Author	Thread: How do you deal with loneliness?
Admin	How do you deal with loneliness? Posted : 16 Jul, 2010 11:48 PM I've taken a lot of time thinking on the subject. I'm not entirely sure how one deals with loneliness. Is this something God fixes, can a knowledge of Christ mend a lonely and/or broken heart? Or can another person possibly fill a void that is there, who is equally yoked with you and loves Christ? Do you use various distractions, perhaps spend more quality time with friends or family, if you have those means. What cures loneliness? Post Reply

carmi View Profile History	How do you deal with loneliness? Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 07:19 AM Loneliness is a state of mind we can choose not to dwell in. I have three children but I live away from them because of my work, and my work involves being with a patient who does not utter a word 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He just stares blankly on the wall and walks to and fro. So basically, I am alone, but I'm not lonely. There are ways to keep out of lonelienss and one of them is to keep the mind busy. I focus on other things like goals, writing, reading books, and listening to music. There are phones and computers, but having time to develop self is also a way of NOT being lonely. I try to think of what I will be a year or so from now, and if that won't happen, what I can leave to those I will leave behind, perhaps a legacy of values and writings they will remember and learn from. Throughout the day I keep connected to God in thought. Before I start the day I read God's Word and meditate on a Scripture passage and how I can apply it in little ways. I end up my day with journal writing, thanking God for another day of life which is a blessing. Post Reply

All I have wanted for the longest time is to find that one woman to spend the rest of my life with and to have a family. Unfortnatly it takes forever just to get one date out of someone and as far as a second date just never happens. I know I am not the greatest looking guy but it would be nice to get beyond that .

paschen81 View Profile History	How do you deal with loneliness? Posted : 20 Sep, 2010 04:50 PM loneliness is something I struggle with... however, it is not something that I dwell in but rather the twinge of heartache that breaks through when the world throws in your face the one thing your heart so deeply desires but doesn't (and fears will never) have. It is those brief fleeting moments when I'm out and about and I see all the couples that seem so happy to be near each other (yes I'm a literalist and know that most are probably anything but happy) but there are some who you can just tell... there is just a radiance you can feel from them... and it's one of my biggest sins... I for that one moment envy them. ACK yes I said it... Lord forgive me for that... I am still a work in progress that is for definite sure. Post Reply
View Profile History	How do you deal with loneliness? Posted : 23 Sep, 2010 09:49 AM I find this forum interesting. The guy I am currently involved with has said on numerous occasions that I ripped his heart out. However I'm the one that seems to be crying all the time. I've cried every day for the last week with the things he says, does and accuses me of. I thought we were in an equally yoked relationship. We are both believers. We are in the same age bracket. We share a lot of the same memories of music. We've laughed together. But it's gone to far. He lost his wife less than a year ago. He kept saying "I need to get out of here." So I encouraged him and I'll admit, I encouraged him to move to my state. Now he is here and though he promised me, my mother and God that he would not blame me if it didn't work out. Now on his profile he claims I said I like dogs and cats and then I wanted him to get rid of them. His heart may be broken but so is mine. I've tried to emotionally distance myself from him, introduce him to several people in town, we tried out a new church together and explored all but one adjoining state. He says he misses his wife. I would too if I were him. But can I be her? No. I think he wants me to be her. It's like living with a ghost though maybe and angelic host. :purpleangel: I'm sure she was a wonderful woman. I never had the pleasure of meeting her. I asked him to leave my house on Sunday night because he was yelling and speaking sharply to me. My roommate had to come out and finally ask him to leave. I felt unsafe and have ever since that night. He does speak sharply to me a lot then claims he's "just playing" with me. It's codependent and I don't know how to help him and stop feeling uneasy. Do I think another person can feel a void in your life. Apparently not. I don't know exactly how to do it but I know that a codependent relationship certainly can't. God bless and thank you for listening. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Sep, 2010 06:05 AM God is the only one who can take the loneliness away. i know because it's part of my testimony. i've had to deal with loneliness and depression for 15 years. which seems bad considering i'm only 23. if it hadn't been for one of my friends that i consider family coming into my life, i wouldn't be alive today... it's something that hurts. just trust in God and he will help you through the storm...
