good question. when i was younger yes. now that i'm older, no. but for my mind as i age, yes again. i'm bipolar with schiztophrenic tendancies. when i was young i was a distraught mess. as i got older and got meds with theraphy, i learned to surround myself with resources and learned management skills. now i only have a small fear that as i age, i will suffer from severe memory loss, and or become unmanageable at home and need a permenante hospitalization.
Sometimes, yes. I suffer from PSTD and depression, and there are times when I am terrified that it won't ever get better, that I will lose my faith and my sanity.
But most of the time, I can manage that, I know that God has a plan for me, and that it is good.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. (Emily Dickinson)
I picked up PTSD from military service . I was fine after a few years and then in 1991 during desert storm it came flooding back with all the images on TV. waking up in a panic and hitting the floor was not much fun. Poor wife didnt know what was wrong with me. I dont know that it ever really goes away just lays in wait for some stress to bring it on.
I know its just me reacting and remembering a bad time but that doesnt make it easy to handle. I am mostly good now and God gives me extra strength and grace these days along with a strong love for people to make up for my loss.
Like my lovely sister Criada says, God has a plan for me, and it is good!

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.

I had severe depression and I had so much fear. I had bad aniexty attacks too. The dr. diagnosed me with chronic major depression and aniexty disorder. My meds help me cope with it.

Yes! And I hate it when people say that I don't have enough faith in God. If they knew what I have been through, then they would see that God is the only reason that I am still alive and I have as much faith as much faith as they do.
(And what were you diagnosed with?)
Originally (about 20 years ago) depression. I chose to ignore it and "self-medicate."
Late 2004 I was diagnosed with anxiety and bipolar.
Earlier this year I was told that I actually have a panic disorder and they don't know what my other dx is, but they know that there is at least one other mental illness involved.
I would say that fear is one of the biggest problems I have, other than just generalized depression. I can recall feeling depressed even as a little girl. I also have OCD and panic attacks which occur when the OCD gets out of control. Today I almost had a panic attack just from the fear of ever having another panic attack! I had a pretty good day & felt well, then started thinking how awful the attacks have been lately, worrying I'd have another one, then almost went into one. The fear itself is bad enough but I also fear the fear. I'm caught in a loop.
Yes, fear is a huge issue. I've been recently diagnosed with ADHD, quite severe (27/27 symptoms). I also suffer chronic depression w/ bouts of severe depression and at times I go the other way and appear as the happiest person on the planet. I, at times have had panic and anxiety atacks as well. I, at times have very poor judgement and get into heaps of trouble. A lot of the time I feel like a train wreck. And even though I have been a Christian for 21 years, it doesn't make it go away or much easier just to cope with everyday living. I just don't hafta' worry 'bout the other side.
