I have a tendency when isolated to send out emails to people. Sometimes it is o.k. for me to do this, but sometimes I take it too far.

Tonight I emailed a woman to tell her that I was interested in Catholicism. This seems fine in and of itself, but I broke my own rule about limiting that type of contact.

This can happen when I am in the manic phase of a bipolar cycle.

Please pray for me that I will have the fruit of self-control.

Thanks,

dsully
 
Lord, shower dsully with your peace. Bring them self-control when they need it most. Keep them even-keeled and calm, and never allow then to feel isolated. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
 
Hello, Dsully. It’s humbling and encouraging to me when people are open about their weaknesses. Recently, I went about studying Alcoholics Anonymous. The Serenity Prayer is wonderful, almost inescapable. … I paste it here…

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

A support group, addressing the isolation, might be something attuned to the self-control you seek. All the best… my prayer with you, and all who seek to be controlled by God’s Love… take are.
 
We all make mistakes and are sometimes distressed by them. :hug3:
Jesus please guide dsully in handling life and decisions with wisdom even when this is most difficult.
Please assist dsully in searching for Your truths, and in living peacefully.
 
Thanks for the prayers. It turns out she wrote me back and encouraged my seeking out Catholicism. She even included a link to one of Bl. J.P. IIs encyclicals, on the Eucharist. She also said she’d pray for me. Not a big deal! Thanks for your prayers.
 
St Dymphna, St Kateri, Our Lady, Angels and Saints, please join us praying for dsully.
