i have this necklace of saint dymphna, she's the patron saint of those with mental illness (and i seem to have a bit of that). i always take it off at night because it bothers be when i lay down, and in the morning i [usually] put it back on.
awkward photo of me because i don't [usually] take photos of me! |
there have been a few odd occasions where i've forgotten to put it on. when i have panic or anxiety attacks,
or i feel like i'm about to go into a [psychotic] fit, i'll hold the necklace and pray to her. but when i don't wear the necklace, it's terrible. i feel almost like i'm going to die.
most people i talk to think i'm just obsessive and i'm having another panic attack because i'm not wearing something that i always wear. but i believe it's her and the lord comforting me.
i've been struggling with faith for over a year now, though i haven't stopped fully believing, it sucks. but there are just little things that give me just a little more proof that christ is standing right next to me.
