I'm back, but I got to take it easy. Look at this:

[i]St. Dymphna, my friend in Christ, my Patroness in the Faith, soothe my suffering, melt my sorrow, and pray for me, for the return of my better senses.

Embrace me in the arms of your compassion. Kiss me with a Holy Kiss. You who died so that we may know that we are loved and forgiven, pray for us, for all your intentions. Guide the pens of all our physicians, and for those who are too poor for a one, melt their affliction with the warmth of your prayers.

And I, St. Dymphna, will pray for your intentions. Amen.[/i]

I like it, I just hope it shows the respect proper to a Saint.

I have a history of depression. When you unite your sufferings with Christ and offer them up, it makes all the difference in the world. It is my gift. :wub:

It's not so much depression as fear, and worry. I need to get a steady job now that I'm done with high school, but it's so weird, so uncharted what it is expected of me from day to day now.

You might find a lot of people telling you that it is "sink or swim," but life is too complex to be reduced to that. It's just an adjustment. Give yourself a chance to grow. You might find that you'll do better than you thought you would, in the end.

I'll be praying for you.

PS Give yourself permission to make a few false starts.
