I need packages of prayers! I am a total wreck. I am not very responsible. This internet, and computer for that matter, have become too addicting to me, and I have been trying to get away little by little. I also have a hard time seeing myself do as well as anyone, hence another reason why I have been getting behind in all of my classes besides the internet addiction. I have a really really hard time focusing on anything now. I used to do better in high school years ago, but somehow I lost my sense of focus. I have impatience inside of me in just doing anything, like even praying the Rosary, for I get overly scrupulous. I do not do something if I know I cannot do it perfectly or if I know I will make a big mistake. I get very discouraged easily. Also, I have a mother who goes through a lot physical and emotional stress, who worries me a lot. To top it off, I have a stepfather and a father who are being mean and selfish to us at this point. My sister is not really much in the picture anyway at this point. I need to go to confession as well. Besides everything else, I cannot go to the SSPX church in my city without my family or perhaps even some priests giving me a hassle about it. Could you please pray hard that I be fully convinced of the validity of SSPX confessions and marriages too. I am a very weak man now, I do not know what to do to get myself self-sufficient and up to par with life right now.

Please pray for me, a lowly sinner. (I feel like a bother and burden too.)

P.S. I am also having some automobile and medical insurance difficulties as well.

Sure. Poor wretch that I am, I will still pray for you, my dear friend.

Got it. I wil pray for you. I feel as though I am dancing with dispair myself. I try not to go overboard. As far as the SSPX goes, I think that you are safe with their confessions. I would feel better knowing I had gone to confession through them than most of the Novus Ordo priest I ever knew. Now, with them I question validity or maybe just plain wonder if they had an ounce of Catholic in them anywhere.
Perfectionism is something I struggle with too. I either makes me not try cuz it will never be good enough (for who?) or turns me into a yelling screaming maniac mom.
So, I think we all will pray for each other.
Stay strong, let us know how it is going.
