Sorry about your panic attacks I used to have them and I know how hard they are. I did two things. I prayed to God saying I wanted to get past this and I KNEW he could do it and the second thing I did was remember that everything would be alright. And whenever those moments hit me I would just keep telling myself it would be alright. Even if my mind didn't believe a word my heart was saying and wanted to focus HARD on the worrying, I knew it would be ok. And I got past those moments.

I had my first panic attack 18 years ago, so I understand how difficult it can be to cope with anxiety. I’m glad that you have seen a doctor, and I encourage you to be a good consumer, and research panic disorders. Medications can be helpful, if they are the right Rx., and the correct dose. If it isn’t helping, be patient. If there’s little improvement, tell your MD. Remember that it’s physiological; that it’s the body or the vessel. You’re not going crazy, you won’t suffocate, you’re not going to have a heartattack, you won’t pass out… panic won’t kill you, I PROMISE!!! Neurotransmitters are misfiring triggering your fight or flight response when there is no real threat. Have you considered talking to a counselor,in addition to meds., as changing our thought processes is ESSENTIAL, especially ‘cognitive behavioral therapy”. You learn to practice deep breathing. You focus on your breathing, slowly in and out. The increased oxygen will help calm you, while redirecting the focus of your thoughts. You can’t be calm and nervous at the same time. Changing your thoughts when you feel an onset of panic will keep it in check. Learn and practice, and they will disapate. A couselor can give you guidence and support for this. Medication alone, while helpful to a degree, is similar to a “band aid”: It treats the symptom, but not the source, so to speak.
Anxiety and fear can block God’s purpose for us. We needn’t suffer unnecessarily, That’s not what God want for us. I couldn’t understand why it was happening, but in time I made some sense of it by having learned a deeper level of compassion and understanding for others. Ask Him to give you guidence, and keep praying for comfort. He’s given the gift of healing to many professionals. We are accountable to seek them out for ourselves that we may continue to fulfill His purpose for us. Have hope, be patient,and don’t “beat yourself up!” Pray, lean on th Lord, and reach out to others.
May the Lord guide you and give you hope and comfort. May you find more peace and contentment. May your heart be open that the Spirit may strengthen your faith and bring you closer to God. Have peace. (JOHN:27 ).
You’ll be in my prayers.

Hi there!





First of all, know this, that you are never alone, and that God is just a prayer away....


God didn't move, you did, and when you want to get closer to God, it will have to be you that moves closer to Him. He's waiting...

But until then, I will be praying for you as you adjust to the meds...

I'll pray for you. Hope you get better soon.

YOu're still in my prayers!
BTW, the quote I sent but mis-typed earlier was John 14:27

for you too
