Spending time with friends

Sometimes when we are feeling low or anxious it can be really easy to slowly stop getting out and seeing our friends as much as we used to. For some people, it can be really helpful to try and break that habit by purposefully spending more time with friends and people you get along with.

‘Ringing for a chat helps you get away from how you’re feeling’. 

 There are lots of things you can do with your friends including:

  1. Have regular film nights or start a book club.
  2. Go for long walks or exercise together.
  3. Host a games night or play games together online.
  4. Make dinner together – each bringing a dish!
  5. Volunteer or attend a class or course together.

Making new friends can sometimes be difficult especially if you’ve recently moved or started studying somewhere new.  A great, free site to help you find new friends with similar interests in your area is Meetup.
