Health, depression & husband leaving

I'm going through a rough time right now.

I many major health issues that I battle daily. I have a painful bladder disorder called IC. Plus along with that comes many major health issues too such as IBS, migraines, joint pain, low immune system & many more problems. Depression is also one of them due to my up & down health. Many of my illnesses are "hidden" meaning I look fine on the outside.

I homeschool my kids too and try hard to be a good wife & mom. Yet I must depend on my husband a lot. I don't drive due to my health.

My husband rarely travels but he went out of town for just one night. I was fine with that. He called his morning that he was going to have go some where and it could possibly be 2wks.

This is scary for me since I depend on him. He does the driving, grocery shopping and stuff since I never know how my health will be.

I have no friends due to to me being at home all the time. We haven't been to church either in months due to my health. I'm alone a lot.

I handle it ok though.

It's scary though with him maybe being gone for 2wks. Thing are up in the air right now so we don't know much of the details of when the long trip will be, how long and stuff like that. He could leave in the morning or a few more days. He could be gone only a week and return but have to go again for another week. He could be gone 2 weeks and not come home.

To make matters worse I have a bad tooth. I had a root canal done over a month ago. I've had pain but I heal slowly. I have an appointment next week or I did so I was going to tell the dentist about the tooth then.

I'm also running low fevers. It could be due to a cold/sinus thing. I normal temp is 97 due to my health problems and now I run around 99.8 so who knows what is going on.

I can drive but due to my migraines my vision gets very blurry and I don't feel safe driving.

I'm alone. All alone with my husband and it scares me to death. His family is an hour away and they are the type who say "do it yourself and suck it up" so they dont understand my health. My family is over 8hrs away. Also like I said no friends really.

Please pray. I feel so alone. I tried to reach out on a local forum where people have been wonderful and kind to me for years. Yet I asked for prayers and support and got called "selfish" "a door mat" & even worse names.

My name is Ashley. His name is Michael.

Please pray for us while he gone. Not getting out can make things stressful with 3 kids and a sick mom. My health isn't that great now either.

Pray Michael doesn't have to be gone too long. Pray he will travel safely. Pray for us too while he is gone and we can fair well.

Please pray if I need to drive to get groceries I will do ok. Walmart is just right down the road thankfully.

Pray my tooth doesn't bother me too much and maybe the pain is just sinus pain.

Pray my health improves.

Thank you for your prayers. My health being up and down has brought on depression which makes me feel so far from God right now. Pray the Lord will lift it and I won't feel alone anymore.

I'm sorry that you suffer so from health problems and depression. I pray for all that you asked prayer for. I hope you will feel better soon.

I understand what you are going through. I also have IBS as well some other health problems. I've been to the doctor 4 times in the last 2 months for a Urinary Tract Infection, which they just told me that I do not have. They now think it's kidney stones, but my insurance went out and I don't have $6,000 for the CT scan they have to do in order to see what is really wrong. I had to stop taking the pain medication due to mood changes, I have to drop a class in college because I was too far behind and can't keep up with my health issues. I also haven't been eating for about 4 days because of nausea. I can only drink chicken broth and drink liquids. Not only that, but a guy I really cared about just told me that he was giving up on our relationship because it was long distance relationship. I understand you not being able to drive too, because I can't go anywhere without feeling sick because of the IBS. There is a verse that has been running through my head all morning and finally it intrigued me so much that I just had to look it. "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not nor be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God, he it is doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." - Deuteronomy 31:6
The Lord never gives us anything we cannot handle, everything happens for a reason. I just thought I would share this with you so you can think about it whenever it seems like everything is going downhill. The Lord will take care of you, always believe that and you'll be fine. I'll be praying for you, and please let me know how everything turns out.
God Bless,
Alanah

I will pray for you and for you family. This sounds like a difficult situation and one that is scary. Maybe if you can take each day an hour or even a minute at a time and remember that God is there and always listening, it will help you. Do you have a support system through a church that could help you during this time?

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
