St. Dymphna Comments
Dymphna was fourteen when her mother died. Damon is said to have been afflicted with a mental illness, brought on by his grief.

Saint Dymphna, I ask for your divine intercession in this time of great worry for me. 6 weeks ago, I used a drug that gave me a very bad trip, and has since made me anxious at all times, depressed and have psychosis. I hadn't ever suffered from mental illness before, and do not know what's happening right now, or if I'm thinking straight. I ask your help to cope, as it is very difficult and I am finding it tough to want to get out of bed any day. I had always gone to mass in my life, but in the past year, I have let myself slip. I had always prayed every night before, but in the past year, I almost stopped entirely. Now, I am praying to our Lord for help and forgiveness, and I ask that you help me in these prayers. Amen.

Dear St. Dymphna:
Please interceed for my inner healing of depression and anxiety. I live a meaningless life filled with sadness, I live mostly in bed and pray that the Lord will listen to your prayers on my behalf. I'm afraid this three year depression when put me in a mental institution. I do not know where else to turn, dear St. Dymphna. My family suffers from not having their mother and wife available as a normal human being, I desperately want my life back, not this mere existence. Thank you for your prayers.
Please Saint Dymphna...please watch over my 21 year old daughter who has multiple mental illnesses. She is a young mother and has been suffering from this affliction for around 6 years.

I pray for your help and guidance to help her return to a functional person who can take good care of her child. I ask this in your name. Amen.

Please Saint Dymphna, I have Bipolar Disorder and have studied Psychology to help those who I can help. I think thsi is God's will and pray daily.
I thought God wanted me to work in this area, because of events in my life.
I want to get a job counselling, and to complete my Psychology training, but as this is my second career my age seems to make this really difficult.
I will accept God's will if I have got it wrong, but please pray for me. I really thought I had received a call. I really think I have a lot to give.
Saint Dymphna please hear my prayers and interceade for me and help heal me and take away my pain.
Dear St. Dymphna, I pray for your intercession in healing my brother who is suffering from Paranoid Personality Disorder. Please take away his anxiety, his paranoia, his evil thoughts and violent tendencies. Please do not allow him to lay a finger on our mother just like he said he would. Calm him and teach him to be kind.
I would also like to pray that you keep our mother safe and sound ALWAYS. Please give her (and our family) the strength and courage to deal with this problem.
Amen.
