Tests at the hospital went well on Monday, and I’m cleared to begin ECT after the holidays. In your charity, please pray for me through the intercession of St. Dymphna. I hope to visit her shrine later in the spring.

Does anyone have any book/documentary/whatever else recs about mental illness + religion that has a neutral/positive attitude towards both? I think it's so interesting how mentally ill people find religion, how our neurodivergency informs our theology, and the different ways religion makes our mental health worse and better. I'm particularly interested in autism, anorexia, and agoraphobia cause that's me, but I'll read about any and all neurodiversity and any and all religions cause I'm an omnist thank you in advance 💕

16! for the all hallows eve game, if its alright!

16. St. Dymphna

This is a sad story, but an important one <3

St. Dymphna was born in Ireland sometime in the 7th century. Her mother was devoutly Christian, but her father was a pagan. When she was 14, she devoted herself to Christ and took a vow of chastity. Soon after, her mother died, and her father took it hard. He started going insane, and when his advisors suggestted he try to remarry someone as beautiful as his wife, he decided instead to marry his teenaged daughter.

Dymphna, understandably, ran away from home with her priest friend, and settled in Geel, Belgium, where she used the last of her wealth to found a hospital for the poor and sick. Her generosity turned to renown, and her father discovered her location. He killed the priest and tried to demand Dymphna return to Ireland and marry him, and when she refused, he killed her too. In great charity, she forgave her father, and after he left, the people of Geel buried the young saint and her priest. This began a tradition of caring for the mentally ill and many miracles are attributed to her shrine as the patron saint of those suffering from mental illness.

I bought a saint Dymphna necklace and I’m never taking it off. Partly because it’s extremely difficult to get on (the hole for the clasp is a pin prick.)
