I'm feeling ISOLATED

RECALIBRATE GOAL:

Turn up your determination to find support in the unique way you need it—it's out there.

Unlike being good with solitude, feeling like you don’t belong can be extremely upsetting. Sure, you might find it easier just to stay home alone. But you also have the option to connect with companions, caregivers, mentors, affinity groups, communities or others you trust. Connections can be a good remedy to feeling literally out of it.
