Journaling can help you to understand your feelings of loneliness better and it is also a great way to relieve stress.[3] To get started with journaling, choose a comfortable place and plan to devote about 20 minutes per day to writing. You can start by writing about how you are feeling or what you are thinking, or you can use a prompt. Some prompts you might use include:
“I feel lonely when…”
“I feel lonely because…”
When did you first start feeling lonely? How long have you felt this way?[4]
