I am desperately trying to get a hold of my depression and anxiety. It has led me to do really incredibly stupid things to get a reprieve from it. I started taking pain medications just to diminish the mental pain and now I have to get off those awful drugs. I am seeing a therapist but it does not seem to help. I am losing hope and I cannot imagine going the rest of my life feeling like this. It is a dark whole I wish no one else to be in. Thank you.
 
You are in my prayers , may God show you much love and mercy through these difficult times,

O my Jesus
Forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of Hell
lead all souls to Heaven
especially those most in need of thy mercy.
AMEN
 
Dear sadgirl7248, first off, I am bi-polar. I’m not a medical expert but I do know a little about what you are going through. It may be hard, but getting off the pain meds is a must. This will only be another problem for you to fix. Now, what kind of doctor is the “therapist”? Right now, you need a psychiatrist immediately to get the appropriate meds that you need to start breaking the depression. It may take a couple of weeks, but bear with it, the result will be worth the wait. If the “therapist” is not a psychiatrist, and is doing just the talk therapy, if you don’t like him/her, chuck ‘em. Plenty of fish in the sea. Finding the right talk therapist for you can take time, so go get an MD first for your meds.

But before anything else, a prayer:

Saint Dymphna, a great wonderworker in every affliction of mind and body, I humbly implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick.

You are filled with love and compassion for the thousands of patients brought to your shrine for centuries, and for those who cannot come to your shrine but invoke you in their own homes or in hospitals. Show the same love and compassion toward us, your faithful clients. The many miracles and cures which have been wrought through your intercession give us great confidence that you will help us in our present need: total health for sadgirl7248

I am confident of obtaining my request, if it is for the greater glory of God and the good of my soul. For the sake of Jesus and Mary, whom you loved so earnestly, and for whom you offered your life in martyrdom, grant our prayer.

Saint Dymphna, young and beautiful, innocent and pure, help us to imitate your love of purity. You chose to be martyred by your own father’s sword rather than consent to sin. Give us strength and courage in fighting off the temptations of the world and evil desires. As you have given all the love of your heart to Jesus, help us to love God with our whole heart and serve Him faithfully. As you bore the persecution of your father and the sufferings of an exile so patiently, obtain for us the patience we need to accept the trials of our life with loving resignation to the will of God.

Saint Dymphna, through your glorious martyrdom for the love of Christ, help us to be loyal to our faith and our God as long as we live. And when the hour of our own death comes, stand at our side and pray for us that we may at last merit the eternal crown of glory in God’s Kingdom.

Good Saint Dymphna, I beg you to recommend our request to Mary, the Health of the Sick and Comforter of the Afflicted, that both Mary and you may present it to Jesus, the Divine Physician.

O God, You gave Saint Dymphna to Your Church as a model of all virtues, especially holy purity, and willed that she should seal her faith with her innocent blood and perform numerous miracles. Grant that we who honor her as patroness of those afflicted with nervous and mental illness may continue to enjoy her powerful intercession and protection and attain eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
 
Thank you so much! It means so much that someone even responded. St. Dymphna is my patron saint:) She is who I chose when I joined the church a few years ago and I am hoping to get back to church tomorrow. The guilt of what I have done has kept me away.

I do have a psychiatrist and he wants me to try the antidepressant Lexapro. I have heard such bad things about them, any people saying “it is just another drug” “you should just get over it” etc. It is hard when people don’t understand GAD or depression.

what is your full name ms. sadgirl?
 
Hello sweets, (looking for heart icon but can’t find one… 🤷)

Please know to listen to your psych doc regarding the anti-depression pills. I did! This disease is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain that drugs will help. Like NeedsMercy mentioned it may take just a few short weeks to take effect. Its good you know most people do NOT understand this condition. It is not something one can “just get over with the snap of a finger”. Perhaps, he could help you meet others in a therapy group with similar conditions. It is an amazing feeling to be in a group that understands and identifies with you. Just ask the doc if he knows of such a group. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. I’m certain St. Dymphna is interceding for you, too! 👍 Please let us all know how you’re doing through the next few days and weeks! GBU always 🙂
 
O Lord, listen to our prayer
And let our cry for help reach you.
Do not hide your face from us
in the day of our distress.
Turn your ear towards us Lord and answer us!
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.

I am so sorry you are suffering this way.I know first hand myself and also my youngest son who is 22 has suffered since he was 12 and turned to alcohol for ‘help’ and got into lots of trouble.He is now in the process of changing his medication (he starts new one on Saturday as he had to be weaned off the previous meds which did not help him).
My suggestion is to go to your doctor and ask for help for medication that will help with anxiety and depression and to be weaned off the painkillers.
I hope and pray you can get the help you need from your doctor.
God bless

Lord please guide sadgirl to get the help she needs and please guide her doctor to be able to help her in every way she needs.Lord surround her in Your love for her and may she be comforted.Please grant her strength to overcome the anxiety and depression.Thankyou Lord for hearing our prayers and for Your many blessings 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
 
O great Healer, Christ, we give you thanks for the help that has been made available to us when we are sad and depressed. May you work in this dear ones life to free her from depression and to know your joy.

Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
 
Sadgirl, I am sorry to hear about how you are feeling and know from personal experience the absolute hell that depression, anxiety, and then drug use can be.

Dear blessed virgin Mary, please pray for this young lady that your son will provide her the strength and comfort that she needs to seek the help necessary to feel better.

Dear Lord please provide this young lady with strength, comfort, and wisdom. Guide her to help and do not let her suffering be in vain.

Amen.
 
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be

St. Dymphna has gotten me through a lot of mean times. I know she’ll come through for you, too. sadgirl7248, DO NOT LISTEN to the folks who tell you stuff like “snap out of it” or “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” etc. They haven’t a clue! Listen to your doctor. Try some meds. And pray, pray, pray! Can you feel any worse than you do now?
