Bismihi ta'āla

You must follow what your specialist doctor advises. If they have said you are not allowed to fast, as it will make your situation more severe, and your health will deteriorate, then you must not fast.

If you know for a fact that you can fast, and you can manage your situation, like sleeping during most of the day, and taking your medication at night, and it wont harm you, then do so.

If you need to get the surgery done, then also pursue that as well. 

If you are not going to fast, then the compensation is to pay  'fidyah', which is 750grams of food to the poor, for each day.

And Allah knows best

There are many supplications for protection beside repeating Estighfaar and Salawaat and giving Sadaqa. These supplications are mentioned in many books like Mafateeh Al-Jinan. One of these Du'as is (أُعيذُ نفسي وديني وأهلي ومالي وما رَزَقَني رَبِّي بالله الواحد الأحد الذي لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد.

(O'EETHU NAFSI WA DEENI WA AHLI WA MAALI WA MACRAZAQANI RABBI BILLAH AL WAAHUD AL-AHAD ALLATHI LAM YALID WALAMBYIULAD WALAMBYAKON LAHU KOFOWAN AHAD)

Hijab requires you to protect yourself from being seen by any non Mahram man. If your room's windows allow non Mahram men to see you inside your room from outside, you must put curtains to prevent other from seeing you when you are inside your room. You don't need to wear Hijab in your room when your room is not exposing you to non Mahram men.

You need to face your sinful desires by your strong will. Sinning is the result of weakness in front of Shaitan and sinful desires. Stopping sinning depends on your will power when you decide to avoid the way of hellfire. Imam Al-Sadiq (AS) said: No one will be weak when his will power is strong.

The key of the peace of mind is remembering Allah in the proper way. As we read in Quran "Surely only by remembering Allah hearts gain peace" Surat no. 13 Verse no. 28. All mental problems can be tackled and cured by sincere remembering of Allah. It is recommended to recite Athaan (Azaan) at home or wherever you are on every time of Salah. Reciting Athaan has got benefits for mental health. Reciting Quran and Du'a or listening to their recitation helps a lot in gaining peace of mind. A great source of Du'a is Al Sahifa Al Sajjadiya and other supplications narrated by the Holy Prophet and Ahlulbayt. Glorifying Allah during the day and night especially before sunset and before sunrise has got great benefits as we read in the hadith that it is recommended to repeat Subhanallah WalHamdulilah Wa La Ilaaha Ila Allah Wa Allahu Akbar 10 times before sunrise and before sunset. It is also recommended to perform Wudhu before going to bed so that your sleep will be peaceful and you will get the reward of worshiping Allah for the whole night. You should seek the prayers and blessings of your parents as their prayers in your favor are very important and more likely to be accepted by Allah as long as you keep serving them and making them happy with you, even if they are not alive you should visit their grave and pray to Allah near their grave.

Bismihi ta'ala

If wife no longer wishes to be with husband, for whatever reason, she will not be punished, unless she has wronged him. If she no longer had the tolerance or patience to be with him, then she is not going to be held accountable for that. She probably did her best, and it could have been too overwhelming for her. 

This is more a moral situation, rather than a shar'i situation. 

And Allah knows best
