Are you suffering from Anxiety, depression, panic
attacks, PTSD? I was and it was caused by the Board members in AV and the City, but The Lord has healed me and this is what I did to help myself, with Gods
guidance. I went to the ER twice thinking I was dying and that I couldn’t
breathe. I was getting enough oxygen, in fact, when I asked the nurse she
said,” Sweetie you couldn’t get more oxygen if you tried”. Lol I was like well
I feel like I cannot breathe, but I was breathing, but I was breathing from my
chest instead of from your abdomen, (nobody told me
that in the ER ) and that made my lungs feel tight. I thought I was
having a heart attack (I had chest
pain). It was gas drank some water and began to burp. Lol I was
concentrating on my breathing, and my heart I was afraid to let it beat too
fast. I had bronchitis, PTSD, severe anxiety and panic attacks that seemed to go
on one after another. Don’t be afraid to talk to a counselor I recommend a
Christian counselor. I am not a doctor, I am just a person who’s been badly
bruised and leaned on the Lord to heal me. If you are reading this I hope my
experience can help you to fight and to heal. God has set an end date to the
issue and what I realize is that he will deal with them in his own way. They
will be accountable in front of Jesus just as I will, so I can only do what is
right in Gods sight. I have also had Pastors with an altar of fire pray for me because it matters who prays for you.
I do not like medications for me personally. That is not only a decision you have
to make after speaking with your doctor, find out the side effects and I have tried them, I do not like
them. I was told at the ER you had a panic attack here is some Xanax follow up
with counselor. That left me upset, and no better. I didn’t want heavy
medication like Xanax they are highly addictive and how was being high supposed
to help (My thought)? I have
not taken medication in years although I did in the beginning and again my
thought was I’m high how does this help and my situation causing me torment was
still the same. I trusted the Lord to heal me while at first he only partially
healed me enough to not take medicines he finally said I was healed. Friend
there is an end-date to your struggles, God loves you just the way you are all
of your brokenness and you can manage this.
First get a
physical exam to rule out and medical conditions so you know you are not having
a heart attack and you are not dying. Stress can cause many things. Keep
walking, keep it moving if you can get used to the symptoms of panic (and there are over 100) and still keep
moving you can stop focusing on your breathing and/or your physical body. I
read of a heart doctor who told a patient after a heart attack healthy heart is
a beating heart. Our hearts are made to have a rapid heartbeat at times, it
happens when we are moving a lot, eating, having anxious thoughts but most of
us do not recognize it, unless you have anxiety, then you recognize it. Ignore
it, don’t focus on it. Repeat this, “A healthy heart is a beating heart”.
Do an Intake-Why
am I anxious? Did I eat? Is it hormonal? Is my sleep disrupted? Have I drunk
enough water? You can have allergies with clogged ears and that can set off a
panic attack. I once had bronchitis and it was setting off panic attacks. Check
for an imbalance and see if you can fix it. Journal your anxious thoughts, then
you don’t have to think of them again once you write them down.
What are you
confessing? - This anxiety,
depression etc.… is not yours do
not claim my
anxiety instead say this
anxiety. Do not take ownership. We must always remember to speak life. Keep
confessing that you are healed even during a panic attack. Do not verbalize
your symptoms as if they are sticking around. Anxiety is a liar! It can cause you to have crazy thoughts,
thoughts that make you think you are crazy or going to go insane, but don’t
worry you are not-Crazy people don’t know they are crazy. Remember Satan is a
liar John 8:44
This anxiety will not be with us forever and we can and
will learn to manage it until the Lord heals us completely. Healing is a
promise to destroy every disease including mental illness, anxiety, depression,
panic attack, PTSD it is all included. Jesus paid the price for all of our sins;
he took them upon himself and crushed them all at the cross. These panic
attacks are actually a spiritual attack. We become frightened, and/or frozen we
cannot think straight and our patience becomes thin. When this happens we are
at war and at war our weapons become our words and our prayers. Sometimes all you can muster is a whisper,
but that is all you need. (Rachelle Bleakly)
Just Say JESUS!
Panic attacks stop quickly if you can get out of your
head. It was explained to me by a doctor that it’s like the ocean, once it gets
stirred up the waves come crashing in, over & over but if you calm the
waves they will slow down and eventually stop. Try to stop the panic in its
tracks, it helps. Get up move around,
wash the dishes, take a hot bath, take a walk; nobody will even know you are
having a panic attack because they are so focused on their own selves. Sometimes
your brain is going too fast so you cannot read, listen to the bible app watch
a TV sermon or a podcast on your phone. Same goes for depression move a muscle
change a thought.
I was angry-I hated the Board members and the City, I
couldn’t even bring myself to pray for them at first. Anger will eat you up on
the inside- It causes you to be anxious so FORGIVE. Forgiveness isn't about letting anyone get away with anything it's setting yourself free. What I did was allow the Lord to work in my life by doing it his way. I understand some situations you just don't feel it. Ask God to help you and he will. I’m grateful for
their disgusting behavior, because now I can be a light in someone else’s
darkness. God has blessed me for every horrible thing that the enemy has done
through these people and I am so in love with Jesus. The Lord makes your enemies
your footstool and here it is in this blog. Don’t get me wrong they aren’t
sorry, one iota, they were still try to attack my family, even as of last
month, but I now know who I am. Who I am in Christ, I am a child of the Most
High God. He is more powerful and is in control of my life. The Lord has
blocked the enemy from trying to destroy my life through these people and when
I move out from this neighborhood I will be grateful for ALL the Lord has done
in my life in-spite of them. It doesn’t mean what they did was acceptable or
that I want to hang out with them, It means I love myself and my Father enough
to let it go. It also means I pray for them, even though they aren’t sorry. I
keep giving it to him and he walks me through forgiveness.
Heat works to
relax you-Heating pads, hot baths, I have even used the heated seat in my
car. A heating pad on my chest worked wonders. Muscles get sore from being tense;
my upper chest used to feel like someone punched me.
For high anxiety
(not in the middle of a panic attack) Lie
on a bed or flat on your back it helps to watch your stomach rise and fall.
Breathe into your nose hold it and blow out through your mouth (pursed lips or whistling).
Breathing during a
panic attack or at the beginning when you are concentrating on your breathing. Speak this I
command my breathing to be normal, into my abdomen and not into my chest right
now in the name of Jesus Christ-Amen If you are having trouble
concentrating as long as you exhale more than you inhale you should stabilize
Co2 levels that cause dizziness and feeling of not being able to breathe (Don’t do it of
you have a heart condition).
Calmclinic.com has a bunch of breathing techniques that I
have used during a panic attack.
Take 15-20 minutes in a quiet place
1. Inhale count 5 heartbeats
2. Hold Breath, count 7 heartbeats
3. Exhale count 9 heartbeats
If you are suffering from PTSD-Every damaged cell in my body I command you to be repaired right now
in the name of Jesus Christ-Amen repeat, repeat repeat, in the car, shower, cleaning. Mumble it say it before bed and when you wake up.
Say it out-loud in a firm voice. Back-up Satan you are under my feet. Spirit of Anxiety, Fear, Panic, PTSD GET OUT NOW in the name of Jesus Christ; I am covered by the blood
of Christ. I have yelled it on my knees sobbing and
praying for God to help me so please do not feel stupid. Attacks are scary
until you learn how to fight.
