This was posted in the AAA forum and I think it would fit in well here; it has more of a chance to be read here too:

"Over the past 6 months I have been going through a horrible time, I have just been feeling down, I have had severe anxiety before work or uni, both of which led to me dropping out of due to this anxiety and it is not getting better.
I am going to visit a psychologist tomorow, I personally can not grasp that something like this can get better but I have no other choice, I feel like a zombie like there is no life in me anymore, everything I do I feel like a robot.
If I go to find work I just feel anxious and hope that I don’t get the job because I simply just get the urge to vomit and cry when I think about working again, when I think of Uni the same thing happends. Right now the only place I feel comfortable is in my room sitting in a chair, I dont even have to be on the internet, I could simply stare at a wall thinking of the past and feeling better in those times. (I’m 18), I have so much self doubt, and simply don’t want to think positive anymore like as if I fear it.

I am not asking for a online resolution here, because I know that won’t help much, I need to seek help personally from professionals, but I just need some prayers to help me through this hopefully so I can see some light in this constant loop of darkness and start to enjoy life again.
Please.

Thank you so much everyone."

Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

"My soul, find peace in God alone,
for he gives me strength to endure.
It is he who is my God and my safeguard,
my stronghold: I shall never be shaken.

In God is my salvation and my glory,
God is my strength – my refuge is with God."
 
Thanks for sharing this. I already saw the post in Ask and Apologist’, and have PMd Dazzi, but I wasn’t as thoughtful as you, as to post a request for prayer. I’m so glad you did. God bless you for that. I’ve already promised prayer.
 
O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
Amen.
 
Mother of Perpetual Help,
To Thee we come imploring help.
Behold us here from far and near,
To ask of Thee our help to be.

Perpetual Help we beg Thee;
Our souls from sin and sorrow free;
Direct our wand’ring feet a - right,
And be Thy self our own true light.

And when this life is o’er for me,
This last request I ask of Thee;
Obtain for me in Heaven this grace,
To see my God there face to face.
Amen.
 
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary.

O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce thy sacred name, or even only think of thee. I thank God for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen.
 
We come to thee, O blessed Joseph, in our sore distress. Having sought the aid of thy most blessed spouse, we now confidently implore thy assistance also. We humbly beg that, mindful of the dutiful affection which bound thee to the immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and of the fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, thou wilt lovingly watch over the heritage which Jesus Christ purchased with His blood, and by thy powerful intercession help us in our urgent need.

Most powerful guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen race of Jesus Christ; drive far from us, most loving father, every pest of error and corrupting sin. From thy place in heaven, most powerful protector, graciously come to our aid in this conflict with the power of darkness, and as of old thou didst deliver the Child Jesus from supreme peril of life, so now defend the holy Church of God from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.

Have each of us always in thy keeping, that, following thy example, and borne up by thy strength, we may be able to live holily, die happily, and so enter the everlasting bliss of heaven. Amen.**

Thank you.

Dear Lord,
Help me to remember in these troubled times
The cross you carried for my sake,
So that I may better carry mine
And to help others do the same,
As I offer Dazzi’s recovery to you
For the conversion of sinners
For the forgiveness of sins
In reparation for sins
And for the salvation of souls. Amen
 
I’m only human, I’m just a man.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you’re looking below
It’s worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time. Amen.
 
Lord,
You invite all who are burdened
To come to You.
I come to You in this time
Of pain and suffering
To allow Your healing hand to heal me.
If it be Your will,
Bring me health
In body and spirit
That I may serve You
With all my strength.

0 dearest Comforter of the troubled,
Alleviate my worry and sorrow
With Your gentle love.

Touch gently this life
Which You have created,
Now and forever. Amen.
