Loneliness Awareness Week
​
Are loneliness and social isolation the same thing?
Social isolation and loneliness are both terms which relate to a degree of social disconnection.
Social isolation can lead to loneliness, and feeling lonely can lead to social isolation.
Many people are both lonely and isolated.
People can experience different levels of social isolation and loneliness over their lifetime, moving in and out of these states as their personal circumstances change.
​
Research shows that we can start to fall into a cycle of loneliness: the longer we feel lonely the more we start to isolate ourselves.
We can start to feel like there is something wrong with us, or that the world is an unfriendly and scary place when that normally isn’t the case at all.
First and foremost, loneliness is a normal human emotion, but left unchecked, chronic or long-term loneliness can lead to mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
​
Come to the Carer Connection Centre and reach out for support,
talk with peers that understand and get help with caring for loved ones!
