Hi. I’ve been having a difficult time with school. Im trapped with too much on my plate and feeling shame for being a “failure”. A number of times I’ve become suicidal this year. I know this is the worst sin yet but I have panic attacks and my mind goes on meltdown. Praying has helped when the panic attacks aren’t there. Otherwise i rely on benzos to calm me down which aren’t helpful for studying. Ive been trying to get medical help but I’ve been stuck in this Kafkaesque bureaucratic situation. Anyway, Im at a point where I sleep through the entire weekend and something just has to give. I am trying another doctor soon. I’ve prayed to Mary to bring me an answer when i was praying the Rosary and what I feltwas her reply was that it is inside of me. And this makes sense as I’ve always dealt with anxiety and depression but especially anxiety since high school. The worst is that i want to help others but school is so time consuming. I dont know what I was thinking taking a full course loa.d with ADD Thank you all … Michele
 
Michele,

Jesus loves you and is with you at all times. He is there with you right now. I pray for you.
 
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
 
PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL

St. 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 thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen…

:console:

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace,
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to
comfort than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
 
Lord, grant ministering angels to comfort Michele whenever she is faced with despair and depression. Send her graces to cultivate in her life the virtues of joy, fortitude, and magnanimity. Mary, pray with us for this precious child of God’s. Amen. :gopray2:
 
I will pray for you.

But, perhaps the only thing for you to feel better is to not put yourself under SO much pressure.

I know: You do have a need to succeed in life.

I’m not suggesting that you just give up in life and…well, you know, become a slacker…or, Heaven forbid, be someone everyone will regard as a “Loser”!

I am suggesting that perhaps you can think of or find some way to achieve the success you need in some path that does not so CRUSH you BEING.

Just think. If you stay on this vocational track you are on, will it every get any better for you until you retire at age 65 or so? In other worlds, are you in some field that just isn’t right for you?

Are you pushing yourself beyond what is really feasible for you?

Are you doing something like majoring in accounting when you would be better off in culinary school? Okay, don’t laugh. I’ve heard some culinary school graduates make decent money. But, whatever the various alternatives might be for you, look into that.

Sometimes when you are suffering, it is God knocking on your door because he is trying to tell you something. Prayer and antidepressant medications might not be the right thing for you. Changing course might be.

But, again, I am NOT recommending that you “just chill” and give up in life. You do need to achieve things. You do need a viable occupation, and one that your parents and key peers will respect.

But I am saying is that if what you are doing now is killing you, literally, by driving you almost to suicide, then you need to get out of this murderous career track. Or, at least, really think about.

God bless 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.

My A’s are in accounting, finance, stats… I truly enjoy these classes.The knowledge is there but I have problems with organization. That effects me no matter what I do!
I think what I most fear is to be stuck counting receipts when I want to be auditing big corporations. Im under time pressure from my parents though. My father is helping me out with the rent. I work 14 hrs a week to buy the little stuff i need. Still its too much to juggle all these courses.
Some good news, i managed to get an appointment with my family doctor and I’ve started an antidepressant. At least it’s something.
Thank you all for your prayers!!
