I may have ovarian cancer - I find out for sure in about a week - plus I've been struggling with depression.

Question

My hair was melted off by a bad straightener - well not all the way, but bad enough that it made me depressed and stressed out and on top of that now I'm in the middle of changing jobs and could have cancer. I've never been mad at God, but here lately, I've had such a rotten attitude because I thought He wasn't supposed to give us more than we can handle. Can anyone pray for me to be stronger and for all this to pass?

Answer 1

I regret that you are having so many problems. I can understand your feelings about God. You wonder how much more you can take.

I will definitely say a prayer for you . I've enclosed a link where you can light a candle and pray. I really love to go to this place it's so peaceful.

My best wishes,

Answer 2

Why is it taking a week to find out if you have cancer? I have never heard of such a thing. Call your doctor and get those results immediately. Getting the results--no matter what they are--will help. At least if it's cancer you can move forward with treatment and not be stuck in this limbo. Of course, everything is going to seem overwhelming now. Take a deep breath and tell yourself "I can do this." Because you can. Cripes, if I can do it, anyone can. LOL

Answer 3

Yes, I sure will. Just have faith that everything will work out, be positive and don't be mad at God. He really does love you and he will never ever give you more than you can handle. It just proves that you are stronger than you think; right? I have been going through a lot of stuff lately too, but my faith is strong and I know things will turn around because I BELIEVE. They will for me and they will for you! Believe that!!!

My prayers will be with you.

Love, M.

Answer 4

Gee, you are dealing with a ton of stuff...

Talk with your GP and either get a referral to a counselor or therapist and/or antidepressants.

Anger is one of the stages of grief and you are okay and normal. Everyone gets angry at God sometime.

Being able to deal with this stress is now key to your well-being in the long run. See assistance from family, friends, and professionals. Having a good support system can be immeasureably good for you. Talk with those who care about you. Do not isolate yourself.

Sending you positive energy, prayer, and wishing you a great week to come...

PS - Keep the possible cancer diagnosis from any employer. It is literally none of their business. They can be really jerky and pull an offer even though it is against the law.

Answer 5

yes...
and for those of us who pray, and do not readily answer questions here, strength for you will be prayed for from us, too.

try...
re-phrasing your question, something like:
Will you type out a loving-kind prayer for me to read?

and...
use copy/paste for your original statement and the text that follows into the text area, following your new question.

I think it is the reading of nicely-put prayers that will help your struggle with depression.

Answer 6

I haven't heard from you in a while, I really wish you would've kept in touch with me.... sorry about your situation.
