Hi

I'm back again because I don't think I'm ever going to get better. My anxiety is at an all time high. I can't go any where because as soon as I do I feel like I can't breathe. In the car is a nightmare, I have to talk to myself to try and rationalise what is happening to me. I've been the docs but there is a six months waiting list for psychological help and I've had enough. I'm at a crucial time in my life, professionally and I'm frightened I won't be able to complete what needs doing. My whole familyis suffering. I am so low right now, please tell me it will get better and that you too have been through this. My back is so sore from the over breathing and I tremble from within, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've tried breathing exercises but this makes it worsde because the more I focus on my breathing the worse it gets. I can't eat anything without bloating which makes my breathing even worse. I am in nightmare that I can't wake up from!!

Hi Maddie.... I am a Christian and I was very familar with the power of of fear in my life for many years. The Bible says that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but He has for you, power, and love and a sound mind. God has those things in store for you if you will turn to Him. Remember the three things... Power to change, Gods love that contains peace, and a stable, steady, still (quiet) mind. All of these things are yours if you seek God through His Son Jesus Christ. I know because it has already has happened for me. He brought me out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Now I have peace in the place of fear and anxiety.
Thanks for hearing me out........ Randy

While waiting for your psychologist, you could ask a doctor to prescripbe ativan which helps with the breathing. Good luck

Hi Maddie.... Have you ever asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and asked Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit? That is what it really means to be a Christian. Even then it is more than asking Him to deliver you from anxiety, it is having a personal relationship with God on a daily basis, then studying daily to find out who Jesus really is. If you will seek scriptural truth, that truth that you learn will make you free. Jesus loves you so very, very much. Thanks.... Randy
