emptiness and sadness

[knw1991]

im trying to overcome the sadness and emptiness i feel. i cant focus in school without thinking of how alone, empty, and sad I feel. I dont like being alone because i have to face my pain alone. Im not content in just being me or being alone. I feel envious of those who are in relationships or getting married. I guess i just want a relationship to make me feel loved. I know its wrong to seek human love, because only God's love is perfect, but i dont know how to trust God when He says He loves us and is with us. This hurts i dont want to be alone. i dont know what to do with my life after graduation from college which is in August of this year. I have a career in mind but i dont know if i'll be truly happy and i dont know if i have the mental strength to make it in the program for that career, because i become depressed and overwhelmed when i have to study a lot.

i feel so lost in life and hurt. i wish God would remove this pain from me. It feels like i have a ton of bricks on my chest.

It's not wrong to desire human companionship and love, it's just that we shouldn't seek complete fulfillment from it, because that can only come from God and his love. Sorry about the pain you're going through. Pray about a career and what it is that you should pursue. If you are truly seeking God and his plan for your life, then he will lead and guide you.

Have you seen a doctor or counselor. I found that doing that helps me a great deal. It is hard to feel so alone. Can you get a pet? That has helped me to. I have a great dog that is a companion to me. Have you tried finding offline support groups? There are groups for everything. Actually I am going through a phase where I don't want to be around a group of people but in the past it has helped. Keep on letting us know how you are doing. People here really care and I hope coming to this forum is helping you. It has helped me greatly. I am praying for you dear heart.

i would like to have a dog, but i dont think i can afford taking care of one and i dont think my stepdad wants a pet in the house . how would i find offline support groups? i think that would help but i dont have a car to get to them or money to pay for a christian counselor.

maybe i should just give up on ever having a relationship, most of the men in my life have ignored me, besides my brother
