I need to get help to get through the next couple of days. I'm in a new town and I'm starting my new job in a week. I don't know anyone in this town other than my boyfriend. But our relationship is really bad and we're about to break up. Right now we're on a break but I now that this relationship is not going to last by the way he have treated me.


What can I do to distract myself from all the negative emotions and feeling of loneliness?

Hi,

I also moved to a new place not too long ago and I did not know anyone but my family at the time. There are different customs and people here than my original home, and I'm terrified that I'll make them angry if I do something wrong. However, I'm now fine. I went to some clubs to find people who have the same hobbies and interests as me, and then I meet a lot of new good friends. Although the process was awkward and even embarrassing, the result was good. Now I know almost every neighbor and live happily. Everyone is friendly and helpful to each other. You an also try to communicate with others more, so that you can make more friends.

Hi there, do you plan on staying there even though the only person you know seems to be someone who won’t be in your life any longer?


do the same things you’d do if you weren’t there (ie hobbies activities) and if you want to connect with the community find community centers or events or churches
