    Hi there 

    It can be lonely living on your own it doesn't suit everyone . 

    Try finding activities to keep you occupied like puzzles , coloring , reading , crafts and background noise from TV or radio 

    There are also local charities that run buddy clubs where volunteers will come and visit you or call you

    Sorry to hear your feeling lonely, I also live on my own, and at times it can be lonely even though Iv got family I speak to everyday.

    This is a great place to make friends and have a chat with.
    You should try it out, I hope you do.

    Take care ❤️

    Do you live in social housing or private rent ? Maybe consider moving to somewhere more suitable for you .

    There is no reason ti be scared of applying for pip the worst that can happen us that you get it refused but its worth a try.  It is stressful process for lots of people and takes a long time from start to finish 

    You may benefit from a care needs assessment regarding your living situation where ot will come and assess your needs and make recommendations for suitable living or adaptions 

    You can self refer on the gov website for this 

    Have you considered applying for social housing if put on the list housing officers can help with finding suitable properties.  Again there are long waiting lists for housing

    @Agnia

    Good morning I’m sorry your going through all this. I think @janer1967 has given you some great suggestions I think they would be good for you. IE the buddy program and looking into getting different housing, you could try for supported accommodation.

    Good luck and take care ❤️
