You need to see a psychiatrist, if you have not already. I too suffer from severe anxiety and was given a drug called Zyprexa. The problem with the drug is that it caused me to gain weight.

Im so sorry 😦 I think it is natural to feel anxiety over this… anyone would! the only thing I can say is, try to just stay close to God… receive the Sacraments, go to Adoration if you can, read spiritual books… focus on Him, so He can give you more peace 🙂 try to trust Him in everything because He is with you.

God bless :hug1:

I’m so sorry to hear about you situation! I will say prayers for you!

Have you spoken to a priest? That would be my first move, if you don’t have a spiritual director than I highly recommend you get one. You will be amazed what a priest can help you get through.

Frequent reception of the sacraments also helps. Go to daily mass and go to confession as often as you can.

Although this may be an added suffering for you, remember that if you bear your suffering patiently and with great love, God will reward you greatly in Heaven. Also, you can offer your sufferings up for various intentions. You could offer it up for someone you love, the holy souls in purgatory, or maybe even your enemies.

May God be with you through this difficult time.
 
Hi Sweetie,

I too have severe anxiety and all the other posters gave good thoughts to you. Now, I will say for severe anxiety, Klonopin saved my life. I was having severe panic attacks that were 24/7 all day long and did not let up. A woman in my Church recommended Klonopin. I took it and it was like I was lying in a cool meadow with flowers all around. I had not eaten for awhile and was thin, thin, thin. The first thing I asked for to eat was ice cream. Imagine that.

Anyway, the best is to lift you up in prayer and pray that you will have comfort and peace. I no longer have anxiety nor panic attacks.

(By Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini)

FORTIFY me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit
and give Your peace to my soul
that I may be free from all needless anxiety,
solicitude and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You
so that Your will may be my will.

Love you,
Sheila <(((>< Soon, you will be free my dear friend.
 
try a novena to Saint Therese - ewtn.com/therese/novena.htm
there have been many miracles, especially cures, for people who say the Saint Therese novena,
at my old parish, which has a Triduum and a novena each year, they have a whole book filled with answered prayers from those who have gone to the novena,

you could ask for a cure, and if that’s not possible, then the grace to accept this cross as Gods will for you,

just pray on this, as much as you’re able to, and i will definitely keep you in my prayers too,
and here are a couple of books i think would help you -

Hi Angel-I wish I can just reach out and hug you-:hug3:, you sure can use a hug. I too have anxiety issues being a divorced, single mother of three-with two living with me. My son has autism-he lives with his dad, and my youngest also has aspergers, too. I also have aspergers along with depression and anxiety. I can emphasize with your anguish-it is quite frightening. Just put your faith and trust in God-pray to the Virgin Mary-she is your mother-and lean on your church, family, friends, for support. Try to also get into counseling-whether with a priest or a therapist. Believe me, a priest can be a big help during trying times. Oh-remember-I believe that when the times are tough, and you endure in faith, God sees that and in the end, it will pay off in Heaven. Think of Job-who suffered so horribly at the hands of Satan-lost everything-yet kept his faith and friendship in God. He was blessed many times over in the end. He is my role model 🙂 Try to keep your chin up, and whatever medical situation you have, stay on top of medical news and keep praying for a miracle. Maybe your pastor can also lay his hands on you and pray over you. Sometimes life throws curve balls at you…just please remember that there will be many folks praying for you-:sad_yes::signofcross::hug1::blessyou:

Hi I am so sorry for what has been happening to you.I can understand the feelings you have,it is perfectly normal to feel as you do, we all would.I don’t know what your condition is but I do know God loves YOU.He loves each of us, we are each of us, unique and very special to God.Some people have already suggested this and I would reiterate- go and make an appointment to see your priest.Write down what you feel and want to say before you get there then you will be prepared in case you are nervous and forget when you get there.He will really be able to help you.In the meantime why not start a prayer thread in the prayer intentions forum.May of us would love to pray for you.In the meantime you are in my prayers.Love and hugs for you xo

Lord please comfort our friend angel.We pray that she will get some much needed relief from her situation.Lord please grant she may feel Your love for her.Through Christ Our Lord Amen

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
 
You know you are not alone. Jesus is always near you, and if you are in state of grace, He even is in your heart. Meditate in Holy Scripture, the Word of God comes alive when prayed, and maybe the passage of Jesus in the Garden of Getsemany. It is the first of the sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. You are by the hand of Our Lady, accompanying Jesus in this terribe time: prayer, solitude (the apostles got asleep), the horrible dead that was coming… Just be with Him. Sure He knows what you are passing through.
God bless you, be with Mary
We pray for you
 
With my anxiety my mind was perfectly calm, but my body felt like it was going to explode! This lasted until effective treatment. Believe that it is treatable.

