Having problems with panic attacks before church.

[DAVERONE#1]

I know this was talked about in the Mental Health forum but it is read only. And I could really use some suggestions from other Christians. I suffer from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from a really messed childhood. I won't go into the details but it was my father, mother, and two brothers. They were/are all suffered from severe mental illness. I have been through a lot of therapy. And on medication for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. The thing is that I have actually been doing well for quite awhile. Not saying their have not been some bad bouts, their have been. But something strange has been going on for awhile.
We moved to a new area that my wife and I love. And found a church we love. So what's the problem? I am having severe panic attacks before church. Heart rate and blood pressure through the roof. Nausea, even feeling like I am going to pass out sometimes. Which I don't understand because I have been a believer for a long time. I have taught Sunday school classes, served for awhile years ago, and love the Lord and His people. So I don't know why this is happening. The only thing that has changed is about a year ago my son passed away from a reaction to a medication he was on.
It was pretty horrible obviously. With that my CPTSD flared up something awful. Nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, all the things that go with it. I am seeing a Christian therapist. Doing my medicine. But still having trouble going to a place I love and want to serve. I don't feel like I am made at God over what happened. But I am a bit lost over the way my body is reacting with panic attacks. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you going to church anyway? Is it stressful while there? God will not forget your works, in the past and at now. My body reacts to stress and fear too. I take mental health days but often go anyway. I deal with it as best I can and sometimes go home early. At church I get comfortable and keep my thoughts positive by taking thoughts captive as in 2Cor 10:3-5. Helps me stay calm. I have something similar but don’t know if they are panic attacks. Make the attempt to go and maybe and praying it will smooth out for you. The Lord should help.

You may need help with 'spiritual problems' and spiritual healing from some minister/pastor, you may need to seek a church that deals with those problems, like they believe in being filled with the Holy spirit, and seek Gods power.
Those problems exist.
