There is lots of useful information in our sections relating to sleep and also loneliness if you want to look there including suggested tips
We are also here to support and just join in there is usually someone around to chat to
If you have any specific questions then just ask
Sorry to hear that I dont know if I just replied to another post you put about the same subject
Did you post another new thread ?

When you say sleep issues, is it insomnia or something else? We have this thread about insomnia that has lots of ideas on for how to get a better nights sleep. Although if your problem has persisted for a while, I'd second contacting your GP for a chat.
It's definitely difficult with feelings of loneliness, especially during lockdown and if living alone. Our community is always here though, and I'd really encourage you to post and talk to people for company on days it might be particularly hard. You also might find our Coping with stress, low mood and isolation support thread a useful read as it has links to different activities that you might not have considered.
How are you doing now? Is everything okay?

How are you today? For the convenience of yourself and others I will merge your two posts into one
Have you been able to view any of the advice given on the other thread? I'll repeat below a comment given by my colleague Cher:

Have youhad assistance from your local authority in any way? Have you had a needs assessment from the social care team?
I wonder also if you have any friends or family who can support you at this time, or if you have discussed your struggles with your GP.
Please remember, you can always give Scope's helpline a call if you feel lonely or just fancy a chat, and Samaritans are always there if you need mental health support.
I have moved the discussion to our disabled people category for you.
