I had terrible anxiety,nervousness and erythrophobia from 16 to 18.Everyday then was like a torment to me.I felt the whole world was looking at my awkwardness.My heart was filled with fear in school and I always wanted to be alone.I dared not to tell my parents and friends and I never went to a psychologist.
Things got better when I went to college,but it was just a little better than before.I didn't feel anxious and nervous all the day but I felt anxious some time during the day,especially there was something provoking it,exams,interviews,class gatherings,public speaking or even talking to a salesperson..etc And insomnia makes my life more miserable.
Now I am 23,I understand I can't go on like that.I accepted Jesus' help one month ago.I really really want cure.I pray everyday but my faith is too little.:(

I have got the job..Big thanks to our Lord Father:)
He cares about me:)
I thought I wouldn't got it and was a bit downcast on my way home.
Then I got a phone call that I am in.
I have been looking for a part-time job for some time and I had no luck.
But Father has given me the best today:)
It's good to say thanks to Father even when you feel unlucky and wait patiently.:)

As someone who has been diagnosed with OCD (different thing, I know). I think it may be wise to talk to someone in person. For me just talking about what I was going through with a doctor, helped a lot. I felt like it was something the doctor had seen before (a lot of the time I felt like I was the only one going through obsessing and no one could understand me or relate to me, it felt good to know that the doctor was willing to help and it felt like this was something normal that they have seen before) and it didn't make me feel weird or strange. For me, it took years before I ever seen a doctor as I was always intimidated about talking about personal issues with a stranger, but over time it has helped me. From the sounds of it, there really isn't anyone in your personal life who really knows what you are going through, I imagine that this can be a tough thing to go through with no human beings on your side and I imagine it can feel like nobody can understand you and you may even feel alone. You express your desire for a cure for your problem, perhaps a doctor and or Councillor and or friends and family is God's answer to that desire? (I am not sure of this, but it may be something you want to consider).
You are in my prayers and I wish you the best. God bless and good luck with your new job.

Sweet, i was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. So believe me, i understand where you're coming from. I've had it since i was a kid. I know sometimes it can feel like you're struggling all alone, and that things will never get any better. I wish there was a cure or something that could take this all away from you, me, and everyone else who has this, but since there isn't yet here are some things that i have learned to do that help lessen the anxiety.

Learning to relax yourself and slow your heart beat down is pretty important when you're feeling anxious. It takes a lot of practice, but if you get it down you can calm yourself pretty quickly.
Focus on one point (that's the hardest part) breathe normally (no deep breaths) and relax one body part at a time. It really is a lot easier said than done, but it can be done and it does work. Practice it, even when you are not feeling nervous or anxious. I've learned to relax myself to the point of falling asleep.

Don't fight the anxiety. It will just makes it worse. Just let it happen. Remember they are only feelings and won't last forever. When a person gets anxious the whole body starts to tense up which just creates more anxiety. When you feel it coming on, intentionally slow yourself down and just let it happen.

Caffeine and sugar can trigger anxiety. Try staying away from those.

Sleep. It's important you get enough of it.

No matter what keep moving, don't give in to it. I know it's uncomforfable and you feel like you want to jump out.of your skin, but it's only for a time. The anxiety will go away.
Memorizing scripture helps a lot as well.

I agree with Josh, talking with someone is a good idea too.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, i really feel for your sitaution and i hope it gets better.

