It’s bad. My nervous system is locking up my frontal lobes and shutting down my emotions by turns. Heart rate goes up by turns as well.

I need God to show me what course of action will resolve the fear, because I think my brain is afraid of a course of action, or something. But an overloaded brain isn’t really good at listening, so He needs to yell loud.

I’m going to go get some chamomile tea for temporary relief.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Is there anything you want to talk about?

Here is a great website with bible versus and reminders of the power of prayer: 30 Powerful Bible Verses About Not Living In Fear (Full Commentary) - Bible Study For You

I use sites like this to remind me that God does not want us to live in fear and I have to combat it with His word and faith. It's easy to forget in moments of fear, stress, etc but I am practicing a lot so maybe this will help you.

God bless.

Prayers for your peace. Fearfulness is a dreadful thing to constantly deal with. Prayers that the Lord relieves you of this burden and comforts you with His comforting presence and peace. :praying:

Praying that you find inner peace and a tranquil heart.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

I just saw a youotube video where anxiety and or fear is more common in highly intelligent people. The reasoning is that they think and analyze more than the average person and in all those additional scenarios it can be not only startling but it is harder for them to stay calm. So that may apply to you.

You might try reading some Christian books on the subject. The free internet archive has several you can read online.

If your heart rate is an issue, there are of course medications that can help. I would suggest using something sparingly under a doctor's advice if your health continues to be a concern. I pray that you can hear God even in a distressed condition. That you can find the root cause of your fear and that you can find physical and mental wellness through God.
