I am Christian, but I am open to hearing from anyone of any belief. I have been suffering emotionally for so long, partly due to my marriage, the rest because of my own mental health and physical health problems. I live in constant fear, and I pray every day. But I feel so scared, far away, and like I will never be heard and that I am not good enough or worthy. I feel very unloved and part of that has to do with how I have been treated during different points of my life as I am isolated and need to build a support system. I guess I am rambling, but I don't even know how and if my marriage will last. I get so sad sometimes I just don't feel like my own husband wouldn't even miss me. I am trying to find my worth by my faith in Jesus. I just wish I could get a grip and find a stronghold. It is so hard sometimes.
Peace to all

There are many websites that can help you feel better about yourself while you are healing your marriage, example - flylady.net and themarriagebed.com, providentliving.org Usually it just takes a little effort on our part to pull ourself up a notch. I believe God is very active on the Internet. Stay away from the negatives and pray to find something positive. They are both there. Do something fun every day. God cares about you and wants you to enjoy life. He wanted you to be born and will stand beside you if you are open to Him. This I know.

I appreciate the advice and the links. I get flustered and very down sometimes, but I always turn to God. Thank you for the websites and support. I hope you are doing well and nice to meet you. I am pretty new here after a long while.
Peace and blessings

Tanzanite,
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've had a bit of a crisis for the past couple of weeks, and it got worse yesterday. Made it through though, but it's still tough.
I can empathize with your feelings of unworthiness and not being heard, and being unloved. I know what it's like to be treated poorly.
I learned that I am worthy of love, but it's still hard to reach out for it.I think I posted this song somewhere else, but I'll put it here especially for you. You are Christian, so imagine Christ holding you in his arms and singing this gently to you:
How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less than beautiful?How could anyone ever tell you
You were less than whole?How could anyone fail to notice
That your loving is a miracle?How deeply you're connected
to my soul.If you want, you can get this song on the Internet. One singer's name is Shaina Noll. I forget the other's name, Libby something, who wrote it.
It's just that simple refrain, repeated about five times. It's a very healing song.

What a beautiful idea and what a beautiful song.
I have been going through a rough time also and sometimes feel on the verge of losing it completely. I hope you will be ok as well. Nice to meet you and thank you for your kind support. Peace and many blessings to you
