Just want to support people with some ideas who are self isolating. I was on my own without a job after my divorce and I found it hard to cope with the loneliness. It took me about 4 months before I got used to it and could honestly say that I enjoy it. I now love my own company.
I enjoy looking after the flat I’m in, i don’t have a garden though. I use chat forums, social media, watts app friend groups and am learning Portuguese. Films and iPlayer also pass the time. I don’t like reading, wish I did, but I can’t concentrate on printed stories. I cycle and walk and use Les Mills video classes. Baking, also I have an old sewing machine which I keep meaning to put to good use, but I have to think of something to make !
I’ve offered help to elderly neighbours and family, and they said they will let me know if they get into difficulties.
I hope these ideas help o stave the boredom of being by yourself.
