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.

Hi Ashley!

I'm Cheryl. I read your post and I want to let you know that I am going to say a special prayer for Michael, you and your family. I will ask God to improve your health beyond reason and give you all that God will's for your family and your lives! Please hang in there! And please do not let othesr discourage you with unkind words. Some are legalistic and some are at much different spiritual maturity levels so exercise discernment when reading posts and all! God bless you always!

Much Love in Him,
Cheryl
