Have her pray to ask the Blessed Mother for help. I used to be troubled by depression. It was awful. I would just die inside if someone said the wrong thing etc. I prayed and prayed. One day I decided to ask Our Lady for help. Soon after, without my realizing it, I was healed. I remember thinking, "Hmmm...omigosh, it's been a long time since I've been depressed."

That was over 15 yrs. ago. I no longer go into a tailspin over some problem, flaw, or whatever.

Thank you, Jesus, and thank you, Blessed Mother, for obtaining this great favor for me..

I will pray for Megan.

I will also pray for you, Angelique. Remember, the Church is divine and it is all too human. And Our Lady warned at LaSalette (look up her message in Google.com) that things in the Church will not be peaches and cream--that we will be betrayed by those consecrated to her Son). Also, look up Catholic Family News. The lead story this month is how St. Peter Damian spelled it out in startingly clear and modern language how bad a problem (and how unadressed) homosexuality was over 1000 yrs. ago.

Despondency is a tactic of the devil.

Fight the good fight! "Lord, you have the words of eternal life. Where would we turn?" (my recollection of Peter's reply to Jesus at the end of John:6.)

I often wonder how many people who take antidepressants wouldn't need them if they just knew how to ask for His help. You just put it all in His hands and not your own, as you know. I'm so glad you are OK. Your post was very uplifting!
