Sleep is the biggest one, you need to try get 8 hours sleep a day.
Make it 9 for good measure, I know.

Taking 1 St. John's Wort capsule twice per day can provide a subtle but significant improvement in mood.

Sometimes things happen until we learn to make the best of them. This is his opportunity to be a saint, and slowly but surely master his frustration, and turn it into joy that he has something to suffer for Christ who suffered so much for him. Others may benefit from the merits earned by suffering for love of God.

I feel for you both. I do hope you will not be too hard on yourself with keeping up with housework. If you are not getting adequate rest, it will make things worse. If you can afford to get paper products for eating and drinking I sure would! When we sleep our cells are healing and our body is doing what it needs to do in order to rejuvenate.

I’m going to guess you are dealing with several auto immune diseases which conventional doctors are nearly worthless in diagnosing and treating. Have you been able to see a functional medicine doctor?


I apologize for veering off the original intent of your post. I just feel if we can get to the root cause, things will improve. Your husband just sounds exhausted and stressed to the max. Is there any way he could procure a better job? I’ve found that taking amino acids has helped greatly with managing my stress and mood, especially l-theanin, 5 htp and GABA. They are not expensive and have been a game changer for me with mood and sleep.

Praying for you and your husband! Not having much family support is very difficult. Unfortunately, you are in good company as many trads suffer that same type of sorrow.
Thank you for your kind charity, it means very much, and for your prayers. We need grace more than anything else. What you have recommended is insightful and helpful, thank you. No, he cannot be employed elsewhere.

Yes it is so sad that many traditional Catholics have the same cross, but I reflect on what the saints would say; they would relish the opportunity of suffering for Our Lord! We truly have to place our happiness in the eternal, especially today.

I am very allergic to cats and dust and I get physically ill if I'm staying in a house and there's no air filtration/circulation. Our kids and my husband can tolerate it but I guess I'm more sensitive. What worked was putting on air filters on a box fan and lots of vacuuming. I also had to wear a respirator cause it's that bad. Could you do an air quality test? I would try to open the windows as much as possible.

Also, have you considered testing for Lyme disease?
I'm sorry to hear that, however thank you for sharing because it gives me more ideas about what could be making us so ill! Our air filter tells us every so often that the air quality is not great. Yes, opening the windows is helpful except sometimes people choose to smoke on their decks so it floats into our unit. We did test my husband for Lyme disease, but it was long past the event we suspect a tic bite may have occurred, so nothing showed on the test. Of course, the doctor doesn't care to investigate further. But it seems everything went downhill from that point.

Thank you, I hope and pray we are able to do this consistently.
