I had my first (remembered) panic attack when I was just 7 years old. And they got much worse by the time I was in my 20s. They were SOOO BAD, that I didnt want to be alive one more second. They were so bad I couldnt even swallow a drink of water let alone food. My Faith in God and that I had a Savior that I believed in with all my being is the ONLY reason I am here today. They didnt go away right away, but knowing Gods promises and giving my problem to Christ , I knew I was going in a better direction. I knew, there was no way they could get worse. God has healed me of this horrible disease. Im not saying I dont go through bad times, but When I feel anxiety rearing its ugly head, I tell the devil to take a hike (Always in Jesus name) because anxiety does NOT come from God !!! There is a simple name for anxiety, its called WORRY. Worry is a sin, because when we worry we are not trusting God. Back when I suffered the worst panic attacks, there was very little known about it, And what caused them. In fact I was never even diagnosed. I couldnt even find a book on what I was gong through. After a particular really bad time in my late 20s and early 30s, I finally sought help. And I went on a crusade to learn more about this devastating illness. I lost my best friend and Sister in law to this illness when I was suffering them myself. One thing I learned through all that, was I chose to trust God and had faith that it would get better. My precious and very loved sister in law put her faith in Doctors and medication and just a week after being released from the hospital she ended her life here on earth. I have decided that now is a perfect time to share this very private subject after the death of a beloved Actor to suicide. And facebook is very much public. But maybe I can help someone. I do KNOW there IS HOPE !!! I am a living example of a woman that had the worst panic attacks (and Im not talking about one hour, or one day of constant panic, Im talking about weeks) and not only survived, but am a very happy and well balanced woman today. You do not have to suffer, you are NOT being punished and there IS a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Seek help, you do NOT have to suffer alone. There are so many wonderful counselors out there today. I myself prefer a Christian counselor. (You do NOT have to be a believer to go to one either. They are not there to judge you) But, talk about your problem to anyone who cares enough to listen. Seek help, you dont have to suffer alone. You would be shocked to know how many suffer in silence. I found the worst panic attacks always seem to start when I was constiously
