Re: Another bad day.
Tina, I am so sorry you to hear you were having aq bad day and no one replied to your post. Remember God is always with you. We will never get through our problems in our own stregnth, it is only in His stregnth. Trust in Him, and Him only. I dont know your level of faith but I know mine. and God has carried me through panic attacks. I still have little minor anxiety now but when I do I look up and focus on Him...not the attack. Sometimes God does things to refine us, to better us. and before something gets better it has to go through some tough processes. Well that what these attacks are. they are part of a process that God can use to refine us and turn us into His best piece of Gold. He uses these hard time in our lives to grow us closer to Him. reach for Him, get into your bible and read. Get to know our loving God. If your having an attack open your bible and read out loud. This will ease things. I will pray for you and hope today was a better day. At His feet, Gretchin |

Re: Another bad day.
Gretchen, Thanks so much for responding and for your helpful words. You are correct. God is using this to help me to be what he wants me to be. However, I find it all very difficult to take. When you cannot sit down all day, but have to pace, or feel like you are losing your mind, and are so weak you feel like you can't stand up but still have to pace, it is very hard to take. And then I see all the people who are doing evil and not even acknowledging the Lord seemingly have peace. I do not understand it.

Re: Another bad day.
Ron, Thanks for the encouraging words. I have had so much anxiety that I could not dit down hardly at all until the evening when it subsided somewhat, but these last few days I have done better, thank God. If I did not have the Lord, I do not know what I would do. Have been going to revival services all week and getting prayer. It is just so hard going through this. |

Re: Another bad day.
Golly Tina, it is amazing, but I sware on various days of my life I could have written your very post! The "having" to pace / not being able to sit down is a very familiar place to me! It makes no sense to me, but sometime I can't even sit to eat my meals -- I will literally stand kind of walking back and forth to eat. There is a resource that I got out of the library that helped me some -- "Don't forget to look up" it is a real honest - Christian based book - about dealing with panic. I have also found that taking walks - rather than simply pacing sometimes helps me. Another thing I do is talk outloud or write to God, it helps me to slow down the floods of thoughts. {{{Hugs}}} and prayers ... from another Tina Anyone else have any practical tips? |

Re: Another bad day.
Thanks for writing another Tina, I do the exact same thing about walking back and forth eating meals (on the days that I am able to eat meals that is). And also the racing thoughts (mostly all negative thoughts). But one of the scariest symptoms is the feeling of being out of touch with your own body and that "unreal" feeling that you not only feel but see. If you have had this, you know exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for all the good tips. I hope tomorrow is a better day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: Another bad day.
So it is a new day ... I am following up. How are you today? How is your sleep? If you're like me often when my panic during the day is the worst my nights are really tough to. Here is a verse that I have learned by memory ... Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me to dwell in safety. Praying for you! |

Re: Another bad day.
I woke up today really depressed with some anxiety. The anxiety was not quite as bad today. My sleep isn't too great. I feel like I haven't slept good in years. I do this one thing where when I am just falling asleep I feel like I lose my breath and am not going to be able to breath again. It is so scarey. I do that sometimes over and over. And like now I am sitting here writing and I feel so drowsy but for some reason it gives me some kind of sick feeling and I fight it. I know it doesn't make any sense but I cannot help it. Do you have trouble breathing? |

Re: Another bad day.
Tina, Your symptoms do sound so very familiar! ... And all of them, so far, are talked about in the Don't forget to look up book. It has some great practical and medical type advice in it as well. Maybe your library will have it - mine ordered it for me. Praying for you! |

Re: Another bad day.
Hi again, Tina. Just checking in - how are you doing now? Have you found any things that are helping - beyond of course prayer. Recently I have had the rush of those panicy feelings coming again and so far I have been able to re-direct myself with God's help. I am thankful for this, but then I even question that and wonder whether I am just in denial or avoiding something I should not run from. Ah I don't know. But I am thankful for God's grace and continue to pray for you! |
