May 20 Event: Dating Struggles- Emotional & Psychological Distress
Understanding the mental health toll of modern dating
“Dating is making people depressed. Not sad—depressed.”
“A 2023 study found that 35% of dating app users report feeling depressed after using the apps. And that doesn’t even account for the ghosting, the rejection loops, the comparison game, the isolation.
Here’s what no one says in Catholic dating circles: this process is hurting people. And telling them to ‘pray about it’ when they can barely get out of bed is not pastoral care—it’s a life raft with a hole in it.
Your mental health is not separate from your spiritual health. You are an embodied soul. Caring for your mind IS caring for your soul.
If this is you—you’re not weak. You’re not failing. You’re responding normally to an abnormal situation.”
