The past week or so I’ve been experiencing severe anxiety. I wake up having panic attacks in the middle of the night. I feel like I’m having anxiety attacks nearly all day long, with only brief periods of relief. There is no trigger that I can think of- my home life, job and finances seem fine. I’m not worked up about politics. My family and pets are healthy. I’ve been fighting an illness but have been steadily improving with every expectation of a full recovery. It just feels like something has gone completely wrong in my body and that I’m just being inexplicably flooded with stress hormones. I feel like a guitar string tightened to the point of snapping. I saw one doctor yesterday and had bloodwork to check my hormones because I’m on HRT for perimenopausal symptoms. I’m seeing my primary care doc today as a follow up. I just feel like I’m about to collapse from the stress symptoms. I’m sleep deprived from waking up having panic attacks (it takes hours to fall back to sleep) and I’m just a basket case.

I’m begging for your prayers. Please ask our Lord to relieve me of this suffering. Pain I can tolerate. Normal illness I can tolerate. But this anxiety is horrible. Please, please pray for me. Thank you very much. If you put an intention in your response, I will pray for your intentions also.
 
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 hour of death,
Amen
 
Mommy K, thank you! An Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be offered for any of your intentions and necessities also. I’m grateful for your prayers.
 
Praying for you. Anxiety and panic attacks are usually caused by nervous fatigue. They can be particularly disconcerting because they seem out of place. If you panicked because a bear was charging you, you would not be concerned about the fact that you panicked since it is an understandable response. However, when you panic and there is no external threat then you are more concerned. You might think there is something wrong with you. However, if you have been to your doctor and there is nothing wrong that they can find then it is probably just nervous fatigue inducing panic attack. In this case it is important to note that there is nothing wrong with you and the feelings and symptoms you are experiencing are completely normal and will not hurt you. They may be extremely uncomfortable and painful, but they are your bodies natural response to a perceived threat. Your body will not hurt itself. This is brought on by nervous fatigue which is caused by prolonged thinking about nervous and negative thoughts. Your body needs a steady diet of good thoughts. But when we are constantly feeding it negative thoughts the body starts to become fatigued. And then we experience symptoms in our body which triggers more worries which causes the panic attack. This second fear, the fear of the symptoms is what causes the attack. This is the trigger. In order to recover treatment from a professional counsellor can be very helpful. In addition it is important to realize that these panic attacks though painful do not hurt you. You might experience soreness but there is nothing damaging you. You might think of it as equivalent to having a work out. It is a normal reaction to a frightening situation. The key is to learn to not be afraid of them and add that second fear. In addition you need to change your thinking. Do not ne afraid of thoughts in your head. They are just words that can not hurt you, like a lion with no teeth. Your worrying about the problem is exacerbated the situation. You need to learn to prayer fully give the situation to God. You need to let go of trying to control everything and give things to God to look after. You may need some rest and some physical activity. Sorry this getting so long but I have a lot of experience with this issue. Anyways, Praying for you. God loves you and you are ok. You have nothing to worry about. It cannot hurt you. If you want anymore advice or have any questions on this issue send me a message and I will get back to you. God bless.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Prayed for you, added a Hail Mary. I understand, I recently went through something similar, although I was able to p(name removed by moderator)oint some causes. I think any hormone changes in us ladies can definitely make any anxiety and stress symptoms way worse. God Bless!
 
Will do…praying a genuine peace to settle in.
God bless you,
Clare
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon AKDee in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Prayer Against Depression
………….By St Ignatius of Loyola

O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.

Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús
(Santa Teresa de Ávila)
 
May our Lord Jesus Christ and His holy Blessed Mother wrap their arms around you and bring you deep peace.
 
This attack of anxiety sounds very severe, hope that the doctor you’re seeing today can help you.
Will certainly pray for you.
 
Thank you all for your prayers- my doctor’s appointment was productive and my bloodwork came back with a severe drop in one of my hormone levels that might well be causing the problem. They’ve made a dosing change for me. I do feel better also, and believe that it was the power of all your prayers. I will be praying for each of you individually for God to bless you in your necessities and intentions.
 
I will pray for you, I struggle with anxiety to, so I understand the burden it is.
