The breathing technique never works for me neither! I usually try saying a prayer, thinking of scriptures, or just thinking of something good, like a moment where I felt no anxiety. Distraction is the best, if possible... but sometimes you reach that point of no return, and the best thing to do...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying you are worried what life would be like without the anxiety? Anxiety is healthy to a certain extent, we need it, but when it becomes a disorder, and begins taking over your daily life, it's a problem. I would love to get rid of it!

Hello! I'm not on here as much as I once was. I suppose my anxiety has gotten a little better. How is everyone?

I love that!

I question my faith a lot too. I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks (that's where I seen this original thread). Anyway, I always wonder what happens to people that were never introduced to Christianity, but were good people. Do they go to hell for not worshiping "God"? I read a lot of...

I've always been a shy nervous person, but I didn't start getting panic attacks until I had my son 4 years ago. I think it may have been the sudden change in life. I'm not sure. all I know is I wish it would go away! I will admit, it has gotten a lot better.

oh yea, I have that fear of fainting. I always think I'm going to, even though I never have. I always tell myself 'this is it, it's going to happen!' It's so silly really. That's a great verse!

spending a lot of time in from of the computer/tv could definitely have something to do with it. I notice when I spend a lot of time in from the computer (like today) I just feel detached. I've been dealing with depersonalization from my anxiety. It's a disturbing feeling. I'm not sure if that's...

I can relate to this very much. It's really horrible at night for me personally when I"m trying to relax and I just focus on everything my body is doing. If my heart is beating to fast, something is wrong with it, same if I feel it's beating to slow. A headache turns into a tumor. Yes I could go...

I can kind of relate I think. when I was in school I was really shy and didn't talk to anyone. This resulted in me being an outcast, and I would constantly feel as if people were looking at me or talking about me. I think it just has a lot to do with self esteem. Have you tried Cognitive...

That happened to me when I tried taking Lexapro. It was terrifying to say the least, so I"m really sorry you have to go through that! I blame those couple doses of lexapro on a lot of my anxiety issues.

Praying for you! I know that feeling too well. Try to make this an opportunity to banish your fears. Don't let them take over you, think about how good you will feel when the plane lands safely to your destination. Take a journal on the plane with you and write how you feel. Get lost in a book...

Hi that's great to hear you're doing better!!! I have been getting a lot better with handling my anxiety. I'm trying not to let my fears run my life anymore. I went through such a hard time with the anxiety at the beginning of the year, I'm determined not to let myself fall into that hole again...

that's awesome! Good Luck with it!!!! I think that kind of therapy is the best....I know it's helped me tremendously. Sometimes I force myself to go out, even though I may be extremely anxious, but in the long run, afterwards, I feel like I could do anything!

Hi ange117! I hate the feeling soo much! Sorry to hear that you have to go through that too. But it always helps a little to know you're not the only one.

Last November my anxiety and panic attacks started to get worse and worse. Then for 5 months after that came depression. I know how it feels. It seriously is the worst feeling in the world. But the good that came out of it was It brought me closer to my faith. Keep praying and be patient. It...

Does anyone else get a feeling of 'unreal-ness' when dosing off? I get this really bad when I'm extremely tired. I guess you could call it a floaty feeling, it's hard to describe, but it's very odd feeling, and I hate it!

Depression is a horrible thing. I had a taste of it this past November. It was caused by my chronic anxiety. Lucky for me I was able to move pass it naturally (and with the help of prayer, and christian forums). That's great that you're at least trying to help her out of it. My husband showed no...

true...but can someone not knowing how chronic anxiety feels make judgments. For example "It can't be that bad, just get over it." "Just live with it" For people not knowing what it feels like...they sure act like they do. It personally hurts me when I hear my dad tell me "just get over it"...

Wow! That's a wonderful story! Thank You for sharing it with me, and I'm so happy things worked out for you both. It helped me realize that perhaps I need to be more patient and wait and pray for change to happen. Because it's not magically going to happen over night.
