I'm feeling pessimistic today so I don't know how good my advice will be lol. First of all many women struggle with being good to themselves. I think this comes from our nurturing instincts - we're always doing and thinking of others. Some have the worst time saying no and taking care of themselves. I mention this because it seems you have a hard time admitting you need care and are entitled to peace / happiness. You care about others and world issues - how can you give yourself to these issues if you aren't strong physically and mentally? Don't you feel you deserve prayers or good vibes? I have to remind myself of this as a mother - I have to take care of myself in order to be a good mother. In addition being a strong woman doesn't mean you can't admit you want or need help.

Regarding praying for yourself - you deserve prayers or good vibes just a much as the next person. This is where I get pessimistic - I've prayed for myself to be freed from this marriage mess and nothing ever happens. If I were giving advice to someone who just said this I would probably say - God doesn't always answer our prayers because this isn't the best road to take. I still feel irritated by praying and not getting a solution.
