Gemeinsame Zeit
Starke Beziehungen geben uns das Gefühl, verbunden zu sein, umsorgt zu werden und wichtig zu sein, kann uns einen Sinn geben und schöne Momente mit unseren Lieben ermöglichen. Nach der Diagnose können Beziehungen jedoch komplex sein und ihre Dynamik verändern.
Top Tipps
Find easy topics
If you are worried about what to talk about with a friend because you perhaps have not got much news, find easy topics to speak about such as television programs or speak about old times.
As often as possible
Spending any time with friends and family is good for your mental health. Do this as often as you can and want to. Whether this is a coffee, sitting at home doing a puzzle together or playing a board game.
Support network
Create a support network. Find a few key people and look for any groups near you that you can join.
Socialise in small groups
When socialising you may find small groups easier to have a conversation with. Too many people and too much noise could be overwhelming.
Talk openly
Some friends may struggle at first with your diagnosis but try to talk openly to them about what is happening and give your friends time to adapt to what you are experiencing.
