Hi there,

It can be difficult moving out, away from home, for the first time. It’s understandable that you would want to be around your friends, rather than being on your own, especially in a new place.

When you are in your room on your own, could you do something to take your mind off the loneliness? You could do some work, or catch up on tv shows etc. Writing down your feelings and realising that you aren’t too far away from friends, can also help. Perhaps you could spend more time with others by joining societies in your university? This is a great way of getting involved and meeting others, so you won’t be lonely.

If the feeling persists, you could talk to your university counsellor, who will be able to help you get to the root of the problem as well as giving you more coping techniques.

Take care
