Panic Attacks Support Group

There is a young child in a cancer ward right now that is REALLY dying and does not know why, and you are sitting around feeling sorry for a condition that can be healed with HARD WORK, I mean HARD WORK, therapy and sharing how you feel with others are a great start. But to sit around and feel like you are cursed by God is complete BS, every time you want to play into your irrational fears think about the real fears faced by little kids in a hospital whose parents do no even visit because it "upsets" them, think of soldiers who have had all their friends killed and they are next but are being used a hostage to have more of there kind executed. Also get into fitness, it does work and is healing me and know who God is, Phil 4:13 "All things are possible through Christ Jesus who strengthens me". It does not say that you "maybe" can accomplish a hard task and that God will make you weak, it says anything is "POSSIBLE" if you believe and will sweat and shake and go through the panic and let it beat you up enough to the point it does not bother you.

See this is why I can't have many friends in my place because nobody understood my condition.

It is useless to waste my time to explain because I am not guilty because I have anxiety.

You better pray God my friend that you never experience same because if you do I can't believe you will criticized me,you us....

I do not feel I am cursed by God because I know that stress in my life cause my condition.I understood what are you saying and it upset me so much because I am unable to help those kids.They wasting so much money on BS and not in cure for cancer even I know they hide truth.

They know how to cure cancer but if they release information how PI will make billions of dollars.

I just cut friendship with one of my friends because he was telling me his stupid theory same like I am idiot.He thinks he can cure me and help me and he does not realized how to talk with person who have anxiety.I do not need criticized shit from people because nobody know till experience.

I appreciate your time and wish to help......

Thanks God for wonderful forum and friends that I found here,they are always beside to support and listen,when I am happy and when I cry.

They are ONLY ONES beside my family who understood what and how I feel.I promise myself I will never let anyone upset me so much to cause me panic attack.They are not worth!Same like my 'FRIENDS".

I do not need to explain my condition to anyone!!!!!!

Nobody know what I went trough in my life nor other people.

You telling about war,I know because...my friend head was found 10 days after,other was pick up in basket(just his peace of body),many kids was put in oven,many with sliced trout,many without head or under dead grandpa arm,many brutally killed because of nationality...stupid,stupid war.

They destroy my best years of life,they use my youth,my heart,my soul,my "life" and there is no medications or fitness that can cure many wounds in my heart.I was just 22 years old,my husband 24 and my son month and a half.

We was lucky to be alive because Angels watch over us but many people was not that lucky and I wish to forget past and remember them before war in happy years but I can't because I know what does say on head stones in cemetery:

Born 1969

Die 1991

God Bless all the kids in this planet!

God Help all the sick kids please in Jesus name and wipe all their pain and tears!

real fears faced by little kids in a hospital whose parents do no even visit because it "upsets" them,

You call them parents??????

May God give their soul Salvation!

And yes God is answer to all my fear,depression,PTSD,anxiety and Bless His name forever!

Because of Him I am still alive even I was ready to die 22 years ago.

He save me and now I need to save my own soul because of sin I commit long time ago by trying suicide.

Amin!

I do LIVE with this and if it upsets you I am sincerely sorry, I tried to keep the message short and direct. Someone always has it way worse and if you don't believe that than please do not respond. If you felt criticized it is because you know for a fact that you can do better. I do not have to share my story, but it seems that you wanna compare war stories and I don't know why. This is a support group, not a group where you are holding back words and thinking I do not deal with this, I just do not complain about it and tell someone how much worse I have it than them. All I wanted to do was try to wake people up with mild/med anxiety/panic/agro/Ptsd etc, I deal with all of that. I agree some people just will NEVER get it, you hear its all in your head, you are using it as an excuse and the truth is they do not understand how horrible it feels, but they also are not unique like everyone who suffers from this. Anyone with this condition that can even walk to their mail box or the store etc is a warrior in my opinion. Bottom line is if you do not work hard, you will not go any further than an angry response to the message boards. Everyone is supposed to come together as a team, not one person sharing war stories.

