I’m going thru a very serious bout with depression right now. I haven’t been sleeping or eating for several days. I keep having to take sleeping pills, and then they don’t work for longer than an hour or so. And I can’t take more than two, even though I’d like to take about eight just so I can sleep and not have to think about everything that’s going on.

If it weren’t for my kids, I think I’d almost be contemplating an act of stupidity. But it seems to me that my children are keeping me sane and at least somewhat rational.

Okay. Enough ranting.

Thanks, everyone, for all your prayers and support.

I was like that when my husband pass away. I felt very lost! What’s wrong? I will be praying for you!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us!
 
May you find comfort and peace meditating on our Lord’s Passion, consoling Him and loving Him. May you find strength and healing in the sacraments; may you cling to our Lord and cry out to him in your distress and receive his mercy and assistance. May our Lord put some good people in your life to love you and to share their goodness with you. Amen.
 
Prayer for Inner Healing
from Fr. Gabriel Amorth

Lord Jesus, you came to heal our wounded hearts. I beg you to heal the torments that cause anxiety in my heart. I beg you, in a particular way, to heal all who are the cause of sin. I beg you to come into my life and heal me of the psychological harms that struck me in my early years and from the injuries that they caused throughout my life.
Lord Jesus, you know my burdens. I lay them all on your Good Shepherd’s Heart. I beseech you - by the merits of the great, open wound in your heart - to heal the small wounds that are mine. Heal the pain of my memories, so that nothing that has happened to me will cause me to remain in pain and anguish, filled with anxiety.

Heal, O Lord, all those wounds that have been the cause of all the evil that is rooted in my life. I want to forgive all those who have offended me. Look to those inner sores that make me unable to forgive. You who came to forgive the afflicted of heart, please, heal my own heart.

Heal, my Lord Jesus, those intimate wounds that cause me physical illness. I offer you my heart. Accept it, Lord, purify it and give me the sentiments of Your Divine Heart. Help me to be meek and humble.

Heal me, O Lord, from the pain caused by the death of my loved ones, which is oppressing me. grant me to regain peace and joy in the knowledge that you are the Resurrection and the life. Make me an authentic witness to your resurrection, your victory over sin and death, your living presence among us. Amen.
 
Dear Lord, keep Scout close to you so Your love and healing may be felt in his soul. Open his eyes to the beauty of Your world that surrounds us from sunrise to sunset and even in the darkest hours. Bring peace, dear Lord, to your child, Scout.

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.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Praying for you and your family. I know how it feels. I think everyone feels depression at some point in their lives but you will get through it. Please have faith. God bless you.
 
Praying hard for you and your needs. May Our Lord grace you with an awareness of His faithful love and presence in your daily life and may Our Lady take you under her motherly care.

Jesus, Prince of Peace, Have mercy on us!
 
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

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
AMEN

In the name of The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit
AMEN

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and concern. They are very much appreciated.

I am doing a little better today. Not nearly as great as I could be, because there are situations that still need to be discussed and resolved, but I am slightly better and do see a very, very small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks again.
