Shakey Susie, you and I are in the same booat. I have missed church most of this year because of anxiety. I feel so guilty and of course my mother doesn't help. I have gone once to a funeral and did well. but that was for a boss at work not a real loved one. What if someone in my family dies, I don't know that I could handle that let alone going to a funeral.
I feel like I can't handle sitting still for an hour, I feel like I'm trapped. Does anyone else feel this way? How can I stop it. I am doing alot better at work. I just can't be in a situation I can't control. Like I said, I feel trapped sitting still surrounded by people.
Are we being silly or what. It just occured to me, church should be the safest place there is, right! You don't even have to talk to people. Like my mother says, you just sit there for an hour. I think I will try this Sat., Maybe that will be easier. Good luck to you and GOD BLESS!!!
The house has been sick and right now I'm the worst, but I still hear myself saying, "You still could've gone." I know deep inside that He understands that me and my little ones are sick, but the thoughts are still there. I guess I could be expecting too much of myself and some rest is exactly what I need to kick this cold and make it to church next week. Well, I guess any cheerful comments would be helpful, thanks for listening
