I’ve come to the conclusion one of my main causes of depression is the fact I feel lonely. I’ve recently moved away from family into a new city and have few friends. I’ve prayed for four years for god to send me a happy relationship with a man and everytime I start talking to one I’m left disappointed and assume I’m being punished in some way because I’ve yet to find a husband. I’d just appreciate a little advice on how to change my mindset so I can work towards being happier.

I know how you feel. I feel lonely as well. Lost a bunch of friends, started living on my own, lost a parent at a young age, etc. I think most beautiful things come to us when we least expect it. I am sure you are a decent person and that you are worth it. I am sure God is preparing something spectacular for you. Wish you all the luck. ❤️

Hi lilo20, I too believe that feeling lonely can be part of your depression. However,

finding happiness within yourself will allow you to move forward. When the time

is right, "Mr. Right" will come along. :) Meanwhile, enjoy each day and live each day

to the fullest. This is all we have. The future will take care of itself. Feel more

optimistic and it will happen when you least expect it. :) xx

I know how you feel. I moved 1000 miles away from family and all my close friends, took a job at a cancer center. I made some good friends, but sometimes it just seemed so lonely. You are unique and beautiful and care for the relationships you do have. I found that the busier I was with a hobby ( writing) or finding what was beneficial to me helped. Also, I joined a singles group at a big church in my area. They had activities going on all the time. Have you thought about finding a church and joining a singles group? I found that all of them felt the way I did and we could encourage each other, or just go hang out when I was feeling lonely. As far as a relationship with a man, that will come when you are not thinking about it or pursuing it. When you just let go and trust that life is what it is supposed to be in this season of your life. Love has a way of finding you. It did for me. Blessings to you and you are not alone.

I’m sorry that you are feeling lonely. Have you found a church to attend in your new city? When I was single, I attended the church singles group and we had such a wonderful time. It was safe and you didn’t have to worry, you could just be yourself and enjoy the fellowship. I prayed for a husband for nine years and watched as others around me got married, as I waited. It was worth the wait! The Lord had just the right man for me at just the right time of my life. Don’t give up!

My advice don’t look for a partner just because you feel lonely . Focus on yourself do things that you enjoy. Once you learn to love yourself and be comfortable with being on your own you’ll have men flooding to be with you 😉 it’s not nice to feel lonely I’ve been there but I realised that if I worked on me and do things that that makes me happy everything will fall into place 😉 I set goals and do my best to achieve them and what a feeling I get knowing I’ve done this all without a man in my life. Don’t get me wrong companionship feels good. I actually forgot what it was like and I wasn’t even looking. And as for friendship whilst going out and doing things you love you will meet people, make new friends 😉 with family you have face time phone calls txts and not to forget somewhere to stay when taking a break from your own area . Stay connected not only with your family or the little friends you have but most importantly with yourself too and things will work out 💕
