I posted awhile back about our 17 year old daughter’s anxiety/OCD problem. It is getting worse all the time and it
is having a big effect on all of us. It is really taking over her life
in many ways and we are desperate to help her. She had started
going to talk to the doctor and he said she did really well but
then she started refusing to go saying she didn’t need to. Along
with this she is taking medication for her stomach (acid blocker)
and she had also lost some weight since she would feel full
quicker with the stomach problem. The doctor just changed her
stomach med since now sometimes she still has some symptoms. The orignal med was taken twice a day which made
another problem in always remembering to take it and along
with that she obessed about the timing of taking the medication
because part of her OCD problem is fear of getting sick or posioned. She doesn’t like to take medicine at all , she is
terrified of the side effects. We really just wanted her to deal
with the problem through the pycologist, and didn’t really want
her on meds but now the problem is so big we fear that she will
need that too, but then again she is really afraid of taking that
type of medication. We are at our wits end with this problem
and beg you to pray for Lauren. Thank you for all your prayers in
the past, please continue them. There is so much more to this
than I can even post here. Please pray for her and us. I have
an anxiety problems myself ( I have been on meds from time to
time) but I have been good for some time now and of course dealing with this is extremely hard for me. My husband and
son are really affected too.
Thank you so much, it does give me some comfort that I can
come here and ask for your prayers.

Lord be with this young lady, Lauren. As those of us who suffer from anxiety and depression know the grip it has on all ours life. Father break the hold that this anxiety holds on her. Allow her to realize and allow her to feel You in a special way. Allow her to know that even when it feels that You are not taking us away from serious anxieties, that in fact You yourself are with us through the period of turmoil. Grant her a peace about taking medication. Place knowledge in her mind and in her heart that would allow her to accept the necessity of the medication. Continue to strengthen her as she goes through these trying times.
