when you live a lonely life how do you stop from feeling depressed about it

i've lived alone in a 1 bedroom apartment for 20 years, had mental health problems, have a small support system, just my elderly mother and father who live far, i never achieve the relationships i wanted...never had a girlfriend & that's what i wanted...so i'm here by myself in this little dark- gloomy apartment feeling lonely and isolated, wondering if i'll ever achieve my dreams of a partner?...and i feel depression creeping in..

i think it's understandable in my case...i'm christian and talk to Jesus and god a lot and ask them to help me.

can anyone understand??

I've never been in that situation, so I'm not pretending to know what it's like. But I think the best advice I can give is try to find social circles with similar hobbies. If you're into comics, join a comic club. Maybe take a painting class, or a cooking class. Join a hiking group. Basically, touch grass.
