Hello! Thank you so much for writing to me today means so much! You have no idea made my day! Not easy at all. Usually I’m the type of person that helps others and I never really open up to people when I have something going on. I don’t want to put my worries on other people’s shoulders. I went to the Dr and had test done. Luckily it’s anxiety.. kinda bummed because my anxiety makes my ekgs come out abnormal. Made me worry! But I know once this storm passes it can go back to normal since I’ve never had an issue. I’m trying my best to fight it off. Today I’m really proud of myself did a good job at trying to shake it off and focus on me. Thank you for the prayer! I could use as many as I can get! God bless you! And thank you once again! Hope you had a fabulous day! :)
Don't worry about EKGs/ECGs being a wee bit abnormal. I have PVC abnormalities in my heart, which are common & don't mean anything. All it means is that my heart gives a wee extra beat every now & then. I was told years ago just to keep an eye on it, and if I feel anything abnormal to get it checked out ASAP.
Sometimes you have to focus on yourself. And we all have problems on here, so I don't think anyone will mind reading your posts. I work in Mental Health, and we get people coming in with absolutely crippling anxiety. They cannot function with doing even basic tasks. Medication can help as can just talking to someone. It's hard to get to the root problem of anxiety because, as I said, it can be caused by many different stressors (ie: relationship breakdowns, money problems, etc). Some people don't even know what causes it.
Yeh just take it one day at a time, do only what you can but later on, try to push yourself a wee bit too. Enlisting other people's help who understand your problem is great to.
Let us know how you get on! :)

You’re message is so comforting. I was so scared about having my ekgs abnormal since I’ve had them done before and they have always been normal. But I know anxiety and depression and also affect it. I feel like I need to heal from everything I went through but luckily I’ve made progress. I never thought a heart break could give someone anxiety. But then again I’ve been with this person for 6 years. Longest relationship I ever had. But I know that all of this will only make me stronger and can’t wait to look pass this and help others. I tried medicine and I learned it only made me worse but I’m glad I tried it and found out. Now naturally I’m trying! I feel like I have steps ahead. Before all I wanted to do was lay down and stay in my room. And now I spend time with my family and do little things. I will take your advice and try to add a little more here and there. With God by my side, amazing people such as your self and putting my efforts in! All this will pass 💛🤗

Hello there, and new member to new member, welcome to the site : )

I'm very sorry to hear that you've been going through so much emotional pain recently. I struggle with depression and anxiety to a degree too, but it sounds like yours is more severe. I saw you say that you never really got to vent about the struggles you've been through? You're free to do so here, and I for one would be willing to listen. We all need people to live out God's love and support us from time to time.

Just found this thread today. I wish I had seen it sooner. I have felt strange and terrible things happening in my body and mind also. Satan attacks when we are weakest and most vulnerable. I think you are right about why God allows such things to happen. You will be used of God to be a great uplifter and encourager to many. You are being so right now. Amen, everything is going to be okay! Thank you Jesus!

Good morning everyone... This is my 1st time writing a blog ever! And new to this website… so not really sure if anyone will read my post. It’s 5:46 a.m.. think I’ve only slept for 1 hour. Tonight has to be one of the worse nights. For the past 3 months I’ve been having such bad anxiety, stress and depression. I’ve gone through a few rough years and I think everything just build on my shoulders until finally my feelings exploded. It’s been rough.. I’ve had so many panic attacks these past few months I’ve lost count. Tried so many antidepressants they were all a fail. To be honest they brought on panic attacks ever since I haven’t taken any I haven’t got an attack. Just dealing with these unbearable anxiety symptoms… chest tightness and discomfort… a little pain…sometimes hard to breathe… (has gotten somewhat better) ehh and I’ve been clenching my jaw so bad at night & during the day. The muscle tension in my chest is the worse. I can handle the one in my back and the tightness.. I just get afraid with the tightness and sensations in my chest. I’m trying so hard to beat anxiety. Been researching so much and trying little things.. but it can be so debilitating. Never in a million years did I think I would go through this. Don’t wish this on anyone! This has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through & trust me I’ve been through ALOT! I can’t wait for the day that I can look back at this and think I beat it… I’m healthy, I am fine, and most of all I AM HAPPY! I know I can’t give up and I have to fight! I hope & I pray that the month of October will be a better month. So stay strong!
Firstly,



Many of us go through so much we wonder how we come out the other side. There's that old saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I believe that to be the case. However, the other old saying that goes, God doesn't give you more challenges than he knows you can handle, usually results in the response, Oh? Well, I wish sometimes He wouldn't trust me so much. :LOL:

I am sorry to read you've been through so many trials. However, you've come out on the other side and now you've found a God loving community in Christ. Surely, God has sent you on the bright path. :) May your time here be blessed. And your life be at peace and with more blessings than tears.

Having suffered bad anxiety I can honestly recommend the books of Claire Weekes. She has an insight into nervous illness better than anyone I know! You have basically become afraid,of the state you are in. So afraid of another attack that the stress feeds into your sysytem and causes....yes...another panic episode. Its a vicious cycle.....but you can get free!
