Can I request prayers?

I recently had surgery for a fractured kneecap. This injury happened because of a very stupid mistake I made. I am having a really tough time dealing with this fact mentally. I have no family and only one friend who helps and supports me. Every time I hear, "It's is a long road to recovery," my depression just gets worse. I wish I had a synogoue affiliation, but I don't. Is it okay for me to ask this community to pray for me?
