What do you do when your whole world collapses?

Hello all...

I know some of you have been through this...but, I cannot even comprehend that I would have been in this place.  My husband and I have seperated after nine years of marriage.
I feel like my entire world is falling apart around me and I have no idea what to do.  My financial situation is bleak to say the least and my church is supportive as far as prayer but can't really help out beyond that.  My family thinks we should just "straighten up" as if that advice is helpful...

I am feeling overwhelmed and the desire to eat compulsively is big!  Of course, I get sick if I eat even one bite too many and the food I'm putting in is good food...just not really eating slowly, etc.  I am stressed beyond belief and I am terrified that my ulcers are going to return and I have NO one to really support me.

I guess I just really need prayers and love from where ever I can get it!  Thanks for listening

You've got my prayers for sure.  I hope that you wil find strength to get through this.  HUGS!

Lisa

Wish I could give you a hug.....Know how you feel. Separated 25 years ago - broke with a 3 year old barely out of diapers.   I am so glad that you have the church.   They were a true blessing.

Lisa:  I am so sorry you are having to go through so much.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. 

Lisa  -  i'm so very sorry for what you are going through.  please know you are in my prayers.  lys

Awww Lisa! My heart breaks for you, your children and your family. I am so sorry that everyone is having to go through this but trust that God will see you through it. Rely on your church, they will help you! And you DO have the support you need to help you through this. You have your OH family. We are here for you!

Prayers for comfort, healing and guidance are going out.

Hi Lisa,

My prayers are with you and your family. I know its a trying time. Remember the tool you've been given and that it works and that God is there with you through all this. I can tell you it does get easier but it takes time. You have to take care of you before you can take care of others. We're here when you need us for sure.

Lisa I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this.  My thoughts & prayers go out to you & your husband.  You do have your church and you do have us.

Look into some of your community resources.  Social Services for assistance with food or other funding.  See if there is community counseling services or counseling through your church.  Focus very hard on your habits.  When you have the desire to eat try to find something else to do.  Take a walk, read the bible, pray, call a friend.  Focus on eating slowly.  You definitely don't want to deal with being sick on top of it all.

Know that you are not alone.

You have been given alot of good advice. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family will be in my prayers. I can't imagine going through something like this. I too have been married for nine years. Sometimes it doesn't sound like a long time, but to me its been my whole adulthood. Have you thought about going to counseling to see if it can help. My parents work with a Christian Marriage Counseling group. You go away for a weekend at Virginia Beach and you write alot. After that you meet once a month with the group. My parents seperated after 20 years together and this worked. The next weekend they have is November 7th timeframe. I would be more than happy to give you the information. Please pm if you want it. Until then you are in my prayers.

Lisa,

I am sending huge hugs, prayers and positive thoughts your way.  I wish I were closer to reach out to you physically.  Please know that I am here if you need anything.  God only gives us what we can handle and no more.  I know at times it does not seem that way but he is with you always.  I agree with the others that maybe some counseling is in order.  If not for you both then just for you.  Also, social services can be a great tool. 

Remeber to take care of yourself for your childrens sake and don't let those pesky ulcers come back.  You have come way too far!