That is true, I am not here to compete on which one of us here is sicker, hurting more or worse off. We all have our own pains, dissappointments and suffer through illness on many different levels. We are here to give support when we can and receive it when we need it. It's about accepting and respecting one another. But we must remember, chronic pain and suffering can cause you to give up hope, get angry and at times lash out, at others. I don't Believe, anyone intentionally sets out to hurt someone here. I had surgery Friday, it was the most horrible experience I ever had in my life. But I made it through it, and slowly recovering. One thing to remember is, we may all have similarities, and share the same illness,but no one knows what anyone is going through or feeling, unless we walk in their shoes. Some of us are lucky and have family & friends who support us, others do not. Let's stop judging and never minimizes what a member is going through. I am thankful each day I wake up, and am full of hope, its very rare, that I personally allow the opinions of others to affect me in a negative way.

I think suffering is suffering. Only the person that is suffering knows how it feels. I can not look at someone and say hmmm he is suffering more than that person over there because I do not truly know what and how that person is suffering unless I were that person. Only God knows how much we are suffering and he is the only one that knows how we truly feel besides ourselves.

I know and have seen people on here and in real life suffer with all different types of things. I feel sorry for each and every one of them. I think this is a place to vent and tell our problems and try and get support. That is the whole purpose of this forum. It is not to say well hey you are not suffering as much as this person so quit feeling sorry for yourself. Nope that is not for us to judge or be able to say. Only God can and is allowed to do that.

My heart goes out to each and every one on this forum and to all the people I know that are suffering in real life in different ways.

I agree Amy I have cancer and panic and one is not worse than the other one can kill me one can't but hey big affect my life in a very powerful way one is not worse than the other (well that's a lie I often hate that I have panic attacks while getting sicker, I can deal with my illness that's killing me better than the thoughts that come along with panic)

Dear Boston,please do not apology because you didn't criticized me or us,you try to open our eyes but I make wrong impression that you do not understood this condition.

I OWN YOU APOLOGY for being hard via responding to your post,please accept my apology because I do not think by head first I always think with my heart first and this is not good.I am 42 and I still didn't learn how to be calm.My anxiety cause me to explode fast but does not mean I don't like somebody.I just simply can not control myself and sorry for that!

I can not be rational anymore and think straight anymore.

I am so so sorry,please forgive me ((((((( Sharing war story for me is ok because I am letting my pain go away and because I have no one to told I make mistake and wrote here,so forgive me.I want all of you to ask to forgive me if you can...????

This is not place to wrote those story and I make mistake.

Sorry,so sorry Lee to hear about your cancer...(((((((

So sorry Phil for your pain and surgery(((((((

Boston and all my friends please respond to my letter because I am sorry to cause you all so much trouble! ((((((((((

Love Slada

As everyone else who responded to this has said, we are all here because we are all suffering in different ways. When I post something on the board or in my diary I know I will get either 1) no response (rare!), 2)an empathetic or constructive response, or 3)a response that has nothing to do with what I just posted but a response that was obviously triggered by whatever the person read in my post; something that struck a chord in the person's thoughts and feelings. When #3 happens, I do not think of it as comparing war stories or playing "can you top this." A response like #3 tells me that that person needs to vent. I think we all agree that venting, talking, posting, even ranting is therapeutic. If a response to my post turns out to not be what I was looking for, it means to me that that person has issues that he/she REALLY needs to get out there and he/she simply chose to click on the Reply button of my last post to get them out there. And I read every word of that response because everyone's post here is important. I may not always know how to respond myself, but I do read them and sometimes I just sit back and wait to see how a leader responds. I really hope we are all squared away here now on this matter. Stuff like this occasionally happens on this site, and it's a time to prove to ourselves how we can work as a true "support" group and do just that.... support one another.

I was never angry with you, you are more than forgiven because I was never mad I have had plenty of days were I let my anxiety take control and face to face with loved ones take it out on them verbally, I know sometimes we just explode. I think this turned about to be a great thing and not a war or words. Lets stick to the goal plain and simple "SUPPORT" each other, if a woman has cancer remind her she is in our prayer or thoughts for those who are not religious, and the same for Phil with her surgery, anyone who has been through it knows just the mental prep. is pure pain. Amy responded In my personal opinion how I feel everyone should and that is by being understanding with and open mind but not getting walked on in the process either, and I can understand the 3 different phases that the last poster presented. Every get well, one moment at a time.

Hugs for everyone!
