I'd like to thank you for taking the time to maintain this list; and to thank everyone who has prayed for me to overcome the obstacles I have in forming meaningful relationships with others. It's worked wonders: I've found my relationships with family dramatically improving over the past few weeks; a few coworkers at my new job are on their way to becoming friends; and I'm finding that improving myself in this regard is a lot easier than it was before I posted my request to the prayer list.

I would like, at this time, to change the focus of the prayers for me. I've realized that a lot of my problems stem from a mental health issue: I have been depressed for nearly my entire life, if not the whole thing. I'm able to function, mostly, but it has impaired a lot of aspects of my life. This is the root cause of the issues I have with forming relationships, among many other issues; and as I've worked on self improvement, I've kept coming back to this ugly feeling, and I know I need to tackle it before I can go much further with any of my efforts at self improvement.

I'm not sure I can do this on my own, but I'm quite confident that with the aid of the gods, I will be able to overcome my depression. At this time, therefore, I'd appreciate prayers for assistance in overcoming my depression from any and all who wish to make them on my behalf.
