Severe depression. Can't keep doing this

[Robyn_p]

Hi everybody. I just wanted to say thank you again for all your prayers and give a quick update.

I went to Mass today, and for the first time in years I really felt Jesus with me in the Eucharist. I felt him break down whatever it was that was is in me that was suffocating me for so long. It’s hard to explain. I knew how much he loved me and how much I meant to him. There were no words, just…peace. I felt happy. I cried during communion, which I’ve never done before. Not the bad kind of tears though, the good kind. I wasn’t ready for that. I’m not really an emotional person. But it felt good to feel something again.

Anyways, I know I’m not out of the woods yet, there’s going to be bad days again, but I feel stronger to face them. Things only started to look up for me when you all started praying for me, so for that I am really grateful. Prayer does work. I started to doubt that before, but now I see it. So all you Prayer Warriors, never think that what you do doesn’t matter. It does immensely.

The love here is amazing. When I was feeling so alone, you guys really came through, even though I’m just a stranger on the internet. God bless every single one of you. :heaven:

-Robyn

Prayers of thanksgiving offered.

Honestly, I don’t really view my fellow Christians on here as strangers, but more so of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Anyway, glad to hear all this, and will continue to keep u in prayer, though.

Lord, have mercy upon Robyn. Surround her with light, joy and peace. Amen.

I have those mind-numbing depressions and anxieties as well.
When I can’t even focus enough to finish a prayer, I just simply make myself present to the cross, suffer with Christ, and endure.
The cross is fruitful. When we suffer with him he will bear fruit in our lives.

Dear Robyn,

I will pray to St. Dymphna to help and intercede for you!

**Most dear Jesus,
filled with sorrow during the agony in the garden,
covered with a sweat of blood while praying,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
delivered into the hands of the wicked by a kiss,
bound like a robber,
and abandoned by your disciples,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
condemned to death by an unjust Council,
taken as an evildoer before Pilate,
and ridiculed by the wicked Herod,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
publicly shorn of your garments,
and most cruelly scourged at the pillar,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
crowned with thorns,
beaten and blindfolded,
clothed in rich purple and mocked,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
likened to the infamous Barabbas,
rejected by your people,
and unjustly sentenced to death,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
burdened with the weight of the Cross
and led to the place of execution like a lamb to the slaughter,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
reckoned with the wicked, blasphemed, and derided,
and given gall to drink to mitigate your pain,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
dying on the Cross in the presence of Mary,
pierced with a lance that drew blood and water from your side,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
taken down and placed in the arms of your Sorrowful Mother,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
horribly bruised and marked with five wounds,
annointed for burial and placed in a tomb,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

My Jesus,
I thank you for dying on the Cross for my sins.
Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Amen.

Robyn, my friend, I really hope things have gotten better. You’re always just completely welcome to private message me. But I know that’s basically just weird and uncomfortable, so I just hope you’re doing well!
