Dear All,
I am asking for some prayer support please for Frank.  He is a 50 year old male who carries with him bleak black despair, anger, resentment, unrest and unhappiness. And for a long long time I have been trying to do lots of prayer work and spiritual work with Frank, new and old...
 
I am almost loosing my tennacity to "stick with this" for want of a better phrase. I am almost thinking he may have what we used to call "manic depression", only the highs are very few and far between, and the least tiny teeny thing like "would you like a cup of tea" can set off a trigger that is the storm that should be contained in a tea cup but lights up the whole house.
 
My strength with this is almost zilch..... I am almost at the "so be it" stage when I know I cannot help. I cant any more. I am past it really.
 
I am a great believer in prayers. I think it has helped us over the last four years when all of this seemed to start.  Now it is an ocean, with more incoming waves of nastiness that I dont' have the where with all to deal with. When I do try, it does subside after a bit, but comes back. Trouble is when it comes back, it is triggered more quickly, more easily, and the trigger can be anything. It is like living with a 6 foot teenager who has 2 year old tantrums, who has split up with the love of their life, the worlds against them, and so you are too, they cannot see any light at the tunnel and there is for days, weeks, months, this tunnel that they travel down and hurl what ever they can at it, and then almost as easily as they went down the tunnel, they come out for a time.  Only thing is the times they are out seem to be  getting shorter and shorter.
 
I cant talk to them, and although doctors are involved at the minute it seems it is for physical investigations rather than depression or any other mental health issue. It may not be a mental health issue I know. Perhaps it is just their nature. I dont know. But prayers for a helpful, positive resolution would be welcomed please.
love and light
Gina and jackory

Dear Gina,
 
A very blessed New Year to you! I am sorry to hear about Frank. From what you tell us it seems that he needs professional help. You have done all you can. Please, don't wear yourself out trying to change what is not in you power. You can continue to support him with prayer. Once he gets whatever help/treatment he needs he might be more open to your help. I gladly join you in praying for him!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Gina,
Edda is right, it is up to Frank. What you could do is talk to your own doctor about the symptoms and how they impact on you. A doctor would have more idea about what the problem is. Frank may not be discussing this with his own doctor.
I will certainly pray and light candles for you and Frank.
 
Do take care of yourself and do what is best for you.
 
Much Love and Hugs, Jude
 

Love is the only way

Dear Gina
 
My thoughts are with you both right now,it seems Frank is is a very dark place and like Edda and Jude say I think he needs outside help.
 
I have been in contact with people who suffer like this and on many occasions like you I have felt drained and sad that I could not reach them.Their is light for Frank though as we all trun corners even when we feel their in no light in sight.
 
I am sure your help has not gone un noticed and with the help of Docotrs hopefully he will see sunshine again.
 
Take care of yourself and I will light a candle for you both.

Dear Gina,
 
I will light a candle and pray with you for Frank and also for your strength in this. Read the Serenity Prayer it will help you. Let us all surround him in love and light.
 
Love,
Diane

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are

Dear Gina . . .
I, like Diane, thought of the serenity prayer when I read your post.

everything counts... ♥

GINA, I'M SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT FRANK. YOU ARE SUCH A SPECIAL PERSON. I HOPE THAT MAYBE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO HIM SOON. I WILL LIGHT A CANDLE FOR YOU BOTH.

Dear Gina,

I could not believe my eyes when I read Diane's and Sparrow's post;the first thing that came across my mind while reading about your problems with Frank was the Serenity prayer!!!There must be some reason why we are all here(at this site),there are some invisible bonds between us and our prayers do help.
So,I will light a candle for Frank and pray for both of you...

With warm regards to you
Buba,Goran's mom

Dear Buba, you are so right when you say there are some invisible bonds linking us.
It's the thing about "When two of more are gathered together..."
 
Blessings to you, Jude

Love is the only way

Yes, Buba, I do believe that prayer makes a difference.
You are so right Jude . . .
This forum has taught me many things,
but I think most of all
it has taught me the importance of community.
with love . . .

dear all,
thank you so much. for lighting candles and for prayers.To Edda, Jude, Sandra, Sarrow, I am going to ask at the doctors.... also thank you for the tips Sandra, a lot of what you sent made sense. Diane, Sparrow - thank you for the prayer, the third line about the "wisdom to know" says a lot and that is probably what I have to learn right now...
To Buba, and Joya, there does seem to be invisible thread linking us all! and I do feel a bit better. I am in my "corner" upstairs with jack. I feel better when he is with me. I felt a bit isolated still do if i am honest. I will have to find a nice name for my corner. I think I will make up a motto of peace love and light, or maybe the serenity prayer, and put it nearby. Actually I think I will rename my corner "serenity..." i am sure all of this is for a reason, i just dont know what it is yet. f has had more tests and he tells me they are to do a cat scan on him. providing i spend time in "serenity" place here, he seems better and easier.
Maybe it is God's way of getting me out from under F's feet and making things worse. You never know, "grant me to accept things i cannot change".
with thanks to you all,
gina and jackory.

Dear Gina,
The hardest thing to do often, is to accept what is...I should know.
 
I'm glad you are feeling better. As I was reading your post I thought "Serenity Corner" and then you said it yourself. I shall imagine you and Jack in your Serenity corner.
 
Blessings and Love, Jude
 

Love is the only way

Dear Gina . . .
It sounds like you are prisoner in your own home.
I send you many blessings and as Jude sometimes says,
some fairy dust as well.
We all need a peaceful place.
You continue in my thoughts and prayers
with much love for you as you work your way through this challenge . . .

"Those who know your name will trust in you,
  for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who
  seek you."   Psalm 9:10
 
  I think Psalm's are my favorite when trying to understand my
 life.  There's not a problem King David didn't have.
  I can relate to him.  Maybe reading Psalms' will give you your answer on how to solve this problem.  Don't give up on Frank!
Blessings to you!

I’ve learned....
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
I’ve learned....
Prayer is the key to all problems.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to Frank
Amen
