GRIEF AND DEPRESSION

Hi Everyone.

In writing this, how I wish I can say that I am on the road to recovery from my DEPRESSION and ANGER this time for in assessment to my indication related to the Signs and Symptoms I am experiencing right now the majority of it are that;

  1. My sadness triggers my lost of interest in things I enjoyed to do everyday in where I am right now.
  2. I am with constant conflict with my husband in a less than a month of being together again.
  3. I’ve got a lot of disappointments lately unexpectedly from my family, from people I’ve looked up to and most of all to myself.
  4. My moods can shift from calm to anger instantly with huge amount of irritability especially towards my family.
  5. I am extremely in search of spending some quality time with long time friends who can help me cope up in my current situation.

These are the 5 Stages of Grief and loss;

  1. Denial, Numbness and Shock

  4. Anger
  5. Acceptance

Can I ask you to please join me in saying this prayer for Healing Depression below?

“I am terribly depressed, Dear Lord, and I need your help.

I come to You trusting in Your great love for me and believing You will not forsake me now.

Help me Lord, I am hurting badly and discouraged.

I feel so lost and empty with no sense of direction in whatever I am doing and where I am heading.

Everything around me seems to be dark and gloomy.

My present situation and thoughts about the future all seems hopeless.

Nothing seems to lift up my spirits any longer.

Even those things and activities that used to bring me joy all seem dull and meaningless these days.

I humbly beseech You now, Lord.

Please let me feel your loving presence, your loving care and concern, all Your tenderness melting my pain, and all my feelings of worthlessness.

Let Your powerful presence touch all areas of woundedness in my heart and in my spirit.

Deliver me from my fears, my anxieties and all negative feelings.

Hold my hand during these trying moments in my life, Lord.

Lead me to the right path, the right places, and the right people who can be Your instruments of healing and love.

Lord, I need Your strength now to keep my sanity during moments when I feel like I’m losing my mind and just giving up.

Help me to believe that this situation is only temporary and things will be better soon.

Help me to be able to cope, especially during moments when I feel so desperate.

Take care of my loved ones during these times when I feel unable to care for them.

Give me the grace to understand Your purpose behind this suffering that You have allowed me to experience.

Trusting that all things always work out for good for those who love You and those whom You call for Your purposes.

Jesus, my Lord and my God, You are my Refuge, my Hope, my Strength and my Divine Healer.

Please heal me and have mercy on me.

Deliver me from this depression and after I have been healed, let me bring Your glory and be a witness to Your love and healing power for others.

I pray all these in Jesus’ name through Mary and all the angels and saints. AMEN.”

That I may pass this stage to recovery and ACCEPTANCE sooner in accordance to His will.

And I Thank God for making me recognizes this things going on inside me.

God bless.
