Who said going to church has to be revolved around religion?! might not be the answer BUT if he doesnt have anyone to talk 2 there as always people there who will, u dont have to become catholic or start attending church every week, start praying everyday or even beleive in or give a shit about god, but churches always have people to talk about ANYTHING and its a shit load better than rigning a phone line trying to get help, or bottling it up and doing nothing about it..........

As said mate if u have no mates in the area hopefully a few people on here might be local and can help out etc or try other forums with interests like urs who have meets etc in ur area.

No comparrison to what ur going thru but ive been having health problems since i was 17 which still cause me problems now (i'll be 30 in april) to the point if it doesnt get better soon i may have to look at giving up my job at McLaren ive had for the last nearly 5yrs as i suffer with tiredness and have to commute 90miles each day and struggle to get to work for 7.30 each morning!! I've gone thru many highs and lows over the years and in the past spent alot of time on my own, but deff found coming onto places like this and chatting to people can help take ur mind off things!!

Also in all seriousness if ur looking to meet someone as in relationship wise but are struggling have u tried somewhere like match.com?! someone i work with was telling me the other day, basically he was married and they have now seperated but still have the house and live together so obviously is hard for him to meet anyone else and a mate of his told him to sign up and he did for a laugh, and was surprised how many people were genuinely on there in his area!! He has now met a really tidy blonde girl off there who is in a similar situation ie married but seperated and they seem really happy together, and he was only on there a few weeks so shows sites like that do work!!
