hello my name is Emily, I don’t know if this is the right forum to talk about this but I will.
I am 26 and have been suffering really badly from panic attacks/ depression/ somatoform disorder and anxiety about everything. I have wasted about 4 years now unemployed and struggling with my thoughts everyday. It’s really really bad and i feel horrible. I can’t even visit family cause I fear everything. I always fear something will happen to me or I have some sort of disorder and i start getting horrible anxiety. I have been praying every night for years and never gave up I enjoy helping people cause I am a nurses aide but haven’t worked in years due to this condition and i really want my life back I dont know what to do anymore. will I ever get healed? I wont stop praying cause I love god and I am willing to help anyone but I need help now. please pray for me.
 
Emily, I know you may not want to hear these words, but Our Lord has given you this special cross for a reason. Everything that happens to us in life, whether we are faithful or not, is given by God for our betterment. I wish I could tell you that I knew for certain your anxiety would improve. I promise to pray for you, that your suffering would be diminished or alleviated. But most importantly I would advise you to pray that God’s will be done in your life, even if it means you continue to suffer from panic and anxiety. Give all of your suffering over to Him, unite it to His passion on the cross, tell Him if it pleases Him you would be willing to suffer anything for love. I feel this surrender and obedience to God gives Him joy, knowing that the ones He loves so much are willing to do whatever He asks of them.

I suffered most of my life from anxiety, sometimes it was quite severe. The strengthening of my faith, the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and giving my will to Christ has made an incredible difference. I no longer live for myself, but for Him. I try each day to listen to Him, asking the Holy Spirit to guide my actions and thoughts. Receive the sacraments as often as you can. You sound like a sensitive and caring individual, so I know the Lord is waiting for you to turn to Him completely so He may use you for His glory. I hope you can find some comfort in my words, and also the support of knowing you are never alone. Peace…🙂
 
Emily - you can get help for this. We are not allowed to dispense medical advice here, but I will tell you that my mother has had panic disorder for many years and has been functioning normally with proper medication.

Go to your doctor, get help. There is no reason to keep living like that, many many people (not all) are helped in this way.

And of course pray - always pray.

**We keep crossing paths…
I looked up Somatoform Disorder this time though.
I have had so many EKGs done they are sick of me at the ER.
I will pray hard for you!
Nothing is worse than anxiety!
Praying Hard.
