Stress Center Peer Support

Calm down and relax. If your at the top of the list, then remember you'll have a better chance at getting the place, than anyone. First you have to have hope. Here is some. Your first and biggest and best step will be getting out of the abusive situation. You need to do this. Once you do this, and still have the will to get better, things will change. Don't give up your faith! In my opinion faith does not help because we think God can fix our problems. Faith helps because we realize that God is on our side and will support us if we choose to get better. Here is the good news. Your Agoraphobia is very very treatable. You are not a special case. You are not the one hopeless individual. If you want help and work at it, you can beat it. But first you need to get out of the abusive situation at all costs. No matter what happens you will be better off. Good luck and keep posting if you need support, because we are all here to support each other. Remember you havent always felt this bad, so you will not always feel this bad.

God is the unlimitled potential and Love in YOU. He's the Infinite Creator that can answer any situation or predicament with a creative solution if you remain faithful in trying to hear Him. Even if you don't get this place something will work out...those people in your life, ie your caseworker and us companions here are here to help and encourage...

Sass,
God is where he always he, right there with you!!! You havent been denied the apt. God works in his own timing. Try to stay calm, this time of year is really busy. Trust in God that he is working in your life and your situation.
Like you said, it was a miracle they moved your name to the top of the list. Be thankful for that. The others are right Agoraphobia can be treated successfully!!! I know cause i was one for 6yrs. And before that, i didnt think life would ever be different. But IT IS!!
im sure your case worker knows and made it understood how ill you were that day. Until they say no to the apt,, keep the HOPE you have, and let it grow.. Take care Nelly:)

God is everywhere and talks to us all the time.
We do not usually listen for him/her. We all are having problems with being positve but please try when you talk to God. Try not to plead, it really doesn't help much. Be firm in what you need and see yourself already possesing what you want, whatever it happens to be. You will get your answer if you are open to it! Bless you!

Heavenly Father please go sassafraz right now and give her a peace that she has never felt before. Give her a calmness that she has never felt before. Give her direction on what to do to help her heal. If you are showing her open her eyes to see what You what her to see. Protect her from this absive relationship. Cover her with you wings and shelter her.
Heavenly Father we know that You love her wrap your arms around her and heal her. Cover her with you precious blood Jesus and heal her.
In Jesus prcious name we pray.
Satan you have no part in her life we rebuke any negitive thoughts you are putting in her minds and all of our minds . In Jesus name Amen

In the beginning of this nightmare I too asked, "Why isn't God answering my prayers?" Then I realized he was, through the help of other's, like Lucinda, Howard Liebgold, everyone on this site, and my therapist. He brought me the people and tools to conquer this anxiety.

My faith has been strengthened by this experience. I'm on Week 12, and realized I was resisiting a strengthening of faith in God.

God love us all, and doesn't want us to suffer. Stay positive, pray and have faith that things will work out.

God bless, Susan

After you start your new life, because you will, I will bet you that there will be someone out there, someone you run into on the street, someone you meet online, a friend, a family member, a future child, SOMEONE out there that you will be able to look back on you current situation and say "Hey, here's a story of a few years back of my situation. Heres how I handled it. There's hope. I doubted, but I came out ahead." I believe we are teachers and I know with my anxiety, I felt like there was no hope until I helped a good friend who needed me with far worse mental problems than I had. My pain gave me insight and a willingness to help others. Someone is going to need you in your lifetime, and you will look back on your pain and touch someones heart. You might save them from the ultimate "giving up." Think about that.

troubledsue,
i really loved what you write and how true it is..and yes we do meet others and as we look back we can tell how far we have come..this time last year i was as bad as most or worse as some. but one day i woke up and it was gone.now i can do things that i could not do before.or if i did i was scared to death..
i found out that prayer helped when i needed comfort and i could talk to others that were going through the same thing as i was for help.
as for the one that asked WHERE IS GOD.
he is everywhere and he will answer prayers and the time that we are about to give up might be the time that he was going to answer our prayers.never give up but hang in there and get the skills and tools and see where it takes you.know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers and GOD BLESS..
MERRY CHRISTMAS
DON
p.s. look how far i have come read my profile. its just a part of what i am writing about.

God wouldn't have given you anxiety and put you in the situations you're in unless he knew you were strong enough to overcome them, and wise enough to help others in the future.
