I know its not a good idea to self diagnose. I've only done it 2 times (this is the 2nd) and last time I was right & my old doctor was wrong.

I believe I worry too much. & when I am in trouble (eg. bad performance at work, relationship trouble, fights..) I have these bursts of uncontrollable worry, fear, & anger. So I suggest they're known as anxiety "attacks." Because I can never get through them without tears, twitches, & depression.

I've always worried. I've always prayed I wouldn't. Also for this to go away. But it remains even though The Lord places guides & too many "coincidences" to remember. So its possible my anxiety saves me from my egotistical personality? ... I just wanted to share that because I have many more thoughts about worry than I do about confidence. Yet God knows I'm confident.

Thank you everyone who keeps in contact with me. Every word you use goes a lot farther than most think.

Thank You Lord.

I'm only 17 so I really haven't had a chance to worry about tomorrow, but I thought of these when I read your post:

John 14:1
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

Isaiah 26:3
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

It takes work not to worry like it takes work to rest in the Lord; I know that much.
It isn't easy, but thank God we've got Jesus Christ who makes us able to do the impossible, huh?

hmm well we all have struggles that we suffer with day to day but we must remember not to let them get the best of us. This past week and current week have been very difficult for me myself. I also go into these "depression" states but it is not visable to other people but rather all in my head. What really helps me get through this is remembering that there is no need to worry if God is in your life. He is there to take care of us and everything is under his perfect timing whether it fits our needs at the moment or not. Pray for the strength to get through this and every morning before you leave the house tell yourself that you will. Plant that seed of encouragement, every day it'll grow more and more :)

Thank you Kyouken, Jess, & Lucy.

I worry I'm being misunderstood (not by any posters so far, its just my wording isn't clear 'enough') but that's fine because my words are clear enough & anymore words will be a call for attention, I don't want pity, just the understanding will do. :)

1Pe 5:7 Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you.

Mat 6:27 Can any of you add a single hour to your life by worrying?

I pray God will deliver you from the torment of worry and anxiety. God bless

See a doctor, he should be able to help diagnose things, don't be afraid to see a psych or take medicine, God heals but the way in which he does may sometimes be mundane.

Above all trust in God. He loves you.

I'm sorry but I disagree with the need for medication for everything. Medication will treat the symptoms (with several side-affects) but will not take care of the underlying condition/problem.

I'm not saying medication is always a bad idea...but our society has been trained into thinking all we have to do is take a pill and everything will be fine. These drugs affect the whole body and not always in a good way :)

Sorry I should have clarified.

Don't be afraid to see a psychologist and if medication is recommended take that as well. The way your brain works may be more the issue and medication can help with symptoms.

I def agree with you though Lucy, medication won't fix everything.

I had an anxiety disorder and was on medication and seeing a psychologist for it. No longer seeing a psych and am slowly coming off the medication yay! I know with myself that the medication definitely helped - but it was the psychologist and God that has been fixing the problem. :)

God can take the worrying from you, if you allow Him to. I have learned, being someone who used to worry a lot, that it truly does no good to focus on the things that make us worry. IT can cause so many problems, as you know. Try to keep positive and ask God how you can overcome individual situations. Trust God to help you :) Praying for you! God bless!

I've suffered from severe anxiety for several years and I'm telling you it all boils down to faith. Increase your faith at all cost.

If you have a vitamin or health food store in your area see if they have 'gaba'. Its a natural supplement that helps reduce anxiety. Its not quite as strong as things like xanax, but its also not addictive, does have all the side effects, and long as you don't take too much, doesn't make you drowsy or medicated feeling.
They sell it in different formats, but i suggest capsules. They can be opened, and the powder form poured into water. Water bottles are great for this. Taking it this way is more effective. Then you can take a few big gulps to get it into your system, then sip on it. Doesn't always make it go away, but helps take the edge off and easier to cope with the symptoms. For added effectiveness you can take vitamin... hmm b6, or b12, but the person working there will likely know. Something to consider at least.
