7.Depression
It affects your body as well as your mind. If you’re lonely, you may start to feel bad about your life and get depressed. And depression can be isolating, so you start to feel even worse. If you have symptoms that are severe or last more than two weeks — including feeling down or hopeless, less interest in things you usually enjoy, low energy, sleep problems, or appetite changes — get help. Tell your doctor or call a counselor.
8.Weight Gain
You’re more likely to add pounds when you’re lonely. Why? You might eat more than usual or unhealthy foods to soothe yourself, or you might stop your workouts. This can make you feel worse about yourself and may also make you more likely to get conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. So if your weight is going up, it’s a good idea to look at your emotions, as well as your diet and exercise.
