• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've just put my little one to sleep and so I can allow to let my guard down and feel plain low. I've laughed and joked with my baby whilst inside I just wanted to lie on my bed with the quilt over my head.

I've been battling with an anxiety attack since early evening but am to the point now where I'm ready to lay down and cry. :cry:

Was just wondering if there was anyone who just wanted to chat, to try to take my mind off this crippling feeling.

I just wanted to update this thread to say thank you for those of you who prayed for me on reading the first post.

The tightness in my chest is going away and I am feeling much calmer now.

Thanks and Be blessed :hug:

Hi Rocklife, :hug:

It's stress related to do with my job and I just can't seem to balance work with home obligations. In the last 3 weeks I've been experiencing panic attacks to the point that I've been signed off by my doctor.

I guess I had one of these earlier which resulted in a great sense of anxiety and chest pains. For some reason I couldn't seem to cry tonight which tended to relieve the pressure previously.

Thank G-d the prayers seemed to do the trick though. :pray:

Be blessed.

Hi Amin,

Yep on week 4 with the medication. This is the first time I'm on any medication but then this was the first experience I've had of any kind of panic attack.

Admittedly I've not had another attack since the 25th but I can't seem to shift feeling so low. Today has been quite bad. :(

Just feel as though I'm slipping backwards again. :sigh:

Hi Lotuspetal,

I kind of understand why you're feeling down.

Panic attacks are something i don't think anyone should have to go thru.

It does make you feel down when you think you think of the attacks and how uncomfortable they are.

It's miserable.

But guess what?
It can get better, and so can you.

Things will ease up, I know they will.

If you ever need to talk you can PM me, that's for sure.

Take Care, Okay,

Chuck.

Thank you, Chuck.

I pray that I can beat this and I thank G-d for the support and encouraging words from people like yourself. It makes it bearable when you realise that others have gone through this as well.

Be blessed brother.

I've had anxiety attacks so bad I had to be taken to the hospital.

When i got home, I didn't want to be alone for almost 6 weeks.

I know how they can be.

If you ever need to talk Pm me, or
e-mail me. I'd love to talk with you.

Chuck.

Thanks Chuck, I really appreciate your kind offer.

I am thankful that for two days now I've not felt the attacks as badly as last week. I pray that it's a sign that I may be coming through this albeit slowly (just had another bout of tears this morning).

Please keep me in your prayers as I truly believe that this kind of support has gotten me this far.

Blessings to you :hug:

Hi,
How are you doing?
I hope your panic attacks are lessening for you.
Are you on any meds.?
I was just wondering, if not maybe you could look into it.
Hope you're much better.
Chuck.:wave:

Hi brother :wave:

Praise G-d I feel better today. The past two days after my birthday were very very hard. I met one of my church members yesterday and spoke to a Christian minister who's also a counsellor and I've booked an appointment for next Monday. But I've felt as though I'm being carried by prayer.

I was on the phone to another church member this morning who is now retired. She went through the same thing as what I'm going through now right down to us both sharing the same profession. It was so good to talk to her - we both brought a lot of comfort to each other.

Thanks for all your prayers because they feel as though they are penetrating my storms.

G-d bless you! :clap:

Hi,
Anxiety, and panic attacks are miserable.
I'm glad you can find someone to relate to.
Even tho we here at the forums are seperated by miles, we're joined by Christ, so remember you have a lot of friends here.
Bless You.
Chuck.
