How can I get a life?

[quartzy]

I do not work, I study at home in distant learning, my daughter is now pregnant with a child and she is settled in her life. But I live far from her, and do not think that the council will give me a property before April when they will just remove me from the waiting list.

I do not have friends and have just gotten over major depression where it was enough to survive in the day to day. But now I think I need more, I dont know what it is, but I am unhappy and not living. I love to help my daughter and guide her, but her partner says I am too involved and they want me to stay at a distance, this hurts me terribly but it is true she has moved on and now I must trouble is where do I move on to?

I really cant think of anything that would inspire me, I try to live a good life but I do struggle, with poverty, loneliness and trying to survive in this world. I cant help but think that God does not love me due to this sin or that sin, and I will never be blessed as others are.

Sorry I am so negative that is just the reality of it right now.

The good news is God does Love you in spite of what you have done or even who you are right now. God is not the issue, but you can be the issue if you do not trust that fact.

You do seem too wrapped up in your own problems and that is the road to depression. You need to start helping others some way , you might find out other people are having bigger struggles than you are having, but just look totally at peace from your perspective.

I do some volunteering at the library once per week, and today I got some baby clothes for my daughter from freecycle, should I do more? I found it extremely painful walking with my arthritis hips, but I did some good today and try to do something everyday

Try a fun dance or fitness class, a new book, a new bible chapter, journaling, go see a nice movie, go get some yummy frozen yogurt. Make new friends on here who you can speak with daily. Go to bible study on Wednesdays and meet new people there.

Talk to God ask him for trustworthy and loving people to surround you. I'm praying for you

Great start.
Physical pain like you have is very hard to overcome. There might be a group you could join with similar issues that could tell you what they do. Support groups are great. Google one in your area.

Hi quartzy,
It sounds like you are going through a lot of dificulties right now. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and pulling for you.
What I am hearing from you is that you need to belong somewhere and you don't feel that you do right now. This web site may be able to help you out with that.
I must ask, what caused you to come to this web site? I know that there all types of topics here, very interesting discussions. Search your thoughts and find what is attractive about this place. Read those posts and learn. Don't stop inquiring because someone tells you the answers to your question. Search your feelings, other peoples thoughts, and read texts, including the bible to help find answeres.

There are people all around us with similar passions, desires, and dificulties as well. Finding a niche may not be easy, but I think it would be helpful to you.

But then again, I could be way off base. Like I said before, just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you.

RCF

Get involved in charity work and/or church for a start. It will keep your mind busy.
