Disciple of Prayer
Please pray for me and my family. Last year I was working at a difficult job and was grieving the death of my uncle. It has had a big impact on me. The company I worked for had massive layoffs a couple years ago and I was mostly working by myself, which had a negative effect on my mental health. I was isolating myself from social activities, even with family members. I had trouble with my diet, bladder problems, stomach problems, and insomnia, which I am still having sometimes. While grieving and working alone, I felt very lonely and helpless. I finally got a new job that I really like. However, shortly after starting my new job at the beginning of this year, I started experiencing chest and shoulder pain. I don't know what started it. I thought that it may have been from straining myself from shoveling snow and ice in January. I am still experiencing the pain, but it is coming and going. I was told that it was likely anxiety after I made an appointment with the doctor. I have been having anxiety about my new job, even though it is going really well. I am doing really well with my work and the management has been impressed with the work I am doing, which has made me feel really great. However, I have difficulty understanding how to proceed with my work and how to communicate my questions, which causes me some anxiety. My chest and shoulder pain went away for a while and came back. It would fluctuate and radiate to different areas. Last night I had difficulty sleeping because of the pain. I have been having anxiety also about my other uncle, who lives in poverty, and is going through a difficult time and not in a good mental state right now. He has been dealing with difficult neighbors in his community that are causing him many problems. My parents have been helping him a lot, having to travel for a couple hours to visit him and help him with his needs on several occasions. They have been really stressed because of it. My uncle is a really talented artist who has been having many health problems and not making enough money to support himself and his family. Knowing what he is going through is causing me and my family stress and anxiety. I am out of shape, and I want to gain more weight, build muscle, and eat right. The stresses of things at work and at home have been affecting my ability to improve. I want to become more confident, improve my social life, and not be so anxious all the time. I ask for prayers for my family's troubles, my uncle's troubles, and also my mental and physical health. Thank you.
