• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. 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.

Im so afraid.. I cant even sleeo for 4 days last week.. until now im struggling with this feeling.. It is the worst kind of feeling.. Im afraid of dying.. I have hot flashes..my teeth are chattering.. my hands and feet feels weak.. I have headache.. stomach upset.. and now I'm afraid of not being able to sleep again.. and lastly I know I am saved I do accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Saviour here in my heart but why is it that I do need assurance.. I'm scared of dying and I'm scared of the life after death I'm asking what if I know myself that I'm saved but the truth is I'm not saved and I'm going to hell... I told God that I have repented my sons and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.. I am not like this before.. but when the doctor diagnosed that I have an anxiety disorder.. I become fearful.. need assurance .. fear of dying... I'm always crying of this situation I want to be free from this feeling.. I'm asking God to heal me completely because I know no one can do it.. but Him.. by His mighty power i know He can please pray for me.. when my human nature feel the physical symptoms.. I feel so afraid.. is there anyone who feel the same situation.. or the physical symptoms...

Be Still,
I'll pray for your peace of mind.. I'd also recommend 'Hope and Help for your Nerves' (Claire Weekes). It's an old (but great) guide for managing & overcoming crippling anxiety.

You're not alone..

You are in my prayers. Jesus can heal you from this, it will be in His timing. Don’t loose hope, you will make it through this time in your life, are not alone. I began having episodes where I’ll be laying on the couch watching tv and then all of a sudden my breathing feels off, my heart starts racing, my hands sweat and tingle, my lips tingle and shake, my feet tingle, and I feel like I’m going to pass out. I know it’s the enemy trying to get me to fear and worry. I get scared to even go places for fun because I’m afraid an attack will happen while I’m out. When we were visiting Disneyland in California, an attack happened to me it was the first one I thought I was dying. That really scared me and ruined our vacation. I get scared that it will strike when I’m having fun. This is not how God wants us to live, read Jeremiah 29:11. It’s a process but I’m working on trusting God and just letting the attack happen and I pray they stop happening. I understand what you are going through and I am here for you!

Sincerely,

Anna

I have felt as you described. I’m still battling feeling like this also.
I try and read my bible, a little bit at a time.
It helps.
Try not to read too much at once.
Let it digest, if that makes sense.
Ask for mercy and discernment.
I always tell myself it’s a walk with the Lord, not a race.
You’re not alone.
