Can I get a connection?

Feeling sad. Cry at least a little everyday. No trauma just depression I can’t get rid of. Lonely. Though I was making friends and connections now they are falling through.

I understand. My depression has gotten worse since my husband told me he's thinking about a divorce. I want to cry and sleep, like its going to be better, but im learning its going to take time and work on my part to help myself. Think of the good things. I'm thinking i cant wait to get help so i can start to heal.

I’m sorry that you are feeling this way. Loneliness is real to so many of us. We all have something within us that desires relationships. Sometimes, when I'm struggling with loneliness, I find that keeping myself busy helps. I will find a simple chore that I need to do and I will just take the next step to getting it done. Are you living in a new place?

No I’m not living in a new place. It’s just hard for me to make friends. I was starting to make friends with some of the moms at my daughter’s school but she started a new school. I tried to stay in contact but it’s just fizzled out. I’m constantly busy working and taking care of my girls. I would like to be not busy and just hang out but with adult but I’m not good at that either.

I've had several friendships that didn't work out like I had hoped either. Do you attend a local church? I have found that my deepest friendships have developed through connections in my church family. It has also been a place where I have been able to share my feelings of depression and receive healing. I pray that God will provide opportunities for you to rest and friendships that you can enjoy!
