• 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.

My boyfriend is at work today. He's hasn't been that talkative lately. And all my text messaging friends just stopped talking to me for like 4 to 5 days now :(. I'm like working on stuff on my own but I get down when there's no one to talk to for a while.

It happens. Make use of the time in solitude. Is there a park or cafe you can just sit and enjoy in? Maybe a museum? Is there maybe a family member you haven't check up on yet? Maybe an old friend you would love to catch up with? Maybe stop by a relative's place just because and chill with? Or a free event near your area that you can google and go to? Or even take time to study the word more? Maybe a tv show you've been trying to watch but didnt have the chance to.

I find that there are more places I can go, thus more chances to talk to random people, when I am travelling in solitude.

How about if , as He has done, the Creator Yahweh Sovereign Almighty invited you to the prayer closet for a talk ?

Like Jesus told Martha - leave Mary alone for there is only one thing that is important, and Mary has chosen it. (to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to Him).

Great suggestions above, not much else to add. I think all you could do is wait patiently and keep it simple. What I like to do is go for a walk to enjoy the surroundings and thinking about how good life is thanks to God. It's a nice way to appreciate him and set the mind on something comforting. Another I've done a couple times helping when I felt down was sing a psalm to him (tried to sing :notlistening:). Also don't forget about your holy family as you could come online here, plenty of forums and topics. If you couldn't find anything you want to talk about, start your own topics and let others join you.

And you have no girl friends you can ring for a gosip, or go for a coffee with?

No not really I mean I have friends that are girls but they live far away and I don't gossip and girl talk really lol I'm an INTJ female so I don't have too many female friends/ hardly any friends in general.

Which makes all the more important that you build relationships with others.
You have a problem that you are lonely.
The solution is to make friends through mutual activities and events.
