Stress Center Peer Support

Hey everybody!I have high anxiety and panick attacks.I'm usually full of energy but lately in the afternoon I've been becoming very tierd.I'll sit down to watch TV and the next thing I know I've fallen asleep for like 2 hours!This is pretty much everyday.It's just freaking me out because I never really was like this.I've been dealing with some depression because of the constant anxiety.You know feeling lonely,left out,crying easily.I try and keep going.I clean the house but that's getting old considering that I think that's what led me into this anxiety disorder.I had become a compulsive cleaner and everything had to be in it's place or I'd go off in an anger rage!This was hard to keep my house this way considering that I have 4 kids.By the way of course no one else would do any of cleaning.It wouldn't have mattered I guess because it had to be done my way.Most of that behavior came about because I was feeling very judged by several people.Anyway now I'm a mess and just freak out about everything like being tierd!I also freak out if I get hungry.Feels like I'm going to starve to death and fall over!It's just all almost unbelievable!Any help on this one?Thank you so much.

Sweeatheart, you are not alone. Sometimes I too need a shoulder to cry on. I find inner strength by reasoning my way through things. Keep believing in your self reach for the stars even if it feels like theres none to reach. Pray to God to show you direction and stay the course. Try walking when you are starting to feel alittle blue. Distract yourself by finding & discovering things you like to do. Theres a way outt of anxiety. Change takes time. Be patient with yourself. Devote your time to learning how not to be overeactive. It might feel a little fuzzy at first. These are new reasoning skills. It took us a long time to develop this way of thinking and with patience & persistance sister we are going to make it. Through Christ Jesus we are more than conquerors. Learn to love yourself through the trials anyway. Don't be concerned with the way people treat you. Instead look within to observe how you can change the way you respond. People wont change. We don't have the power to change what they do or say. And it is their actions not ours. We can choose not to let it bother us and be our own parachute and respond in a different way. These skills are open doors for bringing about change and freedom. Be of good courage, lower your expectations of others, because it will set you up for disappointments expecting things or what they say. We have a voice and we have a right to choose our way of thinking

Thank you so much!Just the word sweetheart made me feel cared for.You know you just start to feel unworthy.Every time I start to pick myself up which by the way is through the Word of God the people I live with which is my husband,2 daughters,and my 7year old son purposely try and knock me down.Not my little boy.He is full of love.They mock the Lord and Joyce Meyers who is one of my favorite preachers.I try and fight back but they come to strong against me.My dream is to keep pushing forward through God and have the freedom that He wants for us.I want to help others who are hurting.Thank you for your post.You are so kind.

I feel that way to never give up everytime I make some kinda progress my family attacks me and knocks me down. Honey I know where you are coming from and I hope together we can find some strength. I too am a believer in God but I find myself so discouraged and feel so unloved and attacked that it is so hard to keep going forward. I am trying to use my new learned tools from the program and sometimes it works but most of the time they know what buttons to push to make me insecure again. I am working hard to recover and praying hard for strength.
So I do understand I hope that helps to know you are not alone. I wish I could give more wisdom like MMH did but I don't have any except hang in there honey you are not alone.
God bless
Mimi
