Prayers for Someone Struggling With Mental Health and Antisemitism

Over the past few years, especially the last two years, I have been following the news closely, especially reports of antisemitism. And it has taken a toll on my mental health. I didn’t realize how much until the last few weeks, when I had a breakdown.

Since then, with the help of some very devoted friends, I have been trying to take care of myself. I have deleted all social media and tried to focus on helping others, including getting more active in my synagogue. I am trying to practice tikkun olam–we are helping a Jewish refugee family, making meals for community members in need, donating tzedakah, and reading Jewish books.

But, if I’m being honest, it has been hard. I would appreciate any prayers you can give, or advice you have, for someone who is struggling with my mental health and prejudice. Toda raba.