I've been a Christian for over 13 years and have been dealing with anxiety for about 8 years. I was in a terrible cycle trying to deal with anxiety, worry, panic and fear within the church-- a church that wasn't equipped to deal with these things. They just prayed for me, laid hands on me… I would use Scripture like a mantra… I begged God to "set me free" and always felt He let me down. All of this leads to a DEAD END! Trust me. I've now been given amazing tools to deal with anxiety by someone who's come from being strapped down in a mental hospital and given about 10 shock treatments. She's a Christian woman and has the most amazing testimony of how she's overcome anxiety, panic and depression. I signed up for her course at Calvary Chapel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL; it was called "Unmasking Anxiety" and her name is Honor Weber. It was an 8-week course and changed my life! She's unfortunately just relocated BUT you can contact the church bookstore to purchase the course. I do NOT work for them and am only writing this to help others get help like I did-- because material like this is VERY hard to find! I went YEARS thinking God failed me, reciting Biblical verses, fasting, praying, feeling "crazy" and losing my mind… felt that no one understood me. Everyone told me to "trust God" or told me to see a Psychiatrist. I even saw a "Christian Psychiatrist" who only suggested I sit in a chair and stare at some lights moving side to side. This made me feel even more hopeless and didn't make sense to me and I never did it. Honor primarily teaches how our mental health is a direct result of the thoughts we have trained our brains to think. She goes in depth about how the brain works… about how thoughts scientifically enter into our brains and pass from one neuron to another and how they then excrete chemicals and adrenaline which then produces our anxious feelings and panic attacks. She shares Biblical verses about God's design for our minds and thought life. She makes it very clear how we "train our brains" to thinking anxiously, depressed, etc and how it forms "patterns" which need to be interrupted and broken. Anxiety is NOT a mental illness, it's not a sickness… it's a disorder that we ourselves CAUSE. Our brains have something like "muscle memory" and are trained to react to those "trigger" situations the same way each time. She teaches how to slow our minds down, to breathe correctly in order to calm all nerves and panic attacks, how to excrete chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters that are responsible for our moods. When I heard these things, it made PERFECT sense to me! We are responsible for our thought patterns and she helps you identify them. What's easier is that she's a very Type-A person with a hilarious personality. She makes you actually laugh at yourself.. PLEASE trust me and buy her course! I took her course but then purchased the MP3 CD and uploaded it all to my iPhone so I can listen anywhere at any time. God bless.

Well, I will suggest that I know where can get Help, how to get help and the price to pay for that help. His name is Jesus and He has what you need. To obtain Him it will cost you everything. If you don't pay full price for the Pearl then you have a counterfeit pearl. Matthew 13. You need a touch from heaven, healing, deliverance, sozo. Have you been baptized in water by going all the way under the water and back up in the name of Jesus? Have you received the Holy Spirit baptism? If you want to walk with Jesus and have the freedom He offers there are specific instructions laid out in His word on how to do this.

Keep praying.

I will not be like the other Christians in the world (on this site, in my church, in your sphere of influence, etc...), and tell you Jesus is going to fix everything. He died on the cross, paid the price for our sins with his death, was ressurected, nullifed the power of death for those who trust in him, and calls us to repent and follow him. That's all we can expect from him.

He will not fix everything immediately. HE...may not even fix it at all.
That's up to you.

Pray for someone to help you. Pray for therapists to be able to assist you. Pray for loved ones to be there for you. Hold strong to your faith in Christ to keep you focused on what's important, which is the eternal relationship.

Utilize whatever help you need here on Earth to assist you through your problems. Thanks to breakthroughs in the fields of Neuroplasticity and verbal communication, you can speak yourself out of negative to positive. This is also biblical...referred to as the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. )

So, start being thankful, speaking positive in all you have, CANCELLING ALL NEGATIVE SPEECH AND THOUGHTS...PROACTIVELY...WITHIN MIND AND SPOKEN WORDS...be MINDFUL of it all, and PRAY to Jesus to keep you steadfast.

After 21 days, you'll begin to make this a habit.
After 60-90 days, your reality will shift towards a happier life.

This is also biblical.

Ecclesiates 3:1-8: [ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ... ]

2 Peter 3:8 [ But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ]

Proverbs 16:3 [ Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. ]

Proverbs 6:6-8 [ Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. ]


Time fixes everything. CONSISTENT, PERSISTENT ACTION towards a worthwhile goal.
You'll feel better, and be ready to pursue your GOD-GIVEN dream.

;) Alright kiddo?
