Keeping the blues at bay! People tend to feel lonely immediately following Christmas. It seems that everywhere people went over the Christmas holidays was full of couples shopping or enjoying meals out together or walking hand in hand enjoying each other’s company.
Being a member of social group such as Active Retirement Ireland also gives you several opportunities to meet new people and keep the blues at bay! Speak to a trusted friend or to your GP if you’re worried about your mental health - A problem shared is a problem halved!
‘We find that January and February are our busiest months because of this’ according to Eithne Buckley from Two Hearts Meet Dating Agency.
Another option is to get yourself a dog and that will ensure that you will go out walking every day, which is a great form of exercise as well as being a wonderful way to meet new people in the form of other dog walkers. Not to mention the unconditional love and constant companionship that a dog will give you! The key is to keep the body and mind active thereby keeping isolation and depression at bay.
Eithne would advise people in this situation to get out as much as possible, whether it is to meet friends for coffee or to join social clubs such as www.meetup.com or you could sign up for keep fit, swimming or dance classes, join card playing groups, take up an evening class in your local school, join a book club or a hill walking or meditation group. There are several options out there and sure to be one that’s for you!
