feeling depressed:-(

[Faithfulandtrue]

I needed a place to vent anonymously about how I've been feeling lately. So I just turned 23 this year and honestly feel like crud about myself. There are people at church my age who are already married seems like everyone at work is in a relationship and two girls engaged one my age and one younger than me. which to be honest on the inside I wish I could go a day of work without hearing about it. I've never had a boyfriend and I feel like if I at least had one at one time I would feel better about myself. I hate it. I stopped listening to a 'christian' radio station I used to like because it seemed like they talk more about marriage than God. Church I feel the same way. A guy who broke my heart I few years back is now married.on the outside I'm wearing a mask of being happy and okay but on the inside I'm so sad.:'(

I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like they really marry early where you are from.

 

[redblue22]

@Faithfulandtrue And an interesting profile you have. It appears I tried to start a conversation with you once.

 

[Faithfulandtrue]

Yes I think I remember a few months back. I come and go on this site allot lol. Did you once say that my page won't let me receive pm? I'm not sure how to fix it

 

[redblue22]

lol, that's the one.

 

[Faithfulandtrue]

lol, that's the one.

Lol yeah I'm sorry about that. Ever since they changed CF I had to relearn everything on here lol

I'm guessing it is under user panel, select privacy. that is just a guess. but I bet it might open the door for other people who like talking private. but that isn't really the topic you started. I was just saying it is good to hear from you again.

I agree that it is too young to be getting married. When I'm surrounded by it I can't help but feel like is there something wrong with me? Lol

I'll have to try that and see if I can fix it. Thank you it was good to hear from you again too

I don't know what is the right age to marry. In the US culture 23 is considered early. But go back in time, 23 was a bit late in the US. Some people put their work first and wait a long time. Some people just feel in love and don't care what comes. How do you feel about yourself?

To be honest I feel really bad about myself when I see other people who got married at my age. I know we shouldn't compare ourselves but I can't help but feel this way:-( someone on here ,probably meant well, said "some people just mature faster. " which I obviously took offense like what is tat supposed to mean Lol

 

[Faithfulandtrue]

I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick.

 

[sundewgrower]

It's not as at all. I understand your situation and find it very difficult to handle.

Well, that isn't very nice what they said. When I think of people who married early on, I think of a lot of people who got divorced or privately expressed they wish they waited. I also think of married people who took a little too much interest in my dates. (some married people are too flirty, and some think they are relationship experts)

What are you doing with your time now? Are you in school? working? inbetween? trying to find someone? the possibilities are really endless, and I am just picking out the boring ones. There are no really important questions. I wonder who you are at where you are at.

What is the short end of the stick?

 

[High Fidelity]

I think you're doing alright. I wouldn't advise anyone in good conscience to marry if they were younger than 25 anyway.

Keep at it

 

[sundewgrower]

It isn't easy to handle for some people.
Personally what might drive me to relocation is I can be in a city full of people, and not on a desolate island.

Sorry you are feeling depressed, I also think you are doing fine, but of course it's easier said than actually doing it. It's tough being on a your own and especially since you've never had a boyfriend, you are doubting yourself. Having a partner/boyfriend/husband shouldn't define you, though society tells us too, and as women it is hard to detach ourselves from the pressures society tells how we should measure our worth in the world. BREATHE

Firstly what do you do in your spare time ? Have you got the chance to hang out or get to know someone ?


I will pray for you x

So I just turned 23 this year

You're 23! This is way too young to be worrying about being single. Relax, be patient and confident, get out and meet people, and in some time - might be a few months, might be a few years - you'll meet someone amazing to share your life with, and you won't be able to understand what you were ever worried about.

I'm 23 years old too and also I also never has a girlfriend. But, I try to get out from my depressed. What I know is God is more real than my problem. God even more real than anything around me. He gives me strength, I know that He provide my future. And if I scared about my future, it's a mock to God because when I anxious, it means I don't believe in God's power. And I don't want the situation handle my life. I want God and His Word handle my life. It's not an easy thing to do, but I don't have any other answer for your question. Sometime I feel the same feel like you have but when that feel comes, I say that God has provide my future and my fear, anxious got away from my heart.
