I wrestle with anxiety.. ptsd.. I'm 71 and twice widowed..no children and lots of digestive issues.. fear tries to creep in every time I get hungry .. all day long.. nightmares at night..I know "trapped in your head".. so (I have a cousin same way).. so here's the bottom like .. you were wonderfully made by the Almighty God and He thinks you are special.. you are special.. tell yourself that ..over and over if you have to..fight fear with faith.. there is Victory in Christ Jesus..(I don't know how you believe.. but I am quite satisfied being a child of God thru Christ Jesus ..I'm so unhappy with the way I look and feel now.. but I take my place in the family of God.. you belong there too..hold your head up high!! Praying for you to be an overcomer!! Believe!!

Hi,
I'm so pleased to hear of your having faith in God and Jesus even with all of your physical problems! You are so right! God is always there for us. Sometimes it's hard to remember but all we have to do is ask.

I'm sorry you are twice widowed. That is sad. I am 79 and my husband died in July, 2024. However, I know that eventually in God's time, we'll both be with our husbands again in Heaven. My husband and I had no children together. He had three boys from his first marriage who didn't like me. (I wouldn't let them use the "F" word in our home.) They knew their father had cancer but didn't come to see him. I have one son from my first marriage whom I haven't seen in 20 years. But like you said I have God and Jesus and that's what keeps me going. I talk to God everyday and read the Bible every night. I'll say a prayer for you that your physical problems go away and you feel good again.
I wish you the best.
PML
