Having trouble again need prayer!

Hi, I am on week 9 getting ready to start week 10. Overall I thought I was doing better but last few days have been feeling more anxious. And then last night was horrible. I was up until 2 am and got soooo shaky. Had mexican for dinner which kicked in hiatal hernia issues, acid reflux and heart palpitations which in turn made the anxiety worse!!! I do take xanax and finally took one about 2 am. But I am still feeling more on edge today. Any suggestions other than don't eat mexican?

That I know was stupid of me but I didn't know it would hit me that hard. I am asking also for prayer for God's peace to help me calm down and get back on track. Thank you and God bless, Tammy

Tammy,

Some days are better than others. Any time that I have ever not been able to sleep in the middle of the night I have grabbed out my BIBLE actually scriptures that I had written in the past that is about fear or worry. I would read them while listening to some christian music. Sometimes it takes us taking our minds off of everything and only onto the Lord. I have been anxiety free for a little over a year but I have recently found out that I am pregnant and anxiety has tried to creep back at me. I have prayed for you and will continue praying for your full recovery. God bless you and know that any time you need to talk Im here.

You're in my prayers Tammy! Stay Strong and just DO YOUR BEST! And remember.. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. These symptoms are only temporary, do what you have to do to focus on the tasks at hand.

I know it's difficult to stop dwelling on our anxiety and the problems that come with it but God will give you strength. You know that! Get your mind off things.. read a good book, watch a favorite movie, talk to a trusted friend.. do something that makes you feel good about you. And of course use your peer support system. God bless us all..

PEACE and LOVE, Crystal

I have been on the program for six weeks. For several weeks, there were no more panic attacks, and my anxiety was low. but just yesterday I had both, and was upset that I didn't know why. I could not come to the root of the stress that could have caused it. It is hard to think that I can kick this behavior for good, if I can't figure out why it is happenning. If anyone wants to listen to my story of when this all started, and try to help me figure it out, let me know.

Hi Jennifer and Crystal, thank you for your prayers and words of encouragment.
Jennifer - Congratulations! You will be fine throughout your pregnancy! And it is so good to hear you made it through.

Crystal - Thank you, you are so right and good advice. I know God is faithful to see me through. I have to learn to trust him more and take that one day at a time.

JasmineCat, if you need to talk please feel free to PM me. I have found that sometimes we may not be able to get to the root of the stress and that may cause more stress! Hang in there girl!
