Need prayer for anxiety disorder
Posted: Jul 20, 2014
I would really appeciate your prayers for both my daughter and myself. We both suffer from anxiety disorder. I have had this my whole life, and it has made life difficult, but even more difficult is seeing my 23-year-old daughter struggle with this also. I have been praying for years, but so far my prayers have gone unanswered. I am trying to stay optimistic, but it is really difficult sometimes. thank you so much for your prayers;
need prayer for anxiety - Gail
[ In Reply To ..]I'm supporting you in prayer for you and your daughter to experience the presence and peace of God in your life--to be healed from this disorder and if there is any physical cause to be healed as well. I've felt this way too sometimes and so have my kids.
Sometimes I feel it helps to listen to some praise and worship or reach out to someone like you have and share what you're going through. Don't give up-keep believing. God Bless.
Anxiety disorder - survivor
[ In Reply To ..]To sbmt: I, too, have had anxiety disorder and chronic depression since I was a pre teen, and I will pray for you and your daughter that you both will survive this, but I also want to tell you what helped me. I have found that counseling, medication (Xanax), and getting myself out there to face the fear was what helped me. I found church functions, city recreation dept classes, reading books about depression and anxiety, and searching the internet for ideas on how others with similar problems dealt with their anxiety and depression. Get yourselves out there. Go together to restaurants where you can get up and leave when you need to, like buffets or fastfood where you pay before you get your meal and then can choose to stay and eat there or leave. Go together to the stores where you can go in and go out without buying anything. What is important is getting yourself out there with people. Stick with facing your fear in what you feel would be safe places, safe activities, safe people to practice facing your fears.
I have done all these things and I feel that I am now strong enough to deal with my depression and anxiety, though during times of extreme stress, it can creep up on me. But, counseling and medication do help to get me through those times and I learn to deal with those situations that I felt I could not get through. You will both survive this as I have. I know when you are still trying to learn to deal with anxiety attacks, it can seem like the most horrible situation to be in to the point where I was not sure if I could go on with life, but I gave myself a chance and I have fought hard to learn to deal with the anxiety attacks. YOU WILL SURVIVE THIS AND YOU WILL COME OUT STRONGER FOR ALL THIS SUFFERING YOU ARE GOING THROUGH.
Prayers coming your way - Depressed
[ In Reply To ..]My 26-year-old son and I suffer from the same thing. My son is having a very bad time these past few weeks (pretty much living in his bedroom). I understand what you're going through.
thank you all for your prayers - sbmt
[ In Reply To ..]I am also going to be praying for all of you. I hate that anyone has to deal with this.
I have done counseling and doing as much as I can to stay active and get out, but it is harder than it used to be to deal with it. I'm at the age where hormonal changes are not helping, and I have issues with sleep, so I don't always have the energy to fight it like I used to. Maybe there will be better ways to treat this in the future, so at least we don't have to watch our kids suffer all of their lives.
Thank you all again for your prayers. I really appreciate it!
Depression/anxiety - me, too
[ In Reply To ..]My family has a very strong history of depression and anxiety. I have suffered with this since childhood. This morning I got up, and felt that dark, scary, anxious feeling again. I also take Xanax, and without it I don't know what I would have done. I have seen many counselors and a psycholgist for 4 years some years ago. The only thing I can say is you must continue to fight it on a daily basis. It takes a strong person to face what life throws at us, and it is even more difficult when you have this condition. Stay close to your friends who understand. Friends have been a tremendous support for me through my most difficult times. I certainly wish you and your family the very best.
Have had anxiety disorder - "forever"
[ In Reply To ..]Very,very scared to speak in public, to interact with people. I grew up in a church family, lots of ministers, tried prayer, laying on of hands, etc. What finally worked for me was Zoloft. It changed my whole life. I am not afraid anymore (not nearly like before). It is a wonderful feeling! Not saying it will work for you or your daughter, but have you tried medications?
have had anxiety forever - sbmt
[ In Reply To ..]I tried a couple different SSRIs years ago, and each time after a couple of hours my heart would race, and I would feel way more anxious. That was a while ago though, and I really have nothing to lose by trying it again. My daughter was on Celexa for years but not sure if that helped. She does have Klonopin for when she feels really bad.
I have always thought that antidepressants really don't work, but seeing how much it helped you, I think I might give it a try. Thank you all so much
Have had anxiety disorder - "forever" PS
[ In Reply To ..]I might also add that the Zoloft worked after I had failed Prozac and Paxil. Celexa made my heart race & I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. Zoloft really was a game changer for me. Good luck to you & your daughter. Hope you find the right combination of things to help you! I will keep you in my prayers.
prayer for anxiety disorder - jc
[ In Reply To ..]I can tell you the patron saint of emotional disturbances.... St. Dymphna. I am sure if you did an online search, you could find prayers that help.
Maybe you're anxious because you've realized praying does NOTHING. - Seek medical help. Science.
[ In Reply To ..]There are logical treatments for this. Stop trying to hope it goes away. There are people able to help you control this.
Maybe your prayers were answered - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Please see a physician. There is medication and there are therapies for anxiety disorder.
God provides that just as he provides everything else. You might have been expecting something else, but perhaps that is what he has been offering you.
