Depression and Debts in Christian Marriage

Depression and Debts in Christian Marriage: Need help in overcoming/getting through depression and dealing with overwhelming debts.

I have to take off work for two weeks, see a couple of doctors/counselors but without any paid sick leave or vacation, so I'm losing two weeks work, which adds to the stress and debt level.

I'm a former minister that has helped others in the past; weddings, funerals, etc. But, I haven't been able to do anything lately of any real value.

I'm working two PT jobs, one if fine the other is stressful.

I can't explain all that is ongoing but debts due to my wife's breast & skin cancer surgeries, lots of bills, struggling each month just to pay rent,etc.

Eighteen years of christian marriage, she is 64 and I'm 58. She works with kids, is great, a good teacher and guide and my one good job is working with mostly disabled guys, helping them on a job where we load boxes of food onto navy ships.

I met with a DR. Thursday and will be seeing one next week. I had a dream that I was in a maze, along with a lot of other people, we were all going round and round and not able to get out I could see ways to get out but they were high up, i.e. climbing up over a chain linked fence for example

I need s breakthrough not only for myself and my wife but after I'm through to help others again.
