Seasons of mild loneliness

are totally normal, but it is important to not let yourself stay in a constant state of loneliness for both mental and physical health reasons.

Also, feelings of loneliness can be a real obstacle to

happiness. To be happy we need intimate bonds with

others. We need to have people we can confide in, a

community we feel like we belong and where we can get and give support.

If you are struggling with the feeling of loneliness, know that you are not alone and there are steps you can take to help alleviate loneliness.
