I am married, and disabled. I have always been a loner, and have had several online friends at one time, but through the years they have moved on away from the internet. I have one friend online and we chat quite a bit during the day. When my wife is at work is the toughest time for me. She is a nurse and works nights. I do go to a mental health support group on Tuesday and Thursdays during the day. But I still have to deal with this loneliness and dont know why? I have joined many social sites in search of friendships but they are just few and far between these days. If you have any words of encouragment or advice, please feel free to comment on this. If you want to add me as a friend, by all means I will humbly accept any request. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthy is a good place to join in and fellowship with others. Try the chat room too. Having more time on your hands doesn't have to be lonely , use your time to reach out to others. God Bless. Nigel.

We are actually focussingon the created elements rather than on The Creator of the elements! Our bodies wantfoundation of 1st created realities when in fact by the intention of God we are tocling to that which is not yet but will be as though it is even now.Col 3 Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you lonely or just feel alone? There is a difference...one can be alone yet not lonely. I pray that Jesus fills your heart with His presence so much that you cannot imagine ever being lonely...alone, yes, but never lonely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it does sound like you can`t really go out much at all. Anyway as others have said this place `Worthy` is a great place to make friends. Give yourself time to get to know different people, & for them to know you. Talk on different threads that interest you & you will find others who like those topics too. I`m sure the Lord will lead you & others to connect in time. You are a part of the Body of Christ & thus have much of Him to share. Be patient & trust Him to build your friendships as you step out & give of Him to others. Blessings Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray that God will help me through these lonely spells, and that I will be able to make new chatfriends. I added your all to my messenger list, and will attempt to frequent this website more often.

That means that they do come and go. Take a few proactive measures, focus on what you are doing or not doing just before they come on. Try to change a patttern that may bring them on. Along with spending time in here, consider taking an on line course. You can do that at night when your wife is attending patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to know about resources that are available to keep connected and that some form of help can be found. I just googled: how to keep from falling deeper into depression and found a page from the site: Spych Central. Sometimes it helps to know that you are not alone feeling lonely or depressed. Even though we are all different with different struggles and life challenges, there is comfort sometimes in knowing that others too are going through a rough patch and can at least relate to feelings of loneliness and depression that can keep us stuck. On the christian side, God knows your life,and is always there for you and will not leave you or abandon you. Everyday we are given new test of faith. Deuteronomy 31 6, 8 6- 'Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. 8- And the Lord, He is the one who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, do not fear nor be dismayed Hebrews13:5,6,15 Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For He himself said. "I will never leave you nor forsake you 15- Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that this the fruit of our lips,giving thanks to His name. Matthew ch4:4 Christ Jesus said:" Man shall not live by bread alone, but by everything that proceeds from the mouth of God. 1Peter ch5:7. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you John ch 16: 32.33. Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. Psalm72:12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. In the blood redeeming name our our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus: May God Bless you Richard and surround you with His love. Amen! Amen!Amen! Looking these things up to and praying for you to try and bring solace to you has also helped me to get a bit of solace and to remember the hope there is in Christ Jesus. Halleluhia Praise God!

I really appreciate it, and I need to get back into the word. I have slacked off for several months. I just got to 'put one foot in front of the other,' so to say. I have started adding people to my messenger list here today and been in the chat rooms several times tonight. I think getting more involved in this great place will help alot. I have debated a online class, but would not know where to start. Would that cost anything if i found something online? Has anyone had any dealings with that here? How did it go for you? God Bless and have a great night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
