Supporting someone through loneliness can be meaningful, but it can also take a lot of emotional energy.
If you're supporting someone who relies on you for connection, it's natural to want to help in every way you can. But it's important to remember that you don't need to fix everything on your own.
Sometimes, simply being there, listening and showing you care can make a meaningful difference.
Looking after your own wellbeing matters too. Taking time to recharge, whether that's going for a walk, spending time outdoors or catching up with someone you trust, can help you maintain your own wellbeing while continuing to support others.
