You can’t look after your grandchildren, because they’ve got a cold. Your friends are irritated because you had to cancel. They don’t understand how you can be fatigued when you seemed fine last week. You’re stuck in isolation in hospital and everyone’s too busy for a video call. Half of people living with or caring for someone with AA or a related condition feel lonelier as a result. A third only meet up with someone outside their home once a fortnight or less.
