Jennifier, Thank you so much too, for this post, it was beutiful!!!!! You know sometimes it is hard for me to visit the peer support group everyday, or should I said better "make time", since as a homemake Mom there are always shores to do, but when I see uplifting messages like this one, This reminds me why is so important never miss a day to visit the site, since you always have the opportunity to either learn something new or find true!!! wonderful and sensitive people like you that act like angels on earth. Thank you for your post. Lovelysmile

fear not I know how you feel,you are not alone there are alot of us hiding behind are fear.I have made a little progress with my agrophobia but I regressed 3 years ago and I haven't fully came out of it I had almost gotten well.but I believe that if you don't get passed it all you have an area and there seems to always be an area you are reluntant to face.the thing is we need to learn to not be afraid of the panic.I can't seem to make my self face the areas I need to go to.
Last jan my husband had to have a heart catherization and I live in a small town 100 miles I could not make myself go here I was home by myself and him up there all I could do was pray that he would be okay and they cleaned out one artery and put a stent in what usally happens is more stop up now I feel like I need to get well more than ever.I am doing the program again I never got through it totally pm me some time we have alot in comon please pray for me

lovelysmile, I am glad that you got on here and was uplifted by what I had wrote, I thought that it was a nice reminder to keep trusting in the Lord no matter what we are going through. I hope that you will find great blessing in all that you do. God bless you!
foreveryoung06, I am sorry to hear about what has happened to your husband but remember that he is there for us always and maybe you needed to be at home rather than at the hospital with your husband. God bless you! Everything happens for a reason and even though we sometimes don't understand it God will use our discretions to make things turn around in our life. I think alot of us have anxiety and that is because we needed to get closer to the Lord and I have seen people talking about how they have grown so close to him since having it. Keep faith and know that everything will be okay and the Lord is there with you!
fear not, that was a wonderful prayer. God bless you!
Don,
thanks for the kind words. I try to keep an upbeat positive thinking because we are not suppose to worry and be fearful so I try to keep the positive thinking up and I try to make things alright in my head so that I can walk in faith. And you are such a blessing to me!
God bless you all!

thanks to everyones replies,there is so much support on this forum,Don you are an inspiration I love a success story we can all be one too if we will not give.Jennifer the poem was beautiful.You are very inspiring.
fear not you are not alone,I keep telling myself I will get well.I have given up too many times before I finished I had gotten so much better I have been worse than I am now.I do work and drive the short distance to town.I go to a few towns the farthest 25 miles but the interstate is the problem and if you ever run that is it it reinforces the fear I am having a hard time believing I am doing this to myself,problem is I had a book that was written by dr david sheehan may not be spelling that right but he called this the anxiety disease and he told how the panic came on out of no where and then the phobias developed and how the fear renforces the phobias and it is a vicious cycle. well he says you need to take medicine to stop the panic attacks then face the phobias well I have took medicine for 25 years I got a lot better face a lot of fears but the strong ones still remained,I lived like that for 20 years no panic attacks as long as I did't go to my forbitten areas.then one day facing a new area only 10 miles down the road I was having a lot of anxiety and had my husband to turn around and from then on it has been down hill all the way.
I never finished the program I only listend to the tapes on my way to work.I need to give it all I got this is my life and I need to take control hand it over to God and I have tried.just not hard enough I am talking to myself more positive and I remember what Carolyn said always tell the turth.and the lovely word stop it if nothing else works thanks everyone and fear not we will make it we will get there we are just taking the long way around.

Forever young 06 You are doing alot better than I am.I haven't driven in 2 years!I pushed myself to go to the grocery store with my husband last week.It was difficult but I did it!If I would have only known what I was doing to myself by avoiding more and more 12 years ago I probably wouldn't be so stuck!I'm with you on that I also have trouble believing that I've caused this anxiety.I kinda got myself into a real mess.I'm taking Xanax extended release 1mg 3 times a day and still have panick attacks!I refuse to up the dose.I was always against the meds until 2 years ago when my anxiety hit bottom.Alot of major changes sent me over the edge and every sense then it's been quite the struggle.I will say that I'm much better from then and from even a year ago.Thank-you Jesus!But you are right we are taking the long road.That's ok because I really do believe that one day It will all make sense to us and that's when we will totally let go of all this worry.Just keep believing and trusting in God.He's really the only one we can totally rely on to never give up on us.Take care and God Bless!

fear not I hear you my friend I was where you were 20 years ago.I had to depend on my husband to take me to the grocery and at one time he had to pick them up for me.I was almost house bound so I have been where you are.It can and will get better.We need to accept that we are causing this and keeping ourselves here by not facing it but in the right way and with our new skills.The Bible tells us to not be afraid over and over,so there must be a way to not be afraid we must find it.Its all in not giving up.you said your family left for vacation,where did they go?and when are they coming back?I am going to church by myself my husband has a very bad cold so he doesn't feel like going.it is only 2 miles from my house.it is so funny how a person can go one way then can't go the other way the same distance.

Forever young 06,They went to Gatlinburg Tennessee for 4 days.It's about 7 hours away.It's been I long 2 days already.Like Lucinda says on the coaching tapes we don't like alone time because that's when the negative thoughts really come in.I'm trying to stay positive and strong.Yes it is funny how we can do some things and not some others.It's because we either come down to having no choice or because we tell ourselves we can or can't.It just proves that we're capable of doing things.That dumb fear!!LOL!I mean I had no choice it was either go to Tennessee or stay by myself.Both were very uncomfortable to me but of course I chose stay home alone.My sister just drove herself all the way to Florida yesturday.I can't even imagine being able to do that!Buy the way I just turned 38 about a week ago I've started this anxiety when I was 26.I'm wasting away all my younger years!That really bothers me.Oh well it's like what Joel Olsteen said today "You can always have a new beginning if you just believe!"I believe this so there is definately hope for you and me and all the others.Take care and I hope you have a good day!
