I'm starting to feel lonely?!

I'm starting to feel lonely?

I just recently got out of a horrible relationship with a guy. He ended up being a jerk and just wanted to use me. But Thank God I didn't let it get that far. He kind of came out of nowhere and I was single which was fine with me. But after this ordeal I feel like I need some companionship and not necessarily a relationship. Just someone to keep me busy and keep my mind off of what happened to me. That guy almost caused me to take my life. that's how bad it was. I don't know whats wrong with me. I don't want to look for anyone but at the same time I do because I'm lonely....

I think that it is natural human instinct to want to be with someone and share your life with. But, you also have to look at what is healthy. Going to church and prayer has helped me a lot! I am a single mother and I have not been in a "serious" relationship in two years. I was starting to get lonely and kept meeting the wrong guys. I finally realized that the only man I needed was God. He is going to take care of me and he is preparing me for the person he wants me to be with. This is how I look at it and I hope this helps to give you some insight. I know that it is very hard, but it will get better :]
