Keeping holding onto the faith in your heart, the Lord is near to those who seek Him.
Give Him each of your days (hours or minutes). Give Him Praise as scripture teaches that “He inhabits the praises of His people”. Praising our Lord for His goodness, mercy and grace frames our mind, heart and soul to gratefulness and lifts the soul. Remember, emotions are not to be always trusted. Walk in trust, faith and hope for His provision for you and your family.

Prayers continue.

Congratulations on this precious little boy!

My prayers are with you, Susan, LSUpathdoc, and all those who suffer from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. It NOT all in your head.
 
Thank all of you today was rough. But sitting down and reading some of the kind words here really helped. Thank you all so much! God Bless

I also suffer badly from depression. I’ve tried lots of tablets+therapies but basically i have bad depression and i think i’l always have the illness to some degree, but a few days ago, i was lying in bed in great mental pain, full of guilt that i wasnt up and about doing x,y,+z. Blaming myself for the illness and perceived “laziness”. Then i thought: Its not a sin to be sad! Im not in mortal sin by suffering, its not my fault, and maybe i just have to feel this pain, instead of fighting it+blaming myself. One day at a time. I have no physical ailments thank God; i can walk, dance, sing, go shopping, cook dinner, drive a car etc etc…Some things are just meant to be.
You’re still deep in grief aswell. I think you’re brave to continue working to find a cure for cancer. It must be a huge pressure. I do think its a big part of your emotional state. Adoration will help you. Congratulations on the pending birth of your son.

To date, because of my depression, anxiety and panic attacks, I am still fearful leaving the house and only go when my husband takes me out. I am praying for strength that I soon be able to find the courage to go out and drive. I so want to join the Catholic Church and would like to be able to drive there. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to heal.
God Bless…Susan
 
Today is a REALLY REALLY tough day for me. Today is the 4 year anniversary of my mother’s death. Honestly I thought I was going to be fine today but on my commute in of course I start thinking about…well her, my relationship with her, and everything she meant to myself and my family. Its just really hard not having her here. I just find myself very down today in general. I just don’t understand how her passing away and my anxiety attacks and depression is what God wants for me?
 
well I thought yesterday was horrible but today is proving to be just as bad. I am still trying to figure out what cocktail of medications will keep me balanced and I think I found one that might make things worse. I was told to go up to 30mg of buspar by my psyc. Well I had tried this before (however it was in conjunction with another medication) but it made me very anxious, to the point of crying in my bed with my wife for no reason just a sense of overwhelming anxiety. Well I am sitting at my desk right now right this post and I am in tears and trembling with anxiety. I don’t know if it is the anniversary of my mother’s death or the medication (God I hope it is the medication) or all of the above but I feel as though I am loosing control. I feel like I am this broken thing that my wife and unborn child should just throw away. I feel like such a burden, a let down, and an embarrassment to everyone. A man, husband, father should not be acting this way and should have more control (is what I keep thinking). I really feel like my wife and child deserve better sometimes. I am so tired of suffering like this, God why can’t I find something that works so I can feel normal?

I know what it feels like to have Panic Attacks and Anxiety LSUpathdoc, as I suffer from it myself. It can really be taxing on both the mental and physical aspects of ourselves, and I will pray that the Lord will deliver you calm and strength in your time of need. Trust in the Lord always, for he is great! 😃

Our Father
Who Art In Heaven
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will Be Done
On Earth, As It Is In Heaven
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
And Forgive Us Our Trespasses
As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation
But Deliver Us From Evil
AMEN!

Thank you so very much…so many say things like…“think positive thoughts, it will go away”…“get out and do something fun, it will go away”…or worse yet…“pull yourself up by your “bootstraps” and GET OVER IT!!!”…It’s not in our heads…if it were, we would ask it to go away…I trust in the Lord and know that he is with me at ALL times…I also believe that there is a reason for everything…I feel that the Lord has big plans for me…but that’s not to be known yet by me…
God Bless You…Susan

Thank you all. I think the issues I am currently having are medication related. God I hope they are anyway. It seems like each morning I get in the ultra anxious mode and can’t do anything to break it (short of taking other medication to calm myself down). I have stopped the medication that I believe is the problem however I am still having the side effects (I think this medication takes a while to start and stop working). I feel like my own mind is torturing me, why does God let things like this happen? I feel like my faith is really being tested because I continue to plead to him and I feel like no one answers. Am I meant to suffer like this? I have never thought of suicide before (nor am I now) but I can see how one would think of it sometimes. You just feel trapped and there doesn’t seem to be any good answers but to endure. I only feel like I can endure this for so long and I can’t see any relief. God please come to my aid.

Keep trusting in the Lord- He’ll see you through the “storm”. Believe me, there is light at the end of the tunnel even though it don’t seem that way.
