• 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.

I don't really know what to say. I'm in love with her, more in love with her than anyone else I've ever dated, and we had some issues, but I think we could fix them. I'm just rambling because I'm trying not to cry again. I can see how God is working through this, it's just really hard cause I miss her so much. I just want to be her friend again.

Dear Aedin,

I understand your grief. Far too often, "love troubles" are dismissed as very minimal, while the pain is usually very deep.
But have a try to listen to older people who went through it before you, and to trust the Lord too on such an important thing: if she was not meant to you, this is a blessing, really, and even if you cannot believe it now, the pain will go away sooner than you expect. And believe me, stayin friends is not a good idea. Not at all.

Now focus on yourself and on your relationship with the Lord. he has something better for you in store:wait for him.

:( Oh all the emotions and thoughts you have inside from this! Believe me, anyone who has much age has been through this!!! And the operative word is THROUGH. We do live through it, this anger, grief, frustration, betrayal and all the others thoughts that go with such a situation.

YES God can use it... now you must trust HIM and His wisdom to guide you .... it could be you need this time to work on yourself and your relationship with Him. Being able to build a good relationship with others begins with one with God, and finding who you are in Christ Jesus... once you are a whole person, complete within yourself (with God) then you can readily add another person to accent that Love.

Be kind to yourself, don't beat yourself up over this, don't ruminate negative or non sequitur thoughts of "what if" or "I should have" or "she just..." No. Move on. It wasn't a wasted time, you have learned and can be better for it. :hug:

I do understand the pain of losing a loved one. I, too, have lost a boyfriend/freind who rejected me. It really is good for me that he did this. But yet I am very hurt by the rejection. I'm sorry you are going through this. Things will get better in time. I try to keep busy so I don't think about him so much. God bless you always in all ways.
