Hey everyone. I am extremely depressed tonight. The reason is because my boyfriend and I got in an argument earlier. Actually, I was in a bad mood well before then. My whole day has been nothing but one long low mood. It started out with me being really crabby and grumpy but not necessarily sad. Then I had that argument with Darrell. And now I am so depressed I can’t hardly even think. No, I am not suicidal. I’m actually too depressed to even be suicidal if that makes since. But anyway, Darrell and I are getting along perfectly fine now. It’s just that I am depressed beyond belief. He said that he would call me later to check in on me. I don’t think I’ve ever been this depressed in my entire life. In fact, I am so depressed that I can’t even cry. It’s so weird. Please pray for me.

Also, I am having a severe lack of faith right now. I’ll be quite honest, I am seriously considering Atheism because of this depression. I mean, I know in my heart that Catholicism is true but I just feel so completely and totally distant from God right now. Please pray for me.
 
You are in my prayers, Holly. Please talk to God about your feelings and persevere in your faith so you can get to heaven. Try to unite your pain and suffering to Jesus’ on the cross and offer it up for your soul or for all souls in general…that way your suffering will be a gain and not a loss. I’m sorry you are feeling so depressed. Peace and God bless!
 
praying for you. remember to pray to your guardian angel. He’s your best friend. 🙂
 
Hi Holly,

I returned to the church just a year ago after a 45 year sabbatical. I am just now
learning and DOING the suggestion you just received from a caf member to look
to Jesus and join your suffering to Him Who bore your and my sins on the
cross. Remember Holly by His stripes we are healed.

Holly, I am so sorry that you must carry the cross of depression. I will not pretend to know how you feel, but I do know how I feel when I am in a depression cycle and it can feel like you’re drowning in emptiness. (That may sound contradictory to those who haven’t been severely depressed, but trust me it’s often a pretty good description.)

I hope you and your boyfriend can make up and that your feelings of distance from God will cease soon. When I feel distant from God I try really hard to pray. Usually that’s the last thing you want to do at the time, but often it’s the thing you need to do most. If spontaneous prayer isn’t possible due to severe depression then pray a more structured prayer (i.e. the rosary, divine mercy chaplet, etc.).

Holly, I will remember you in my prayers this evening. God bless you and keep you.
 
Praying :gopray:

PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
 
Holly,
I certainly cannot understand God’s ways but I am convinced of this:
Our Lord would not allow the depression, and the distance you feel from Him tonight, if, in some way that only He knows, it were not for the good of your immortal soul.
Many here at CAF are praying for you and with you.
No matter how you feel, please pray with us and offer up your suffering – maybe your suffering can help a dear one in purgatory. Or maybe your suffering can alleviate some suffering in Pakistan, etc.

For Holly:

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of your dear Son Jesus Christ
In attonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
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.
 
Hey everyone. Thanks so much for praying for me. I took a nap and now I am feeling much better. I am nowhere near as depressed as I was earlier. Thanks!
 
Glad that you are doing better now. I will still be praying for you.
