Nomi,
I first experienced anxiety when my first child was born. I was watching a program about a baby that had adverse affects from a vaccination shot. I was already anxious because I had this new little life, but that program sent me over the edge. I knew that I had to give the shots again when she was 2 month, 4 months, 6 months and 15 months. I was paralyzed with fear.
I barely remember the first two years of her life. I read and meditated on scriptures. My hair was falling. My husband would come home and I would be crying. He did not know what to do. He tried taking me on a week end trip. I just went through the motions. I prayed, "Lord, when they give my baby the shots, I pray that she does not even cry much less have a bad side affect." Well, the nurses were amazed because my baby did not cry. She did not run fever are anything.
After the "baby shot" ordeal, I began worrying about all kinds of things. My mind was consumed with anxiety.Finally, someone I trusted talked me into taking an anti depressant. I did (prozac) and it worked for ten years.
This summer I experienced the worse anxiety ever. This time, I could not just go through the routines. This time, I could not function. I could not pay bills, cook, or anything else. I I would do was pace and cry. Then I experienced akathisia. OMG! I would not wish that on the worst dictator there ever was!I couldn't imagine going through that type of anxiety for three years.
I suppose this is why I have such a "burden" for you. I know that God will bring you through! He will! The scriptures say that if I ask anything in Jesus' Name, I shall receive.
It also says that if two of you agree as touching anything on earth it shall be done unto you.
If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can say to that mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea.
God's promises come by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
When I was going through the most horrible anxiety, I got a cd with these scriptures on it and I would listen and listen and listen and listen to it. I would go to sleep with the scriptures on. I believe that even when we are sleeping, our spirit can still receive the scriptures.
In His love,
Rachel/lynn
