How do you deal with loneliness?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Sep 28, 2025 | Replies (63)Comment receiving replies
dealing with loneliness isn't as easy as praying or exercising more...i m 73 and have managed depression and its repercussions since my early 30s. i've prayed and ive exercised myself to death and still experiencing depression, etc.regardless of treatment. so i keep on keepin on and i must admit if someone would have told me i'd end up alone for most of my life i'd have told them they were crazy. i look to mayo clinic for medical help often and now seeking a venue for opening sharing my feelings, challenges and good days without judgement. so it's late and i have to get off line and seek often eluding sleep. good night to you all.

I'm so sorry that you are having such a time with depression. It's sad that exercising and prayer didn't work for you. Sometimes God takes a long time to answer prayers. I had severe migraine headaches for two years before God finally answered my prayers. But he did! I haven't had any kind of headache since then and that was 50 years ago! So, keep praying and having faith. God will be there for you. In the meantime, if you want to share your feelings and challenges etc. as you stated, I'd be glad to listen without judgement. I'll say a prayer for you.
I wish you the best.

I have joined a church and got involved in a number of activities which has helped me to make friends. God has blessed me as I have prayed for a friend for a long time. Getting out and socializing has had a profound impact on my mental health.
