💕 Helping a friend
If you find your friend is cancelling meet ups with you or avoiding leaving their house, then offer to take them out.
Go to them, so they do not have to leave home alone and offer to accompany them on a gentle walk in the fresh air or a visit to a quiet local coffee shop- whatever they are most comfortable with. But be by their side and aware of when they wish to go home.
