I believe I asked prayer tues night about driving into the city Wed.

Started out ok but started getting nervous when the gps went haywire and took me all around. Did get there ok. The guys unloaded everything and I left. Heading back was a nightmare and I started getting even more nervous. By the time I dropped the van off and got home, I started shaking uncontrollably both inside and out. Yesterday the rest of the day was horrible. I couldn't calm down, was upset and depressed and had negative thoughts. Took a xanax and was much better. Last night I woke up at 3am in a panic thinking that I had to go to the city again but I had told the boss what had happened and he was going to drive. Thurs -- most of the day I was fine tho I had moments of the fear come up again but now... I had woken up at 2am and am feeling so nervous that I can't shake the feeling and can't go back to sleep.

I dont know what to do.

If if you can pray that I get over this and it just goes away for good but if u can also pray that my friend will understand that I'm not making this up that this really has affected me tremendously. I feel he's angry or upset with me bc he got me this job and I extremely appreciate it. I just had no idea that it was going to affect me like this. Yes, I never liked driving in the city, but I wanted to work and needed money so I did it. I pushed myself and did everything asked of me even though I did make a few mistakes. I did my best each time I drove. I just want my friend to understand that and wish he'd talk to me.

It's going to be all right sister. Your Heavenly Father has His Eye on His precious daughter. Go to Him. He is waiting for you to more fully Trust that He has you.

I am NOT a Dr. But I have had some experience with xanax and similar drugs. I found them to be INCREDIBLY dangerous. A band aid that does not address the core problem, requiring a LARGER band aid to cover the wound that grows. Xanax is one of those drugs that require a larger dosage over time to get the same temporary effect that you got with lesser dosage.

DON'T quit cold turkey, but do some research about slowly getting off of it.

Dear Holy Father, Abba, I come before You asking that You give this sister of mine the deep knowledge and assurance that You are in control. You are caring for, and watching her, protecting her, and that she need not have any fears, worries, or anxieties. Your Perfect Love casts out all fear. So make her understand this is NOT from You, but from her enemy, and her dead flesh trying to come back to life.

Use this trial to make her a more effective witness to the Gospel of Truth, which is that Your Son has died for her, and rose to new life, giving her freedom from fear and every other thing that works against her. I ask this in His sweet Name.

find a Christian Counselor if you can, ask around to find one, for they are very RARE,
and they can help you get in touch with what your REAL PROBLEMs are, and Help to heal you
through the touch of Jesus Christ's Heart and your Faith in His Love for you...

'Seek and you will find'...

Dear Maniastar, I see you are going through a difficult time, struggling with health challenges while trying to do your best at work and also keep your friend happy. Kudos to your efforts. Will like to know, how well are you taking care of your health? From what you describe I think seeing a good doctor and taking meds regularly will be a good step. This will help you feel better and be more stable at work. Have you tried discussing your health challenges with your friend? He might be a good support system you know...
Will you also like to talk to some counsellors? You can arrange to speak with a counsellor at no cost by calling 1-855-771-HELP (4357) Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Mountain time.
I will be praying for your quick recovery,
Her

I know how you're feeling. I've dealt with crippling anxiety for a long time. I am thankful for it though as it is what brought me to God. I am actually having it far less now and I know that it is His doing. Believe in him and ask him for help to rid you of these thoughts and feels and he will. He will if he believes it is time for you to be rid of them. If not, it is because there is a reason for what you are going through. It is all part of his plan and He would not put you through something that He knows you can not handle. Believe in him as He believes in you. I have prayed for you. God Bless you.
