Loneliness

[PeculiarTreasure]

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

I have yet another prayer request for you all. My allergies have returned and my nose is running and I'm coughing again. (not as bad as last time but just enough to bother me) Anyways if ya'll could pray this stuff goes away soon that'd be most awesome. Love you all!

Of course my friend!

Well it is not too good to
Be alone all the time as you do
Need company of family members
And friends as well to keep you going.
Life is too short.

very much so. They keep up in check with reality. if we are so alone all the time...reality tends to began to shift in odd ways. We see enemies in friends, and demons in every shadow.

Well, I'm finished with the opera for now. Sunday we begin rehearsals for Handel's "Messiah", to be sung in late Nov. in 3 cities here. One saving grace - I won't have to learn a foreign language!!

Futuredoc, join the club. In a way, I second what Sindyan said, re: being a "Nazi-style" dictator of a dr. I don't say this condescendingly, either (nor to insult you).

After 30 yrs. of not being believed about being on the wrong Rx, I check everything and question the drs. I would encourage you to develop good listening skills to listen to what your patients/clients AREN'T telling you. This seems odd, but there's a lot of truth in this.

Ask God to go with you everywhere and you'll be fine!

I live by myself. I just moved out about 8 months ago. I come from a family of 6. When I first moved out, I was SO lonely. I was depressed. Even though I accepted Christ after I left, I was still lonely because of the simple fact I rejected the presence of God.

I accept the presence now, and I am so far from lonely. Pray to God like he is your father, and you are a kid. He will fill your heart with desire, love, and happiness. You will no longer suffer from lonliness.

You must pray! I found that the longer I pray, the better I feel.

I am single. I love animals so I have a couple dopgs and 3 cats. I walk allot around. I live with my Grandpa we do suit each other and we have space for each other.

I do feel lonely at times but i try to distract myself by reading, going to church and try to focus on every day. I for me cannot handle a date i have so many issues to work on for now emotionally.

It is hard allot but only Jesus can reach my needs for now.

How do you deal with loneliness? Not really from not having a SO (although I've been there) but also from not having any/many friends. It's just something I've been dealing with for awhile.

Me too...I don't know, really. But I know that the place where I was when I had lots of friends wasn't where I am meant to be now that I have God in my life. So I just look at this as a transitory period while I am moulded into the person I am meant to be.

LOL That didn't answer your question at all, did it?

I understand what you're saying. God can def. use loneliness to draw you closer to Him and mold you into the person He wants you to be.

I agree in full! Prayer is very important and can help a lot!

I have to say I am not dealing with my loneliness very well at all. My kids are almost grown and I am now taking care of my elderly mother. I have no one to help me carry the load. You want the truth. I just want to die now, I am so tired of dragging on...

My heart goes out to you Tams. I wish I could give you a big hug right now but this will have to do.

I understand how you feel about not wanting to live anymore. I've been there. I've been down that road and it was so very difficult but God brought me through it.

You'll find lots of support and encouragment on this thread. I know I have. Feel free to post your struggles, vent, post prayer requests or whatever you need to do.

If you want talk futher feel free to PM anytime! God bless you Tams and I'm praying for you!

Ahhh i'm sorry that your going through.

Have you tired getting some community support for your mother? i know there are some home health care programs that Medicare will pay for to assist you in that area of life.

They're everywhere. If you can't find any in Cali, you'll go into the negatives in other states.

Regarding the person who said when they moved out...I still live with my parents but I'm afraid that if I move out I will be so lonely that I will want to die (sorry if that sounds absurd)

But I don't think I'm any less lonely now. I graduated from college rather later than some (at 25 almost) but never got a job that would help me move out; I got only a couple temporary-contract jobs (they were full time but were not permanent) and I am looking for a permanent one now but have been struggling for well over 6 months (the job market where I am at is terrible; but the whole state - of Michigan - is pretty bad in that department). The only reason I want to move out is so that I can attend church and practice Christianity openly. My family doesn't know I'm Christian; I'm terrified of them knowing; I mean the guilt trips and crying/fights that would ensue, I do not look forward to. I'd rather not be living at home with my parents when they find out I'm a Christian...

Sorry if I said too much, that is why I am lonely right now...I need some fellowship and I want to get involved in church (still deciding what church to attend though, that is a process for me) and be more active as a Christian but it is too isolating for me at this point in my life right now.

I don't feel like writing more about this right now. Just wanna get this off my chest, thanks.

I cuddle with my dog, take her to the park and run wildly; or borrow videos and watch them alone; or sing songs loudly as if I'm the only person on earth.
