Dear all

I really need your prayers.

A few years ago I was suffering from anxiety and depression and my life wasn’t good. With medical support, I realized that I have had this for years. At the same time I lost my father to cancer. I went through therapy and was on medication until recently.

Meantime, I got married and I have so wanted my life to be “normal” but I haven’t felt comfortable with myself and am still affected by feeling very low about in my life. I feel like I want to be a good husband but I am plagued by sin / doubts / sadness.

I have felt so anxious / uptight recently that I have decided to go back on the medication, and I’m due to see the doctor tomorrow.

I want health.

But I also want to be fit for my marriage. I cannot help harbour unfaithful thoughts, but it is more to do (I know) with feeling like I should just not be a burden on my wife and therefore be on my own. But such thoughts lead to other sins and that upsets me further.

I do hope someone out there will understand and can “stay with me” as I battle through this recurring nightmare.

Many thanks.
 
For your prayer request:

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.

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 our death.
Amen.

God Bless You

We are so glad to have you with us!

Always post your prayer request with this wonderful group of people. This prayer group works!

Never be ashamed to take the medication… remember… it is a medical problem if the medication corrects it.

I’m praying for you now!
 
Thank you all for praying for me.

I have woken up this morning very tearful and anxious.

I feel so bad about myself I can hardly cope.

I feel like I have so many problems that I cannot tell my wife about.
 
I pray for your condition, which is hard to live with. I pray God will give you relief from your anxiety, and heal you for your sake as well as for your family’s. May He bless you with good health always.
 
Hello there!
I want you to know that I’ve been praying for you…Don’t worry about all the anxiety…it’s just a part of the process of growing roots.Just let all the clutter be…God will clear it up for you.
And let our Mother embrace you…no fears,simply RUN to her asap,and don’t let go!

Hail Mary! Mother of Sorrows, PRAY FOR THIS DEAR CHILD OF YOURS!
Hail Mary! Mother of all those who are afflicted, REMEMBER THIS PRECIOUS SON OF YOURS!
All the best!
 
Give yourself a break!! I also suffer from anxiety and depression. Along with a few other things. I’m on medication and seeing a therapist every other week. It has been a great help to me. Don’t be ashamed to see a doctor and to go on meds. And try to be as honest with your wife as possible. We all need support from those we love. :signofcross: :hug1:
 
The problem is I’m ashamed of things I’ve done I don’t want my wife to know about.

I don’t feel I could possibly talk to her about these things.

But I feel guilty around her all the time.

I feel totally trapped and isolated. I need to talk to someone. I’d talk to a priest but I don’t know he’d have time and then I’m sure he’d say I owe it to my wife to talk to her.

I have been feeling sick and tearful all day now. Have tried to pray but so panicky about everything I can’t relax at all.
 
Have you made your doctor appointment yet?
Also, there has got to be a Church, Cathedral, Shrine or Monastary in your area that you could call and ask to talk to a Priest, you may have to make an appointment for that too but at least start making your phone calls. I don’t think telling your wife is going to help you right now, you need to talk to the Doctor first probably, then the Priest, I will keep you in my prayers throughout the day and always. Just do one thing right now, call the Doctor if you already have, call for an appointment with one of the Priest.
 
“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our suls”
“My Jesus pardon and mercy, by the merits of Thy Holy wounds.”
 
Praying for your intentions…

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Many thanks to all of you.

After your messages I went to see a deacon and opened up a bit, and then I have been to confession. I am due to see a therapist tomorrow morning.

So, please pray for me on this next step. I still feel dreadful about myself!

How does one “feel” God’s forgiveness? At times, it feels very intangible…
 
Praying for you to find peace of mind and feeling great about yourself!
 
I am thinking about and praying for you and yours!
