I need prayer...

[Michie]

I'm worried sick & feel like I'm starting to fight a bout of depression. Given the recent events on the murder/suicide in the family I'm worried about my SIL who I have wrote about before.

She suffered a breakdown & her soon to be ex-husband has threatened suicide (before she asked for divorce in the past).

I can't stop thinking about it. It keeps crossing my mind. My sleep is screwed up.

Please pray for them & my peace. I don't know how much longer I can deal with these obsessive fears & thoughts.

Thank you.

Michie

I pray The Lord helps you and your family in need. I pray everything turns out ok and you're able to sleep better. God Bless you.

Thanks Josh. Sleep deprivation on top of everything else really makes you lose your peace!

You and your family have my prayers.

Consider, if you haven't yet, Seeing your Doctor. Anti-depressants may well be over-prescribed, but they are a God send for some. I'm a better person with Lexapro than I am without.

I was on prozac for a time along with some other meds that did not work well for me. The prozac got in back in order. I'm hoping this is just stress but it is getting to me.

I'm going to give it some time. But I do appreciate the prayers.

Lord I pray for both Michie and her Sister in-law. I pray Lord that you will lift the vale of her depression and fill her heart with your spirit. I pray Lord that you will grant her rest and peace.

 

[MikeK]

If I'm not mistaken, Prozac has more side effects and is sometimes less effective than some of the newer drugs. Your milage may vary, but it's worth inquiring about if you haven't recently. I know it works different for everyone, but Lexapro truncated my anxiety without changing anything else. Years ago I tried Zoloft, that wasn't good for me, I noticed a real change in my (awesome) personality from it.

At any rate, I'm sorry. I'll offer a decade of the rosary for your intentions right now.

I will pray for you Michie. Please consider seeing your doctor. There are so many new, safer and more effective drugs on the market. I'm on Lexapro and there's a huge difference than anything else I've tried.

When I can't sleep because of disturbing things like this, I pray for others. Not to sound holier than thou, but I find it works some. As I am doing so, I imagine them walking beside me. Each new person I pray for joins the group as we walk along. It's so peaceful.

When things are really bad, like what you're going through, I purposefully pray the "smaller" prayers at those times. I have ADHD on top of the depression and it is somehow easier and more effective.

I will be praying for you and your family.

 

[Tigg]

You sure have my prayers and your family as well. Good advise from others.

 

[Gwendolyn]

Do you see a therapist at all, Michie? Sometimes it is good to have someone to talk to who can offer you the tools to deal with such difficult situations. You sound like you are carrying the world on your shoulders, but you don't have to carry it alone. We here will offer what we can for you. <3

 

[Chrystal-J]

Praying for a covering of protection from the Lord. May you be surrounded by His love!

 

[Feisty_Angel]

Michie, I love you so. And am praying for you and your family. Snuggle with Miloand a couple of the others and remember we are all here for you. I am praying for your peace of mind and heart. &#9829; &#9829;

In the meantime, perhaps your doctor may be able to prescribe something to help you sleep. Proper rest and nutrition will help some with all your dealing with. *HUGE HUGS*

Hi there, Michie!

As always, you have my prayers. I agree with our friends who are suggesting discussing things with your doctor. I sure wish I had done this when my issues were starting years ago. Life would have been a lot less painful

 

[Peacedove]

Dear Lord we pray for Michie and ask you would give confirmation of which medication and therapies she needs. Please give some comfort as she travels through this valley.

Amen

 

[Chococat]

Praying for your peace of mind Michie

Lord, grant Michie (and the rest of us) the grace to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Especially the wisdom.

 

[S.ilvio]

So sorry to hear this Michie. Hang in there girl...

Prayers for you, Michie.

I know the circumstances are different, but the men spoken of are still dealing with a sense of loss. Perhaps something similar could benefit you, as well? I believe you like to garden; maybe plant a bed of flowers in your loved one's memory, perhaps even invite others who may be hurting to get involved... My heart goes out to you and yours.
