A warm welcome to Eleanor Rigby!

As you have probably already guessed, the name comes from that famous Beatles's song - Where are all the lonely people? A good question. Loneliness can affect anyone, at any time in their life, in any walk of life. Maybe you have just finished a long term relationship, or are in a relationship that makes you unhappy. Maybe you have moved to a strange new city, or are starting university and have difficulty in making new friends...Many people, more women than men, suffer with depression - when you have this illness it can be hard relating to people, you can feel cut off.
