• 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 feel so alone. I have a fantastic mom an amazing husband and 2 wonderful kids but I feel so isolated and that no one really gets it. last year we moved to a village because we needed a bigger house and now we are trying to move back to the town we were in before because I miss my family and friends, to say the bus service is bad is an understatement and I don't drive. I have not made any new friends i the village, its like i have nothing in common with them especially at th school gates because i was 17 when i had my son i an alot younger than the other mums. to make it worse i thought i had found god after some rebellious teenage years but now i am even questioning that, the only church i can physically get to is completely wrong for me and i don't even know what denom is right for me and the information available is completely overwhelming me. we are also struggleing financially and i have had tp sell my flute, the one thing that always cheered me up. if i am honest if it wasnt for jamie and jasmine (my 2 beautiful children) i would probably rather be dead.

sorry for rambling on, this probably doesn't make much sense but i needed to get it out.

please help me

ah, kt. :hug: It seems like you are going through a lot right now. I know how it is to move to a new town, not know how to drive, and feeling so lonely because there isn't really many people your age who you have anything in common with. Same situation, if you want to pm me, feel free. I pray that you will be able to move back to where you feel welcome and all. Perhaps until that time, you can take up bike riding? I don't know how bad traffic is in England. But I know buses here aren't that good either! Eek! But sometimes you just can't get out...but take a note though that God loves you and He will never leave nor forsake you... I know that you said that you were not sure if you found God or not. It might make things more difficult for you, so continually search for Him. Seek, and you shall find! God bless you, I will definitely be praying for your current situation. lily00:angel:

I know exactly what you mean -- I too am pretty lonely, and it's really hard for me to make friends. :sigh: I have no close friends, and I think that is part of the reason why I have depression. It's just real hard for me to communicate.
And like you I'm also struggling with my faith -- just don't know what to believe anymore. :sigh:

:hug:'s for you ktwalker, you are not alone, although you feel that way. I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I know it's an incredible struggle and can really be a shake to your faith. Please just know that our Lord is there for you, and loves you. Cry out to Him if you need to and take refuge in the promises you have from Him. :hug:

hey :) everyone goes through tough times, and the good news is everyone sooner or later finds the light at the end of the tunnel :) I remember hearing from Jason Upton that every new day begins at midnight. I love that because it shows that darkness comes before the new day begins :) no trouble lasts forever :)

I know EXACTLY what you're going through. There are times when I feel alone as well, and I have a wonderful family too. The person above me is right, everyone goes through rough times. I can see that you're going through a lot right now, and my advice to you is take it one day at a time.

You say you don't know which denomination is right for you. Remember, regardless of what denomination you are, if you believe that Christ died for your sins, and you admit to him that you're a sinner. You will get into heaven. =)

I hope my post helped you a little.

Fear,

You lock yourself inside. Created a vacuum within.

Get into some counselling sister and truly focus on smashing down the walls within.

As I told a friend and discovered for myself. Fear is great enemy, it doesn't allow one to really live.

you are only 25 years old. I am already 27 year old. never even hold a ger hand before. so lonely in church and outside life too.

All of my friends are already married at age 25, 23, 29 years old. i have no more single friends, Some already have kids. 2 months old. My colleagues even laugh at my situation and poking fun on my virginity saying that I will die of virginity.

I ask god, why put me in such a situation. All my 27 years of life has been bad, abuse y friends and parents, teachers. now my heart is all broken. I bow and kneel before god, why are all this happening to me. I see some friends change their girlfriends like changing clothings but I dun even have one. I dun even know how to hold hands and kiss.I feel so sorry about myself.

Recently been thinking of just suicide and just end everything. just that I don't have the courage to do it.Please pray for me. I don't know how long can I tolerate all this and my love to come. every night I just bow down and cry , broken and dun know what to do.

hi, ktwalker. i'm 25, too. i'm new to this forum. i'm sorry you're feeling so alone. i know what it's like to feel alone. i don't have any friends and i feel like i don't belong at my church (though i think they teaching is so good). are you able to talk on the phone and/or email with your family and friends? i've also gone through times of questioning whether or not i really know God and have a relationship with Him. just keep talking to Him and reading the Bible. as far as church, maybe you could attend a church where you live, and also find some good sermons to listen to online so you can really be fed spiritually. when i'm struggling with depression and loneliness, i find it helpful to be fed by good biblical teaching, instead of trying to do all the work myself. i think trying to understand the beliefs of the various denominations can definitely be overwhelming. maybe you could read the "statements of faith" of different churches. you can usually find these on their website or some brochure at the church.

i hope things are going better for you . . .
i'm praying for you.
