All my life I have suffered from anxiety…starting as far back as I can remember. When I was a kid…I didn’t realize what anxiety was (and is) and the incredible toll it can take on a body, soul, and mind and energy. Every day I pray for all people who suffer from anxiety and depression and I am asking, very humbly, for prayers for my own struggles in my life. I feel like I am pulled in so many directions…I have so many pressures…I’ve lost all my joy and am just basically existing every day to do the best job I can at work, and taking care of my family. There are days, like this morning, when I am actually sad to wake up because I know that the only relief I have received from my struggles is when I am asleep. Sometimes…I truly feel like a “dead man walking”. I am getting professional help…I pray a lot…I attend Mass 1-2 times per week. The only thing keeping me going is my faith, God, Jesus, Mary, and the Saints along with my kids and my knowing that they need me.
I am facing a year of uncertainty, change, and with that…an incredible amount of stress. I simply do not know if I have the strength to handle everything that will be coming my way. Because of this uncertainty…my fears have taken me to dark places which make me horribly sad. Thank goodness I have a church close by where I go and sit…it always helps.
For any prayers you can offer for me…prayers of strength, protection, help, guidance etc…I would be forever grateful. I will also be praying every day for everyone else who may be going through difficult times in their lives, and especially those dealing with mental illness. Unless a person actually experiences it and understands…words simply cannot describe.
Thank you so much
