Mi Sheberach for Mental Health: Cultivating Mental Wellness with the Jewish Prayer for Healing

Page 18

MI SHEBERACHS FOR ANXIETY AND STRESS We all experience anxiety. Worry, nervousness, and fear are normal parts of the human experience. Typically, the anxiety we feel in stressful situations is not incapacitating and passes once the situation is resolved. But if it becomes unmanageable, disproportionate to the situation, or persistent after the source of the anxiety is removed, it could indicate a mental health condition. An anxiety disorder is measured by the impact it has on an individual’s life. When anxiety starts to interfere with daily activities like work, school, and relationships, it is considered a disorder. This section is for those who are feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or are struggling with an anxiety disorder.

For Those Feeling Hopeless by Anonymous May those with anxieties that lead to feelings of hopelessness see the light at the end of the tunnel. May they find a community that supports their mental, physical, and emotional stability and strength. May they find a passion that takes them on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Amen.
