Loneliness

[southernwonder1]

I am really going through a season of aloneness and loneliness right now. My friends are all so busy with their jobs/school/chasing guys, etc. I am divorced and when I get this lonely I start to miss my ex-husband. Then I get very sad.

I am afraid of spiraling down into depression again. I was stuck in depression for many years. I am 31 and spent most of my adult life depressed.

I see a Christian therapist weekly but this week she was not in her office.

I guess I am looking for some prayer and encouragement, please. The forums here were so helpful when I was going through my divorce.

Hi

I know the feeling. Hold your head up.

Being content in being alone isn't easy. What's helping me is doing things that make me happy and give me a peace of mind. People will come and go, but you need to be able to stand regardless.

The Lord has really helped me. It's a daily struggle. Feel free to message me anytime.

I know it must be hard for you
But, please keep trying to be strong..
if you can't do this for yourself, do for people you love..

Hi friend - sorry to hear you are struggling.

"I waited and waited and waited for God. At least He looked; finally He listened. He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn't slip. He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God. More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God" --Psalm 40:1-3 (The Message)


I pray the Lord will comfort you and you will feel His love... that He will lift you and stand you on a solid rock and make sure you don't slip. I pray you find His light and are able to praise Him. Amen

If you like to read, I know of a good book that may help - "A Woman's Guide to Healing the Heartbreak of Divorce" by Rose Sweet. Maybe you can find it at your local library.

Blessings to you sister!
