I have written before asking for prayers for my mentally tortured mind…
I ask for them again.
My health anxiety has gotten worse. I imagine I have all manner of deadly debilitating diseases. I feel persecuted. It is like a demon torturing my mind and stealing my peace. Panic attacks are almost continuous. The medicines aren’t working. I go back to see the doctor today at 3pm.

Please. Please, pray for me.

Praying for you, Linda - I’ve suffered from anxiety as well. :console:

Father, may Your Most Holy Spirit protect Linda from all anxiety, in Jesus name…

Thank You,
Amen.
 
I will be praying for you too, Linda. I have also suffered from the same type of anxiety you speak of. It was more of a spiritual malady for me, and I found great comfort & peace by making frequent use of the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation. Also, I repeat the Holy Name of Jesus over and over, while taking slow, deep breaths in and out while mentally envisioning Jesus holding me in His arms like a little lamb. Over time, my attacks greatly lessened and eventually stopped. God is so good, and He will heal you too!
 
Dear Linda, I an sorry that you are suffering so much from anxiety attacks, and pray that God will lead you through so that you can flourish in your life…You are a nurse…RN? If I understand correctly it is natural that your anxiety might be about health. Please God you will be able to find some way to program you thoughts to peace and confidence. However I pray that your doctor will discern any underlying cause for concern in your physical, emotional, mental health, and help you to recover.
:coffee: :coffee:

Best wishes and prayers for your management of this distressing problem, Trishie
 
Hi Linda,

I have felt like this in the past as well and I know how awful it is. I could never find a doctor to reassure me that nothing was really wrong. What worked was to direct myself outwards. Try to find something to do for someone else. Try volunteering, doing a chore for a family member, baking someone cookies…anything. If no one is around, try answering prayer requests or questions on the forums here. It really helps to get your mind off your health. I know it’s hard to do, but you can do it.

Imagine the worst thing that could happen to you, and then think through why it really wouldn’t be that bad. For instance, this may come out wrong, but I imagined that the worst thing that could happen was death, and then remembered that if I died, I would be with God! and it would be wonderful. I also repeat to myself the words of Job: “Even if He slays me, yet I will trust in Him.”

I pray to the Virgin Mary for faith and strength. Saying the Memorare helps me as well. I will pray for you. God bless! You’ll be okay.

Learn the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and pray it at exactly 3:00 daily if you can.

Say “Jesus I Trust in You!” and " Oh Mary Conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee!" throughout the day and as you fall asleep.

You will be remembered in my Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Rosaries.

God Bless You!

St. Dymphna pray for Linda!

Paul
 
Jesus, I trust in you
Jesus, I trust in you
Jesus, I trust in you…

St. Dymphna, pray for her
St. Faustina, pray for her
St. Michael the Archangel, defend her.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of thy death, amen.
 
I suffered from panic attacks on and off until something changed my life about 10 years ago and I have never suffered one again.

While sitting in a pew during a stations of the cross during Lent 10 ys. ago., a very large cross was being toted by several men in our parish. We were invited to help carry this cross too if we felt called to do it. It was obvious that this cross was not meant to be used during any procession because of the width and span of it’s beams. But it was.
I chose to stay in the pew while many grandmas carrying their lit candles followed the path of the cross being carried. As I sat there, I heard a voice directly behind me say…go carry my cross.
I turned around, but no one was there.

But I began to tremble because the voice once again with a little more firmness again repeated…go carry my cross. By now my trembling was obvious, my palms began to sweat and my heart pound, but I was still rivited to the pew.
Then finally…one firm GO! AND I was moving grandmas out of the way so I could get to the cross.
When I reached for the cross being carried by a burly man…He looked at me strongly with my glazed intent on my face…so he gave me the cross and I not only lifted the cross but lifted it to shoulder height…feeling warm arms surround mine…and I heard…If you are willing to carry my cross, I will carry yours.
From that day forth, I have never suffered another attack.
I know that if I go to the cross…and carry my cross…He, Jesus alone will take my burden from me…and will give me all the strength necessary. Pray for this for yourself. You will be amazed at the power of God!👍
 
Don’t be afraid- confront your fears! If you imagine having a disease, then tell yourself it will work out, you will get well. Remember the words of Churchill- we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Say : “Get behind me, Satan” and know that God has you in his palm, He will keep you from the worst thing, which is to be without Him.
I pray for you, and KNOW that this, too, shall pass.
peace be with you

With tears streaming down my face I will keep you in my prayers doveofpeace, with all these other awesome prayer warriors…
God is amazing.
 
You are in my prayers Dove of Peace.I too was in a situation like yours, I went to group therapy and they always said if we say "what if, what if never happens.When you get that way try to think about something funny until your anxiety level begins to drop. When it starts to drop you will notice a difference
and become calmer.Try to focus on something till it passes.
I will pray for you

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit, and we shall be recreated, and You shall renew the face of the earth.

Lord, send your Spirit to your child and protect her from all anxiety.

You are in my prayers.
