I am terribly lonely and feels abandoned by God?!
Question: I am a full-time college student taking medical classes that are extremely demanding. I am 31 years old and my peers in class are obviously younger, so I can't make any lasting friendships there. I study constantly and don't have money to go out nor do I have any friends. (work part-time) The classes are getting tougher and part of that is due to my inability to concentrate because I'm falling deeper into loneliness. I've been praying that I meet someone but it's hard to meet someone when I can't go out to do much. (no money no friends to do anything with). Studying takes up so much time too. Any counselor I went to told me I am sad because I need friends.
Currently, I enjoy nothing and look forward to nothing. Even exercise has become a chore. I try to be thankful for what I have but I can't live being so alone. What can I do?

Know that God has got you a mate , and he is keeping him safe for you and should you get the time he will spring him on you , untill then keep studying to become what you know is your destiney and once you reach your goal he'll be there Relax Gods got you covered
find something you love
god Abandons no one you can only abandon your self
i feel so bad for you!!!!! but please dont ever, ever, think about killing yourself. or cutting, beleieve me, its not the answer!!! u can always find a pen pal online, too!
If you go around feeling lonely and sad you will look lonely and sad! This may make you look "unaproachable" you know what i mean. Maybe drop one class to have more time on your hands. Age difference doesn't matter...be outgoing and just talk to other people. I know you said that exercising has become almost like a chore but if you go to a gym you are almost garanteed to meet someone. Maybe join a club (i know you probably pressed for time but it helps) go to the library...they have fun classes and things that you can try out and meet new people!
Hope i helped! =]
p.s. god does't abandon anyone, especially you during this hard time. Maybe go to a church or something to feel closer to god.
You really don't sound lonely, actually you sound clinically depressed. All the stress your under can do that to a person without them realizing it. Support groups for depression are offered for free from different community health places, and you can also meet new people there that have the same interests without spending money.
By addressing this health condition will help you refocus your beliefs that the "glass should be half full, not half empty".
Its seems you have forgotten that.
I went thru something very similar a few years ago....I was in school no time for romance etc. I Looked back at my child hood and found there what i enjoyed doing most.... being a silly little kid.. dig those rollerblades out off the closet and go for...hit the y for a swim......spend 3 minutes in a tanning bed........Do something just for you....go for it......in your opinion life is bad so watta you got to lose
