Panic Attack While At A Prayer Meeting

[luvofhorses]

Just last night I was at our church Tuesday night prayer meeting. Now the interesting part before going, was I was excited about going!

So it was very small group of people last night. Now my Pastor and his wife know that I am having panic attacks but no one else does.

So Prayer started last night in more of a discussion. But it was the discussion that was hitting very close to home with me. I won't go into it.
But as the discussion went on I wanted to add to it and I kept getting interrupted. Then the discussion got even closer to home. That's when it started.

I realized I was heading towards a panic attack. My first thought was I wanted to jump up and run out of the building and get in my car and leave.

But I sat a little longer. My pastor's wife is sitting at the front. I knew I had to leave the room. So I got up went to her told her I was going up stairs to the sanctuary.

Got up the stairs and was in a full blown attack. Heart racing, couldn't catch my breath and crying.

My pastor's wife came right up. I calmed down almost immediately. And we ended up talking for over an hour. And when Prayer downstairs was over my Pastor came and join in on our conversation. Basically I got counselling last night.

I love my Pastor and his Wife. They are like a second set of parents to me. I am so blessed that they care about me so, and encourage me so.

But the greatest thing of all is God will never leave me or forsake me! Thank You God.

you are very lucky to have a pastor and his wife who really cares, i know how you feel when you said they were like 2nd parents, (i've been there) right now my pastor has been like a dad that i've never had , one who cares, anyway i think maybe you might want to talk to them about arranging some counseling sessions, so that you can find out why you're having this attacks, God can heal you of this panic attacks, if you want to talk ( write) just pm me. i answer as soon as i can, i start my 3 - 12 hrs days at work so i may not get back on the computer until sunday, but if i have time before going to work , i try to get on ( depends on how much time it takes me to get ready for work) will be praying for you, and yes I'm so glad God says he'll never leave nor forsake us.
