There is hope...

Hey everyone,

hope everybody is doing okay, and had a great Memorial Day. Just checking in to say, I have had another good week. I am hoping my anxiety, and panic has gone into a remission state finally. It happened years ago, and then left me for another few years. Then as you know it came back a year ago in full swing. I honestly wish I could say what I have done this time around, to make it better. I do know the one thing I have finally done recently is putting my symptoms onto God. I start every morning listening to the spiritual C.D.s and tell God that I know he has helped me before, so if he will help me again to have a good day. I am putting everything into his hands. If I start to feel a little bit of anxiety, somehow I am turning it off. I think I have learned to accept that my anxiety is the trigger to my other weird symptoms, and they aren't going to hurt me. They are very annoying, but I have been in that situation many times, and made it through. Now, the next storm we get, I might have another one, because bad storms give me severe panic. So that will be my test. I am so not trying to brag, I just want others to know that it can subside. There were to many times I swore there was no way it was going to get any better. There is hope for all of us, to at least get a break from it..

Hey great news! Yes it is encouraging to hear others having great days, then we are assured, the rest of us will too.

it matters not of the higher power, just your faith in your higher power. well done paddicake. i am very pleased for you.

ps. i do not believe in god. but that is still okay i hope? i do however respect each and everyone's faith. my higher power is different but that is okay too i hope.

dear happy turtle, i cannot speak for anyone else, but i can tell you what i used to tell the 8 year olds in my religious education class when i used to teach in australia, 6 years ago, which is, even though you don t believe in God, He still believes in you! i do not know any Christians who would be angry or upset because you don t believe in God. they will continue to love and talk to you, as the good friend you are to them. it is wonderful of you to encourage the people on this forum, no matter what your personal beliefs, blessings to you and yours

To all of my dear A/P friends,

We are united here because of our common challenges and struggles...not in what we do or do not believe in.

Our faith is a personal issue, and should be seperate from our common cause here which is anxiety...

So it is within our rules to keep comments of our faith general, and not to push our beliefs on others...

That being said...I see nothing wrong in anyone's posts here.:)  There are simply statements about what has helped...and about what we do or do not subscribe to religiously speaking.

We are simply different in how we believe, and there is room for all of our ways of thinking.

Love to all!!!

S.C.

 

Happy Turtle:
No offense taken whatsoever....I enjoy many of your posts, and advice. Like scaredy cat said, we all have different beliefs. That is not what we are here for, and it doesn't matter what anyone of us believe in, we do all believe in each other. That is the most important thing. I had my faith dwindle a few years ago, and I am getting it back. It doesn't matter to me what your faith is, because even though I'm getting my faith back, I still have other things I believe that other people don't. That being said, I will never get mad at anyone commenting on my post, with what they believe. It matters to me only the support I get from kind caring people..and I appreciate each and every one of you...

Lisa, the only meds I take are for my ulcerative colitis, and xanax for my anxiety. I only take a half as needed. Every now and then I have to take a whole one, like today...No therapy, because I just never knew about it until this forum. When it does come back into force again, (hoping it stays away), I will consider therapy. Thank you for the well wishes.
