. Sometimes a friendly chat can make a big difference, whether someone is around the corner or further away.

Whether you choose to meet up in person, or chat on the phone, via video calls or on social media, all contact can help remind you that you are not alone.

Make sure to check in regularly – most of us love hearing from people we have lost contact with. Creating a routine of checking in with others and being more sociable can be good, as it can make it easier to reach out at the time you feel lonely.

Messaging old friends or colleagues, or setting up a group chat on a messaging app like WhatsApp or Messenger may help them and you feel more connected.

Feeling lonely!?

Loneliness has no common cause. Sometimes it can be triggered by a life event or change in situation, or it may not be triggered by anything at all.

We all experience feeling lonely in different ways. This means there are a range of ways we can try to overcome loneliness, and we need to identify the help and support that works for us. It's really important to remember that loneliness and difficult feelings can pass.

While loneliness is a feeling we can all relate to, sometimes admitting we feel lonely is much harder. We want people to talk more openly about feeling lonely and the impact that loneliness can have.

Sometimes it can feel easier to reach out to someone else who may be feeling lonely. There are plenty of simple actions you can take to help lift someone out of loneliness and in doing so, it might help you to feel less lonely too.

Although Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is very common, it is often missed, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood in adults. Not receiving the right help or treatment may subsequently have a negative effect on various aspects of your life, including education, employment, finances, problems with the law, relationships, not reaching your full potential, and more.
ADHD runs in families, with significant research revealing that parents and siblings of individuals with ADHD are more likely to have ADHD themselves.

The main symptoms seen in adults with ADHD include impulsivity, procrastination, inattentiveness, difficulties dealing with stress, irritability or frequent mood swings, easy forgetfulness, and many more.

Adult ADHD is often accompanied by other mental health disorders co-occurring with ADHD, including anxiety, depression, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In fact, at least 2/3 of adults with ADHD present with other mental health conditions. In addition, it may be accompanied by the engagement in thrill-seeking or addictive behaviours, such as alcohol & substance misuse, internet addiction, gambling addiction, addictive behaviours with food that leads to eating disorders, and more.

Although there is no cure for ADHD, the initial step you can take to improve your mental health and stop letting it interfere with your everyday life is to be assessed by a mental health professional. A thorough assessment shall include different assessment questionnaires and clinical consultation with a psychiatrist, preferably face to face; however, virtual is also possible.
The management of Adult ADHD includes medications, therapy and lifestyle modifications that can help you to the best outcome.

Many clinics, including our clinic, can do the assessment and possible treatment.

Many people avoid seeking help with their anxiety because:

They are ashamed of embarrassment. Maybe medication is not for them. They believe the treatment will not work. Asking for help shows weakness, or so they believe.
