Social Isolation is all too common among people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I this video I offer 10 tips to combat social isolation:
10. participate in the online community. People who share your interests are out there on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and many many more.
9. Become a pen pal!
8. Set up a standing weekly phone date with a loved one or good friend
7. Complete some paperwork at a cafe instead of the home office
6. Take your workout outside of the home. Consider going to the park, taking group yoga or barre class, lifting at a rec center or joining a local gym.
5. Set up a standing monthly lunch date with a friend across town
4. Join a support group! Find a group right for you (ask your provider or check with the local NMSS chapter)
3. Sign up for a class at your community rec center! Underwater basket weaving at noon on Wednesdays!
2. Volunteer. It feels so good to give back. Usher at church, read to kids in a library, help with dinner at a soup kitchen.
1. The number one tip…GET A PET!
