Dear St. Dymphna, I have mental illness since 1996. One doctor told me that I have Schizophrenia. Now, doctors tell me that I have a Bipolar Disorder. I take medications everyday and now I feel fine. Jesus Christ, I thank to my family and my friends who was taking care of me when my mental illness recurred, to all of my friends and family who had visited me in mental hospital. I pray to You, Jesus, and I also pray to St. Dymphna, so that one day my mental illness can be cured totally. I also pray for those who has mental illness or disorders, so all of you can be cured totally, and can enjoy this life again. May God bless you all who care for me, and may God bless you all who has mental disorder like me. Jesus Christ, have pity on me.