Also, hang on to LOVE.

What you are going through is natural. You are in shock. Give the news you have just received a chance to soak in. It sounds like you will what God wills, but your emotions are protesting. That’s normal.

Just continue to pray, even if you do not feel peace or consolation right away. It is going to take some time before your emotions get on board with your mind and will. As other posters have suggested, you can ask for help from the saints if you do not know what to say to God right now. Sometimes it is easier for us to read and pray novenas to the saints and have them lay our petitions before God when we feel unable to do so ourselves.

You are not alone. Not only is God always with you, but your guardian angel, the saints and even members here in this forum. We will all be praying for and with you. Post another message in the prayer intention forum so that more members can help intercede for you. Continue going to mass and at every Sacrifice, lay your needs at Christ’s feet. After communion, ask Mary to help you to accept God’s will, whatever that may be. Remember the scripture where Jesus told us that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without God’s knowledge. All the hairs on your head have been counted. Whenever you feel doubt and anxiety creep in, repeat to yourself the aspiration, “Jesus, I trust in You!” If you keep doing so, you will start seeing the fruit of such trust in God, I promise. :hug1:
 
I am praying for you. And ask Mary and St. Philomena and St. Jude and St. Therese to pray for you.

I pray that you have comfort and know you are never alone.

When I would have my anxiety panics id always walk away from where I was and let it out. But I don’t think mine were any were near as bad as you have it. Not trying to be mean. Id also go to the church and get lost in prayers and just have a conversation with god, jesus, mary. I was always alone so I could really open up about everything and if I felt like crying I would. Ill be sure to keep you in my prayers.
 
Hello Angel,

Please hang in there. Learning that you have a diagnosis with no cure is a tragedy, and you should expect to go through stages of grieving your health. This deep abyss of hopelessness will pass, even if your pain or illness doesn’t. Please don’t lose faith and get “stuck” in this stage.

My advice:

Offer up your physical and emotional pain for sinners, and for the souls in purgatory. Don’t waste the opportunity…So much good can come of suffering if we can do this.

Try to unite your sufferings with the Lord…picture yourself under the crossbar, like Simon, carrying the burden with Christ.

I know you may feel so depressed that you can’t even imagine buying and reading a book, but please consider these 3 books that may help you:

2 By Father Benedict Groeschel:

Arise from Darkness and Tears of God (These are written people who are living through pain and tragedy, and the issue of chronic illness is addressed at length.

The 3rd book is Trustful Surrender to Diving Providence. It is one of the best Catholic books ever written, and addresses how to accept all of life’s sufferings as Divine Providence. This book has changed many lives.

If you haven’t already, research your condition, and seek a second (or even a third) medical opinion. It would be a shame for you to miss the opportunity to receive a cure because your doctor is unaware of it.

Finally, PRAY! Miracles do happen, each and every day. Try to picture the reality of Jesus sitting beside you, comforting you, and pray.

God bless!
 
I believe your feelings are normal and to be expected with the news you received. Just continue to pray and stay close to God. Jesus has pulled me through many trials. Always remember all things are possible through him! 15 years ago I was told I had a rare disease and the longest I could expect to live was 6 months. ( this was from one of the top specialists in my part of the country) I recall being wheeled out because they decided I shouldn’t be walking and just complete shock. There is no way to describe the feelings. It was finally thought to be a misdiagnosis. No one was ever really able to explain it. It gave me two years in bed to think of how I was living and knowing if given the opportunity … (not to say I was bad person, but I knew there were areas I wanted to change if ever given the opportunity) change and live better. It sounds crazy, but it was a strange gift. I doubt I would have the closeness I have with Jesus if not for that period of life. I will keep you in my prayers. 🙂

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

Prayer for Healing
O God who are the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and the central peace of this universe, grant to me such a consciousness of your indwelling and surrounding presence that I may permit you to give me health and strength and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. :signofcross:
