I don't know who else feels like this. But dont you think this pandemic makes you realize how lonely you really are?

I only talk to one friend, my grandma and dad is unwell and on top of that I eat as much as I can to make me feel better, I literally bindge eat now, I use to be so healthy now I have put on 10 kilos. This whole cornavirus has ruined my life, lost my job, and uni. I'm just eating away my misery. Don't know what to do now.

Anyway sorry for complaining I'm just really lonely.

Hi Mathew p I to feel lonely through this covid 19 drama even when I’m around people ie family in my case. I’m an emotional eater and been struggling with my weight for ages plus some health problems that come with weight issues. I don’t have very many friends on social media like less then 15-20 max.
