how to fight depression and loneliness
hello, i have been depressed for a year now and have tried so many things. new hobbies. old hobbies. being positive and smling and so many more and none ever did help. i am wondering if anyone can help me, i serious need help. i can't even try therapy because it;s really expensive and none is near me. i also feel incredibly worthless and also feel like much listeners don't like me. i don't know why. either way i need help. please help me if you can.
Hello! I don’t know if I can be of any help, but I think I know how you are feeling as I’ve been depressed for over a year now and I also can’t get therapy. I have tried a lot of things to feel better, but all I can suggest from my own experience is to go to Jesus and tell Him everything. When I do that I do feel better.
@bubbleFig9466 hello. Thank you for the advice but I am not a Christian so I cannot do that.
I totally understand! You know... maybe you should just give God a try? It couldn’t hurt. Ask Him to show Himself to you. That is what I did and He showed Himself to me and now I know He is real and able to help me!
@bubbleFig9466 I appreciate that your trying to help but I can't. I am a Muslim and I cannot do that.

Oh nice, Your a Muslim. I been to a mosque before even though I am not religious and it was really nice and beautifully decorated. :) I really liked it in there. :) I also enjoy learning about your Muslim culture and how they pray 5 times a day. I think I do have some respect for Muslims and I come from England.
That is really nice to hear that! ^^
That is beautiful! I have great respect for Muslims and that means that you and I do have one thing in common- we both believe in God (Allah). I know God (Allah) loves you a lot and I will be seriously praying that God (Allah) helps you! I have been really trying to brain storm and think about what makes me feel better and this morning I remembered a saying that has proven true for me and that is, “Spending time with children heals the mind.” I am a teacher and when I teach and play with my little pupils, then I do feel like I am worth something and that I my life has purpose. Maybe you could go to your local park or something and play with the children or go to the library and offer to read to children.
@bubbleFig9466 hello. Thank you and I have prayed but never did get any better. And also I am 17 and cannot do that and not really interested in spending time with kids.
Hey Dear, Over a year its been too long and must be real hard, As per what you said, you tried new hobbies and stuffs, But did you resolve the real root cause that made you depressed?
@kashyaparmar hello. no. I haven't. I am not even really sure why I got depression. I just did.
@unassumingTree5669
It might be worth reflecting on the past year or few years and resolve any negativity, through meditation/praying etc. It hasn't 'cured' my depression but it has helped manage it.
@Planted i see. well thank you a lot for telling me that! i will try to keep it in my mind! have an amazing day!
Keep praying to God. I know He will come through for you. It may not be in the time, place or way that you expect, but I know for sure that He cares for you and will help you somehow! God wants to be your friend!🙂 When I was 16 I was really lonely and I started to pray to God for a friend. Well, the Lord really impressed me that He would provide me a friend before my 17th birthday, which was only about a month away. Just two weeks before my birthday I received a letter from a really nice lady and to my complete surprise she asked me to be her Pen-Pal. 😁 I still email her every couple of weeks and she has proved to be a very good friend. God cares for us and loves us! 🙂
@bubbleFig9466 awww! that is really nice :) i hope you two always stay friends! i will actually start to do that. i will try to pray more! hopefully it will help me! thank you a lot! hope you will have an amazing day! <3
