My 10 year old son is suffering from anxiety and depression. I'm doing everything I can to help him. I don't know where else to turn, who to go to, what decisions to make. I am becoming depressed myself and I'm sick with worry. I feel despair and terror as I desperately try to save my child. I...

I recently stumbled on this. I hope it will bring some comfort and understanding on depression afflicting Christians. God Has Not Forgotten You, by David Wilkerson

I have been through the throes of depression and anxiety. Just yesterday a small "breakthrough" a glimmer of hope came to me. No doubt it was the Holy Spirit. But I walk a fine line. Stray a little to the left and I will be back in that pit. I can't do it anymore. Pray that my breakthrough...

I want to share something with all of you. I know its hard to grasp the concept of hope in the throes of anxiety or depression. But I used to say that the first step is to just believe in the "idea" of hope; That hope is a "thing" which exists. If you can just believe in the mere concept of it...

I'm too exhausted to talk about it. I used to have joy. I used to be alive. But now I'm drowning over something so irrational that it brings me shame and embarassment. Something must be wrong with me. How can something so irrational bring fear and depression? If you can spare a moment, please...

After much prayer I stumbled upon this video on anxiety. It helped me some, I hope it can help you too. At the very least it gives us something to think about. Even if it doesn't help the first time around, sometimes you have to keep re-watching something. May God bless you all with peace.

I'm crying. I'm lost. I'm confused. I magnify things to the point of fear. Oh God, get them away. Why am I afraid of people? I am afraid to speak up, afraid they'll get mad, afraid they'll cause more trouble, afraid they won't leave me...

There are those that say time isn't linear and that all of time is happening simultaneously (a physics thing). So if this is true, then can we pray for something that "occurred in the past". If someone was suffering 200 years ago, can we pray that God gives that person peace? Even if time is...

Yesterday (and today, but a little better), I was in a terrible state. Depression and anxiety weighed upon me. I was paralyzed with pain. I felt like an anchor was sitting on my chest and I could barely breathe. And the whole time I had to be strong for my little one, and be strong at work...

If this guy did it, so you can you! What an inspiring story: Arthur This guy was featured on the Doctors a few months ago, and his story has been circulating. Wish you all the best in health, strength, and weight loss. :)

I have been reading horrendous accounts of animal torture and cruelty. :cry: Please - I ask you all to join me in prayer. Let us pray that our merciful Lord will put an end to such acts against His precious creatures who we are entrusted to protect and care for, and that the animal victims are...

What kinds of things are you doing? I'm trying to eat healthier, excercise, and do yoga. I read sunlight helps too. Are any of you reading any books (other than the Bible) to help you? I tell you ... hanging on is always like trying to grip a thin thread. Its a lot of work. But one must try.

If you have a moment, please pray for me. My depression and anxiety has returned and I'm not doing well today. I am struggling so much. :cry: Please pray that I have the courage to face the "thing" that gives me anxiety. Pray the Lord lifts this incredible weight which sits on my heart. I...

I just discovered this beautiful instrument. For the longest time I was unable to identify that sound in many of the mediaevel, Rennaisance, and colonial songs. This instrument was used from mediavel well up until the 18th century and then it kind of fizzled .... Today its considered an ancient...

Do any of you ever feel that just one slip up - just one "giving into" the feeling of depression will send you a full blown "attack"? I constantly feel like I walk on the edge of depression. Just one little thing could set it off. So I fight hard. I look at the positive, analyze various...

Is this RC Bible the only version that comes as a direct translation from the Hebrew/Greek? Are there any other versions besides the Jerusalem that are translated directly from Hebrew/Greek? Thanks. - Winter

First, let me just say that I'm in love with British culture, history, food, etc., so much so, that this American here did the unthinkable: I tasted Marmite for the first time. And all I have to say, is this: :crossrc:Good Lord, how do you guys eat this stuff?? :o

Ok, let's say you're about 2 decades praying the Rosary and something happens that requires you to stop completely. For example, your baby just woke up from her nap and is screaming to get out of the crib, or a very important phone call, etc., etc. So then what do you do? Do you start all over...

Today is the Feast of St. Joseph - St. Joseph's Day. Its also "Father's Day" in many countries around the world. I'm not sure why or how that date got pushed to July in America ... but so be it. But, as a Catholic it makes total sense to me. He is after all, the patron saint of fathers...
