I need your prayers. Im in a deep depression and anxiety. I’ve made poor and regretful decisions in life. The only way I fall asleep is with sleeping pills. First time posting. I use to enjoy reading threads in this forum and said a few prayers for other people that asked for help. I’ve never been this desperate in my life before. I’m coming off of drug abuse. I used steroids for about 3 months and I’m withdrawing. I sometimes have the feeling of just wanting to be dead. I never thout I would feel this way from using steroids. I have a 14 month old son and A girlfriend who I never had the courage to marry because I’ve always had someone else on the side. I’ve had 2 other girls that I lied and seduced just to have sex with them. My girlfriend has no idea. One of the girls was 18. Im 33. For some reason I feel I have to turn here for help. I believe in god and love Jesus but I’ve been living my life without care for sins. A lot of bad events have been happening in the past 4 years. I got fired 3 years ago and then fell into a depression and didn’t start working again till recently. I survived cause I still live with my parents and had a lot of money saved up. A few days ago I called the suicide hotline because I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I wanted to be dead but I would never have the courage to kill myself. It’s just a strong feeling to be dead. I’m turning here for prayers. For help. I go to church but I feel dark. Nobody knows I’m suffering. I haven’t confessed lately. I’m catholic and love being catholic. If anyone is listening can you pray for me. I’m in pain. This is the lowest point in my life.
 
I turn to you, dear virgin and martyr, confident of your power with God and of your
willingness to take my cause into your hands. I praise and bless the Lord for giving
you to us as patron of the nervous and emotionally disturbed. I firmly hope that
through your kind intercession He will restore my lost serenity and peace of mind.
May He speak to my heart and reassure me: “My peace I give you. Let not your heart
be troubled nor let it be afraid.” Pray for me, dear St. Dymphna, that my nervous
and emotional turmoil may cease, and that I may again know serenity and personal
peace.

Amen.
 
We humbly supplicate and beseech thee, O thrice-blessed Augustine, that thou wouldst be mindful of us poor sinners this day, daily, and at the hour of our death, that by thy merits and prayers we may be delivered from all evils, of soul as well as body, and daily increase in virtue and good works; obtain for us that we may know our God and know ourselves, that in His mercy He may cause us to love Him above all things in life and death; impart to us, we beseech thee, some share of that love with which thou so ardently glow, that our hearts being all inflamed with this divine love, happily departing out of this mortal pilgrimage, we may deserve to praise with thee the loving heart of Jesus for a never-ending eternity.

St. Augustine, please pray for this man.

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.
 
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they have offended You, my God, who are all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen
 
Oh Blessed and Holy Virgin Mother, wrap your loving arms around this dear soul who is in need of your strength and courage. Precious and Loving Jesus grant this child of yours the forgiveness that he is seeking, the strength to carry on and love the he desperately needing. In your most Holy name we pray.
Amen

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
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

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
