I am so sorry for bothering people with this but I am having a severe panic attack right now and I am so scared that it won’t stop. I have this weird phobia to noise (like televisions and people talking) and my Husband and I have had to move an hour and a half away from school, because we finally found a place that seems quiet. Well we have been here for two and a half months (It is a semi-detached house) with only one man as our neighbour. We are lucky because he is very quiet and I never hear any noise from him. For the entire two months, I have avoided the kitchen and dining room (this is where the house is attached) because of fear of hearing noise. Well today I felt good, so I started making supper, but when I was near the fridge I heard a muffled sound (his TV) and froze…then I heard him cough. I KNOW this sounds so so stupid and I’m sorry, but for some reason I just panicked and felt like I was going to throw up. I had to put everything away and now I’m upstairs in the other side of the house trying to stop panicking. I am devastated because I was doing so well these last two months and now I’m scared that I won’t be able to live here. I said many prayers, but I feel so scared still. I can tell you this is the worst feeling I have ever had. Please please pray for me to help me stop this stupid fear. I am so desperate for it to go away. I am telling myself that this was just a small hurdle and that I will be fine tomorrow. Do you think that is all it is? It doesn’t make sense, because noises outside don’t bother me!! They can talk and bang outside my window and it doesn’t bother me, even the cars. It’s just when it’s someone’s house attached to mine (or an apartment) that makes me panic…😦 Thank you for your prayers and I am sorry again and very embarrassed:blush:
 
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 our death.
Amen.
 
Amanda,
Are you in school? There should be some sort of clinic where you could get some help for this. I know that one treatment used is desensitization, and for a phobia like yours, that might be the way to go.

St Dymphna is the patron saint for mental troubles.

In Nervous or Emotional Distress
I turn to you, dear virgin and martyr, confident of your power with God and of your
willingness to take my cause into your hands. I praise and bless the Lord for giving
you to us as patron of the nervous and emotionally disturbed. I firmly hope that
through your kind intercession He will restore my lost serenity and peace of mind.
May He speak to my heart and reassure me: “My peace I give you. Let not your heart
be troubled nor let it be afraid.” Pray for me, dear St. Dymphna, that my nervous
and emotional turmoil may cease, and that I may again know serenity and personal
peace.
Amen.

Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.

Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all suffering such trials, especially Amanda.

We beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.

We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen.
 
Amanda DONT feel silly, your not alone I went through similar things. I will write you a private message. 🙂
 
Thank you all so so much. Really-your words and prayers are very special and important to me. Thank you! :hug1:

Please do not feel embarassd. I have had the same problem and have had panic attacks, anxiety and depression. Please seek medical help because this is often do to a chemical imbalance that can be controled with medication. Yes. praying the rosary helps me greatly and I have been able to cut down on meds but there is no reason you should suffer so needlessly.

I truly believe this is not your fault and many people suffer from this and other conditions that they themselves are unable to control alone.

I will pray for you as I deeply understand and I amvery sensitive to extraneous noise. I therefore sleep with an mp3 at night listening to music or bible verse or the radio.

I hope you find relief soon and know that this is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. You wouldn’t be embarrassed if you had the flu would you or diabetes?

Ask the Lord and our Blessed Virgin for intersession for help and healing. God Bless.🙂
 
Praying that Jesus relieves you from your anxiety and helps you to live in peace …
 
Hi Amanda I have only just come across your thread.I am sorry to hear about your anxiety and I wamt you to know it is not stupid.I myself have suffered panic attacks/anxiety disorder on and off for years.My son also suffers the same.There is so much help out there nowadays.
Try to find some therapy/counselling that specialises in anxiety/panic disorder and see your doctor.If you cannot face to face see your doctor then make an appointment to talk on the telephone.Speak to your priest and tell him how you feel, you will feel so reassured if you do.
You have my prayers.God bless

O God, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realize that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Pray throughout the day and talk to God.He will help you have confidence in Him.God bless

Prayer of Confidence to St. Anthony
Most holy St. Anthony, Beloved Friend of Jesus, I place Amanda in your heavenly care. Be with her, especially in life’s troubles and difficulties. Intercede before the Lord for her, so that she may confidently know she does not face her problems alone.

I join my prayers to yours, O Great Saint, as I ask God to give Amanda consolation in times of sorrow, courage when she is afraid, and healing from all the ills that afflict her.

Obtain for her from God, Most High, the grace to accept whatever is God’s holy will for her and her loved ones. Strengthen her faith so that she will never despair, but always have hope in God’s healing presence and power in her life. Amen

A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.

Divine Mercy
Eternal God,
in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion
  • inexhaustible,
    look kindly upon us
    and increase Your mercy in us,
    that in difficult moments
    we might not despair
    nor become despondent,
    but with great confidence
    submit ourselves to Your holy will,
    which is Love and Mercy itself.
    Amen
 
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,

I suffered from the same thing amanda, I would get paralysed throw up and get pins and needles in my whole entire body. Through the Lord I was saved.

Pax Christi
Stephen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
