I always try to see positive, but these days I'm very depressed. I fear for the future without my partner. I fear not getting a suitable move. Everything seems scary. I do suffer with anxiety alot and cant seem to move forward. I haven't got anyone to talk to where I live, I feel as though I'm being persecuted by others and their narrow mindness. Yes I've had to battle my own illness as well as putting up with things. Its raining as I speak and feel it's Like my tears. Yes I could cry a river. But I'm scared I can't cope and become a recluse if my partner takes poorly again. I must admit he's lost weight and I see a big change since his stroke. Everything I write is anxiety based, its all part of my illness and it's like waiting for a miracle to happen. I know I see with neive eyes sometimes and thats why I'm finding life hard.

My partner gets really depressed which doesn't help, he hates it where we live, and he does have good reason, people really upset us. I hate people with the way they try to go out of their way to upset us. What is this life about. I'M PRAYING TO GET A BUNGALOW, I feel as though I have no help or support any where, that's why the only place I can think is to be nearer my parents. I've been on phone and they said that hardly any bungalows come up there, I've been on list for 4 years 8 months. why is life so hard. I have walking isues and ive put on weight, that's why I get down. I know someone will say don't worry Jesus loves you, but I just want some happy times without feeling I can't help my partner. I worry we will always be sad and then die with all these awful neighbours. I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO ANSWER ME. caps sorry,

I feel that you have too much on your plate to handle. I will say a prayer to God for you. Life can indeed be hard and at times unbearable. I can feel your pain through your words and there is sadness there also. I am praying for deliverance and will continue to do this in my morning prayers before I go to work. You certainly are in need of a miracle. I believe this is coming to you sooner rather than later. Please be strong a little while longer.

Sorry to hear you are going through tough times, ill pray for you. As the Lord tells us in Isaiah 41:10 - Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. As well as in 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

you can dismiss what i say but in my opinion great health and blessings come with a servants attitude not being served. God may have put you there to serve those unlikable, abrasive, smelly neighbors. i read you servants words and how you stick with your mate in sickness or health and i'm surprised your not like everyone else and leave him. wow what a person you are. Lord make us servants, unselfish, givers not takers, teach us your unconditional love. raise up more mother therisas and billy grahams, charles stanleys and those in the bible. then when you have time and we have learned fill our cups to overflowing...if it pleases you.

Heavenly Father I thank you for the great love you have for Happy and Rod and we ask for your peace and protection. Father we ask for you to open whatever doors need to be open for Happy to get a new place to live. Thank you Father that you remember that we are dust and can be easily troubled by so many things we need assurances from you Lord. Please speak your comforts to Happys heart and to all of our hearts. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you for all your prayers. Yes sometimes I find it hard dealing with Life. Rods health issues and his brain issues. He's very moody and tires me out. I feel at times I have to really take a deep breath and carry on. I'm always sensing something will happen. God is some how keeping me going. I get feelings of being alone. I hate my illness and that's why I have to be strong.

Rods so tired today and sleeping so much, I'm so scared at the thought of another stroke or something I have to deal with. I know it can't be helped, but I don't want these feelings. I ask God to direct me.

I know something is wrong with Rods tummy, I've thought this for ages. I'm worried. He's having bowels issues and diahreia. I pray it can be dealt with. it's making him very poorly. I worry so much. I pray the docs find what causing it.his tummy is swollen.

I had been depressed months ago but I am completely free from it although before there were times that I almost could get back at it in a snap but gladly didn't. how it happened was sort of hard but somehow my bf helped me and God, boyfriend told me how I am a christian and should always be positive knowing God is on my side then he told me what depression does. when we are depress we sorta feel hopeless and we cant seem to find a way of escapement, what was once a disaster and nightmare became the norm and the happy life we once had was something so hard to get back at, but its not possible, I do believe to help your partner you have to heal first.

Thanks care. I must admit I found it quite challenged to care for my partner, his stroke symptoms can be quite hard. And I myself have a mental illness. But I'm keeping as strong as I can. Love is the greatest commandment. X
