The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

If you worry too much you will probably seem desperate and most girls will not be interested in dating someone who seems desperate..it's a turn off!
You'll probably end up married in a few years so please stop worrying about it. This is what happens though when you "put your heart out there"...heartache is PAINFUL. It hurts. It truly does. I've been there myself, more than once.
But it WILL get better.
Try not to think so much about her, after all, you were just dating a little bit, right?
If you want other girls to be interested in you you must get over this girl and stop moping...nobody is going to find you interesting if all you do is mope over some old date..Sayin' this kindly..
Try to focus on other things for a while. It seems to me that you believe you're OK only when you have a girl by your side. If so, why is that?
Thanks for telling him that. My little sister is a girl, and she gets turned off when guys pursue her a lot. She calls them "desperate" and "clingy."
Being single has a lot of advantages too. You are "free" to do what ya want, you can hang out with friends without having to worry about a partner feeling lonely or left out etc etc etc.
We don't know why this girl wasn't ready. But you shouldn't take it as if something was wrong with you and if only you had been "better" then she would have been ready. It just wasn't meant to be. Don't analyze it too much.
Focus on your studies for a while.![]()
Why wouldn't God hear you?
Try to think about your situation objectively for a bit: You've had a gf since you were 16, now you're single. Umm..so? WHAT is the big deal? It does not mean you will be single forever!!
So try to relax, get over it, and live in the present. Enjoy today today. Do things, go places, relax and chill. When you do find a new girl she deserves for you to have a positive attitude and to have gotten over an old date.
How come you don't go to church? Even if they don't have a youth group it's still a good place to make new friends.
Well I have been praying a lot lately and I just wish God would help me feel better and give me a hand, but it seems like he doesn't. I know I shouldn't care so much, I don't know why I do...just tough to see a girl I really liked walk away...kind of a double hit from my ex and her. For now I am just getting through one day at a time. I guess I should start attending my old church...I keep telling myself there will be another opportunity with a girl I just have a tough time believing it sometimes.
I encourage you to spend time with friends and family, you can watch movies with them too. I know it's not the same as being with your gf, but at least you don't have to be alone. Maybe when you go places you'll meet some new people too!
I think your friends are right. Let us know how it goes with the counselor, good luck to you.. Stay positive.
