All my life I worried about blushes,nervousness and the imagined “how people would misunderstand me".When I was in grade 4,a classmate broke one piece of window glass.The teacher didn't know who did it and scolded the whole class for quite a while..I was a shy kid.I was not the guilty but a strange demonic thought came to my mind that I SHOULD NOT BLUSH ---otherwise the teacher and the whole class would wrong me.Immediately I got very scared and blushed awfully.Although the teacher didn't seem to notice me,I cried very sad after school and I dared not to talk to my parents about it.I didn't understand it.
Time passed,I have never forgot that bad memory and I became more and more sensitive about blushes and how others would take me wrong.Especially in my teenage years I really cared what peers might thought of me.It got worse and worse.Eventually I found I felt horribly nervous to speak with boy classmates.My blush was like a time bomb.I felt insecure all day long.I was so afraid of being wronged or made fun of.Everyday in school was like a torture but I just didn't have enough encourage to confide to anyone.My parents never asked.
Finally I went to an university.I began to realize what others think of me are not that important.But I am struggling with a nervousness and anxiety that is like an unfortunate sequela.For a few times I thought I needed a psychologist but I forgot soon.I had insomnia and depression for a long time in my university dormitory.The most awful feeling was people laughing and talking but I was weeping quietly and alone--just couldn't sleep.And there are many many occasions that can make me nervous like some old bad memories attacking me.There's a time I was even afraid of talking to a shop clerk.
I want to change but I feel rather helpless.
However one day,it was a few months ago I learnt of Jesus and God.I see a hope that my life will get better.Now indeed I am getting a bit better.Now I count on God and Jesus to help me.In my thesis oral defense last month,I was nervous to die,then I slipped out of the classroom and wept and called Jesus for help.After that my nervousness relieved a bit.I was nervous but I performed unexpectedly good and got an excellence.
But there are times I still fail because of my nervousness and feel sad.I am about to leave home and look for a job in another city.I have an interview next week.I am worried.Brothers and sisters at CC,please pray for me.

Well,this is an emotional burst last night.Never thought I would talk about it on a forum.But I want people to know.I don't keep it a secret as when I did in teenage years.With time,I understand what I worry before is not worthy.I didn't realize it back a few years ago.

Im glad you have found Christ sister, I too deal with nervousness and anxiety and have also faced situations of having to speak in front of a class. But like you I came to prayer and relied on faith and found my self some how confident and able to speak well, praise God! I will keep you in my prayers, God bless

Hey your message really hits home for me for I also struggle with anxiety and go as far as panic attacks. You are doing the right thing and trusting in God. But God also puts things on this earth that help us like psychologists. I finally gave in and said I cant do this on my own and I prayed and that's the answer I got. God led me to get help. With the Lord you will learn that most the time God does not answer your prayer how you think. I got better but should of stuck with it because I am back to letting my mind control me with fear. Try deep breathing techniques and the only way to make it better. Is by facing it head on over and over until its just another day. It will not fully disappear ever but you can learn to control it and maybe even make it toward your advantage. Trust in God and when your scared turn to him. God is a God of trials. He is testing you just so he can build you up and make you stronger and wiser. So one day you can help some one out and tell them its going to be okay. Peace be with you and remember your not alone.:)

Let me tell you something.
What if I told you it was Satan telling you, you can't???
Would you let him!? NO! How dare he tell you that you can't do anything! Never ever let him or anyone tell you that you can't do anything! You are stronger than you think! Don't let Satan win next time because you CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT AND NO ONE CAN TELL YOU OTHERWISE! PFFFFT who does he think he is!

LET IT GO! IN THE NAME OF JESUS! GO AWAY!

See gone. Easy.

Ps. I also suffered anxiety, every time I say IN JESUS NAME GO AWAY it goes. Simple :)

Peace xx
