Sure would appreciate some prayers to get control of panic attacks. Going through a very uncertain time and very fearful. My faith hasn’t been tested like this in a l-o-o-n-g time!

(Oh, if you have any good tips for dealing with these attacks, I’d love it)

Thank you and God bless you all for being here!
 
So sorry you are suffering! 😦 I’ve had one “full-blown” panic attack, I know that its terrifying. I learned to practise deep-breathing when I’m in a calm state so that I’ll be ready to breathe properly if it happens again. One thing to remember, you won’t faint, no matter how much you feel like it (blood pressure is too high for that).
I will pray for you! :console:
 
Praying for you. St. Pio said, ‘Pray, hope and don’t worry. Worry is useless.’
 
Sometimes while going through a tough period it can be helpful to have a (very small) prescription for anxiety medication. I found that the small dose I was prescribed did not completely blunt my emotions, rather, it just took the edge off. I found myself feeling “normally stressed” in situations that would have caused me to panic.

I found this helped me a lot because the next time I was in a similar situation I was much more confident. I could look back on it and remember feeling normal in that situation. I then set a goal of trying to get myself as close to feeling that “normal” feeling again without the medication.

Panic attacks are AWFUL. I wouldn’t wish them on anyone. They are something you can “train” yourself to overcome though. By taking small steps and carefully introducing yourself to panic inducing situations a little bit at a time you can celebrate a string of small but cumulative victories that ultimately result in overcoming panic attacks.

It doesn’t happen overnight, but it is possible and God will help you through it.
 
Hello, I will pray for you in my Thursday rosary. (I’ve had a few - I know they’re not nice). Have you ever seen a “comfort cross”. It’s made of smooth wood and fits in your hand. If you could keep one near by and hang on tight when you need it maybe that would help. God Bless… TeresaDiane:harp:
 
GardenMum, I pray that God will give you peace of mind and calm your anxiety.

The Dr. Oz show yesterday featured some natural ways to manage anxiety. You may be able to go to his website and see the information.

May God Bless You.
 
God bless all of you for being here and offering your support!

Your advice is wonderful and I think your prayers may be helping as well.

For some reason–I’ve been able to “re-frame” the way I look at an upcoming panic-inducing situation.

Instead of viewing it like a freight train bearing down on me, I’ve just–this morning--started to view it as a problem-solving challenge.

In other words–in my mind–I’ve replaced certain doom with “maybe there’s a way to solve this problem.” The result is that the level of terror in my soul has declined.

I don’t think I could have done this without your prayers because I’ve been struggling with this for weeks without any relief!

I often wonder whether, when Jesus said he’d never leave us, one way that he stays with us–in addition to the Eucharist in tabernacles around the world–is through others from whom the holy spirit and prayer flows. People like you!

Thanks again, and please continue with your prayers. I’ll pray for you too!
 
May you put yourself in God’s hands and trust in him to get you through your stress-filled anxieties. May our Lady ease your anxiety and intercede for you when you are having panic attacks. May she obtain for you from the Lord a remedy for your panic attacks. May you offer up your suffering co-redemptively and gain great merit this way. Amen.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you
 
Thank you again. You are all wonderful and I think your prayers have really helped.

I’ve begun praying the Rosary every day–albeit sometimes with distraction. (Trying to overcome that! 🙂 So it’s so appropriate that the last poster would have referred to the “Hail Mary!”

Perhaps it’s a sign that Our Blessed Mother is listening to me. 🙂

Thanks again to all.
 
Remembering you in my daily prayers. I’ve had an unusual number of those recently and I know they are just horrid. Glad things seem to be improving for you 🙂 God bless and take care.
 
Thank you and congratulations on the longevity of your marriage! (if that’s you in your signature!)
 
I am so sorry you are suffering panic attacks.I suffered with them for years on and off.My heart goes out to you.All I can offer is that you give up caffeine (if you haven’t already).Drink plenty of water.Try to keep a regular bedtime.Try to distract yourself…like reading a book.Initially I found this very hard because I couldn’t concentrate and re-read the same line over and over again…but I persevered and got engrossed in the story.It helped to take my mind of panic and anxiety. I of course pray as much as I can throughout my day for as many people as possible.I find praying for pthers helps me enormously. I try to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and avoid preservatives in soda drinks and foods.
Breathing techniques help…I am sure you can google these.Breathing in through your nose hold your breath a few seconds then slowly release the air through pursed lips as if blowing through a straw. Lavender oil is good to put a few drops in a bath or on your clothing to help you relax too.

God bless you

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
 
Thanks so much!

I find that it also sometimes helps to keep repeating that quote from St. Faustina: “Jesus, I trust in you” and breathe it in and out!

You all are great. Thanks again. 🙂
 
Our Father…
Glory Be…
Hail Mary…

Amen. +
St. Dymphna, pray for us! +
