I am sorry to hear about your struggles! I, too, have been job searching for eight months. It can eventually wear you down. On top of going through a break up, it can be really hard. I was in a eight month long distanced relationship when it ended around April. It took me a while to move on. The fact that he appeared to have little to no interest in talking to me and can't keep connections with people helped me. It helped me move on and it helped me focus on better things, like the Lord and bettering myself. It may hurt for a while, but trust me, lack of communication with that person can really help you cope. Surround yourself with hobbies and interests you like doing; friends, family. But most of all, turn to the Lord during this time. The pain you feel now is nothing compared to the joy you will feel with Him. Even a simple prayer can get you started. That is exactly what I did and life has gotten a lot better for me. I will be praying for you.

Thanks so much. I actually have been feeling better since the talk i had with my friend last friday. I think it was very hard cause i basically dropped my life for our life and would never thought he would do this to me! And the fact that things just don't add up, i go back and think about it every now and again. But now it's been easier. Thanks for the prayers btw!

I am sorry to hear about the loneliness and stress, I can understand and relate somewhat. If you ever want to feel free to message if you want someone to talk to. Hope you can find those good friends in real life though, since those are the ones that can help you the most. Also, don't focus too much on needing to have friends to feel that void, because they cannot fill that void you feel, only Jesus can, but it is nice to have friends to talk to and fellowship with. :)

Oh.....a job hunt:idea:. It might be depressing if you think about the hiring managers, because they aren't always honest. To tell the truth, I had to move up to the capital city (with fast success) because the 5 places that might hire managers were bumming me out. You got a few people here (including myself) if you're looking for someone to talk to to help heal your break-up. This verse might help in trying to find friends.
Proverbs 18:24New American Standard Bible (NASB)
24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is friend who sticks closer than a brother.
