So, I bought a money order and the agency that I made it out to says they have no record of cashing it so I called the company that sold me the money order and a lady with a messed up sounding attitude told me to fill out the form on the back of my customers copy, make out a check for $18 and mail it in and I will get a photo copy of the cashed money order so I can see who cashed it. So I did what she told me but instead I just got a form back from the money order company in the mail as if I wanted a refund. The lady told me I would get a photo copy of the cashed money order.

So I called again today and this same lady with a messed up attitude told said she cant give me information about what was going on with this money order because I made the money order out in my Grandmothers name. I was paying her property taxes. She is 84 years old and basically like a little girl again, she does not even know she has property taxes to pay so its no use to ask her to ask for the information. It would only cause her to get stressed out. So I asked to speak to a manager and she told me that she was the manager. So I did lose my cool (which I know was wrong) and this is what I said

“You know, you have a messed up attitude. You are going to make me go down to your office. You know what, but if you are the manager I guess there is nothing I can do about this anyway.” and then I hung up. I was thinking that I should go down to the office to see if I can be better helped in person and maybe talk to another person. I know that sometimes over the phone people claim to be the manager when they are not. But I figured that if she really is the manager there is nothing I can really do. I cant go over her head easily and I do not want to deal with this anymore, I decided after I hung up that I just will take the loss. It is my fault for writing the money order in my Grandmothers name instead of my own. I already re- paid my Grandmothers property taxes online.

I am now extremely worried that the lady I talked to might say I threatened her by what I said. I know I did not threaten her but given that she does not sound very nice to begin with I am worried she might say I did just for the heck of it because “You are going to make me go down to your office” sounds threatening. I realized this after I hung up. I did also say “but if you are the manager there is nothing I can do anyways” but I am worried that if the conversation was recorded she might even cut out that part somehow lol. I know I sound paranoid but I can be a paranoid person sometimes. :o

Please say a prayer for me that I will calm down about this. I know I cant be arrested because I did not make a threat. That is what my common sense and reasoning says. But my irrational side says “This lady is going to make a big deal about this and call the police and they are going to visit you someday soon and you may be taken in for questioning and maybe she might even lie and you will get arrested and have to bail out and lose a lot of money and miss a lot of work fighting a case for something you did not do.” I have just gotten over religious scrupulosity with the help of a spiritual director, but I have OCD and it shows itself in other ways like not being able to stop obsessing over things like this. Please pay that I can calm down and not lost sleep over this. I remember once a teacher of mine said I threatened her in high school but I did not. I said that she was treating me unfair and that I was going to do something about it by going to the principal, but she left out the part about me going to the principal in her story 🤷 It happened almost 20 years ago but it came to my mind is that this lady I talked to today can maybe do the same thing. What makes the matter worse is that I look like a scary guy sometimes so I can picture someone that does not know me just instantly believing that I probably would be guilty of something like this 😊 Thank you for your prayers. I will be more careful what I say in the future. I hope this all feels like a bad dream tomorrow.
 
Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.

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.
 
It is your OCD talking. You are safe. Ask Mary to help you be at peace. I’m praying for you.
 
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.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (LaughingBoy1503), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

 
Prayer for Anxiety

Heavenly Father,

When I feel crushed by my own worries,
Lift my mind and help me to see the truth.

When fear grips me tight and I feel I cannot move,
Free my heart and help me to take things one step at a time.

When I can’t express the turmoil inside,
Calm me with Your quiet words of love.

I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I can cast these cares on You, that you have taken these anxious thoughts and by dying on the cross, You have set me free.

I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I live in Your grace, forgiven, restored by Your sacrifice, You have set me free.

Amen.
 
It’s the OCD …relax … all will be well … except for you having to pay the property taxes twice … that stinks. Never buy a money order from anyplace but a bank and always buy it in your own name … property taxes can be paid by anyone … doesn’t have to be your grandmother’s name … use your own name.

I said a prayer for you. But here is a piece of advice that may make things easier for you in the future–if your grandmother is not competent enough to pay her bills, etc., see a lawyer and get a Power-of-Attorney (POA) to act in her name. It will save you a lot of trouble because of privacy laws, etc. Many companies will not give out information or deal directly with another person unless they have permission or a POA. I am having this problem while trying to settle things after my stepfather’s death because my mother’s mind seems to be deteriorating and she gets panicky when asked questions and can’t remember simple answers, and then I have to take over, and not having POA has been troublesome. Thankfully, this will be taken care of soon.
 
Praying for your intention. It’s ok if your mind keeps bringing it up. What if this? What if that? Just mock the thoughts when they come, acknowledge and then ignore them and your mind will eventually deem them not important. Ask the thought can you yell me what will happen if this what if comes true? . It will not able to answer you. So the question keeps coming back. And you keep trying to solve the problem. Instead, the thought is just words that cannot hurt you. Ignore them and they will have less of an emotional effect on you. Instead of tormenting you it will just be a thought that is dismissed. Do you know what’s going to happen? Of course not. Don’t worry about the future event. Be in the present moment now. Is anything bad happening to you now? Is anyone hurting you now? You don’t know what the future moment will be like. It is the worrying about the future moment that builds up all that nervous energy. Your imagination is what is hurting you in this case. The only thing you really know is the present moment. The future is in your imagination. Also, pray the rosary. Your body needs a steady diet of good thoughts. Pray always as they say.
 
Praying for you. You should be fine but I will keep you in my prayers!
 
Thanks everyone for your prayers. I feel 99.9% better today. I just needed a day.

This is definitely a lesson learned. Although I am out a couple hundred bucks, I do not care. I learned a lot that will help me in the future. I would rather make a mistake and learn a lesson with a couple hundred bucks than a few thousand! 🙂 And My mother has power of attorney over my Grandmother. But my mother is struggling with excess bills right now plus I just moved into my own place out of my Grandmothers house (To get away from my uncle who annoys the heck out of me, not to get away from my Grandmother) so she cannot rely on my monthly rent money anymore to pay Grandmas house payment. She has it under control but I offered to pay the taxes to kind of give her a break with something. I am at peace with the situation. I already re-paid online and I am never using a money order again. Even if I could get my money back, I do not want to deal with that company again. I would rather just move on. I wont get my Mother or Grandmother involved at all even if they could get me my money back. I am just thankful to have peace of mind again.

Thanks everyone.
