Would anyone out there be able to pray for me? I have been going through extreme stress, anxiety and panic attacks for the past two weeks. They are destroying me physically and mentally…I can barely eat, and the only relief I get is when I can sleep. In fact, I just want to stay in bed and sleep all the time but I cannot. I think I am having a nervous breakdown.

Even worse, this has been so hard on my husband and kids. I’m trying to hide it from the kids, and do what needs to be done, but they know that something is wrong with me. My husband is worn out by the situation and is starting to get impatient with me, and I understand him. He has tried to be supportive but is just exasperated.

I don’t know where to turn for help. I’ve been calling suicide hotlines just to talk to someone so that I don’t burden my husband. I don’t want to commit suicide but I feel like death is the only thing that will put an end to this. Prayer and the sacraments have helped a little bit, but nothing last for long and I’m always back in the anxiety. This is related some underlying problems and worries that cannot be easily solved, so I see no way out of this at all. I feel like God has abandoned me. I keep praying but it doesn’t help much.

I have a telephone consultation with a counselor this week, but I can’t afford their fees and don’t know if I will qualify for a reduction. Mental health services are very limited in my area, so getting help locally is not really an option. I’ve talked to a priest but everyone is busy now, so I feel like I have nowhere to turn and that no one can help me. I’ve never been in this state before, and just hope that I can somehow wait this out…but I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this…I’m scared that I will end up in hospital or something.

Once upon a time I found myself in a similar situation. Make an appointment with your primary care doctor. They can help with meds if needed and refer you to counseling. 🙏🙏🙏

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Thank you all! It means so much. Please keep praying!

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments, we might not despair nor become despondent,
but with great confidence, submit ourselves to your holy will,
which is love and Mercy itself.
Amen.

Perla, we will all pray for you each day, be sure of that.
Just get through one day at a time, by putting all of your trust in God. Put all of your anxieties, worries, fears and stress into his hands.

You have been given some good advice. But if you end up in the hospital after seeing your doctor, that may be just what you need. Just get help, no matter what it costs.

And please, feel free to come here for prayer support. There is usually always someone around.
 
Praying for your health.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
 
I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time… I will be praying for you 🙏

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

May we be assisted, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by the worshipful intercession of Thy glorious Mother, the ever-Virgin Mary; that we, who have been enriched by her perpetual blessings, may be delivered from all dangers, and through her loving kindness and made to be of one heart and mind: Who livest and reignest world without end.
Amen.
🙏

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,

Mother of Tranquility

and Mother of Hope,

look upon perla_m in this time

of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart

to know that God’s Love

for her is unchanging and

unchangeable, and, that

true human love can only

begin and grow by touching

His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -

which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
And, help her to bring this

same Peace into the lives

of others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
Amen.

Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,

saying:

Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:

Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:

Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,

troubles and sorrows:

Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:

Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:

Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good

come from my efforts:

Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:

Jesus, help me!

When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and

I am lonely:

Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-

comings of every kind:

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

I pray that the Lord relieves you of anxiety and panic attacks. Amen.
 
This happened to me two years ago. I did outpatient therapy for two weeks and took a month off work. I still suffer from anxiety and take medication for that plus the depression. It was hard on my husband too. I got better but still get anxiety attacks and have depressive episodes. I guess it’s my cross to bear in life. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
 
Praying for you right now.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
 
for your healing

Hi everyone - thank you for your prayers and please keep them coming, as I think they have been helping me a lot. I’ve been feeling a bit better but still have a lot of anxiety and fear for the future, and I don’t know when things might start spiraling again and get worse. It means so much that people that I don’t know are keeping me in their prayers. I will pray for all of you, as well, even though it is hard for me to pray very well these days.
