Lonely?

July 23, 2024 8:44am CST
When you have family and frirnds, people think you are very expressive and fun to spend time with. You parents don't understand your feeling and everytime you try to express it turn into agrue and with time you starts to keep everything inside yourself because you don't want to stress your parents and your friend friends starts avoiding you because you have only problem to share. So, this time I decided to keep my thoughts and problems to myself in college I am fun and lovely person. I talk to everyone and everyone wants to interact with me, but in real I am breaking each day. I pray, I consult with sipiritual counslor but all I see is dark and no light. It's hard to explain because in one hand I pray ask god for help, but on other hand I am afraid and alone. How can I overcome my own darkness, is there a way?

Talking to a spiritual counselor is great, but I highly recommend speaking to a regular counselor. They are trained for things spiritual counselors are not. There is no harm in seeing both. I can understand how you feel, and it was miserable for me until I sought help. I love the Lord, and He gives us many ways to better ourselves, and this is one of them.

@ChristineSara Do you have access at all to a psychologist?

In my hometown is no such counselors and rarely people seek medical counselors, but I knew I need to talk to someone that's why I speak to spiritual counselors. It's like I know the problem and its result but I am not able to get out of it.

@AmbiePam My Aunt is very reputable Gynocoligist and because of her we are able to know about most of the doctors. We live in a small town where mental health doesn't seem like real problem to many.

To overcome this ..I know how it is. It is like a big dark cloud. You must stay in the Light, the lovely light of God and his Angels.

@RebeccasFarm we do my mom always sprinkle some holy water after her prayer, my mom and dad are regularly praying for me and my career that why I don't like to share my stress with them because this will make them more stressfull and worried.

You are not the only one with challenges and problems. Just leave them be and time is a great diffuser and before you know they will all disappear. Good Luck. May be you can share them here. - just saying. There is a user here who talks about her husband and I think they have been doing it for almost a year and always gets it top rated.

Thankyou, for the suggestion, it was hard for me to share my emotion with anymore and that's why I thought to share my emotion here at mylot in a different way.

I think you need therapy. I am in the same situation. I am trying every day and I am not sure what to do. Parents don't understand. I don't have any friends. I am sorry because I know how it feels. I wish I could help.

Reading your reply, I feel that I am not alone who is facing this and yes feeling is completely different and difficult to explain especially when you have caring family and friends, but when it comes to sharing you are left alone. Feeling of lonliness in crowd.

Our journey of life is in different phase therefore it is very difficult to understand by others. Some thoughts and problems are meant to keep to yourself first and act accordingly... Not everyone is your friend and ready to listen. Some listen only to gossip with others and take you down

As an indivudual all my friends are good and they never gossip or make fun of me, it just that when started sharing my problem it was all okay, but with time realized that the more I share my problem the more distance is created between us and some unsopken feeling of uneasiness was built among us. So I stop sharing.

Prayer is good, but you can also speak to a Counselor.

I do speak to a spiritual counselor, after talking to her I do feel good, but after some days I am back in my dark zone, where I don't want to be.

This is only hope which keeps me going, that maybe god have some plan for me, even though I don't understand anything.
