Fear

Marlene, my post was insensitive to you. I must add it took me 30 years to get to this point and medication, therapy, and groups, and learning fear was a lie, since I despised liars I refused to listen to them and overlayed them with the truth of God. It is work but it is so worthwhile but you need others and you need to talk. I still take some medication, but nowhere like I used to. Judy

This is not my area of expertise but I would encourage along the same lines,

There is a good book and introduction to the subject by Daniel G Amen M.D. Yes that is his name. He discusses many nutritional, excercises and activities that help alter the proble.and he does discuss some other ways to treat and help disorder.

He recommends a SPECT study which looks at the various functioning areas of the brain, it identifies the area and can also help in diagnosing the cause.
The lay Book is Change your Brain Change Your Life.

Andrew I do not know if your therapy revolves around problems with the Cingilate system, like distraction strategies when you are stuck in a thought pattern , eating foods high in Carb pasta bread etc to increase you L trytophan levels that go into making seretonin and also physical exercise. There are also strategy things that the family members can do to break the pattern in the patient  like paradoxical questions or statement  or simply changing the subject with them.

This avoidance to therapy sounds no different than what happens in many other illnesses where people go into a state of denial (flight) rather than face the problem (fight). The Fear beast is so full of Lies

Hello everyone,
Id like to share from experience,fear,anxiety chemical imbalance and the things mentioned above.
   Without going into a long story Ill just say that there was a time that the only way that I could get through each day was to say," today I think I can kill myself." I was a walking dead man.
I tried psychiatrist and drugs and counseling and people in the church praying for me daily but it got worse.
I had a fear I cant describe and it all started from one incident that I wont go into.It didnt just happen over night either.
  No where could I find a way to beat this.I started reading everything I could find about thought process and I started thinking about natural laws and negative and positive.
Lets call Positive,of God and negative of Satan. We know from the way a car battery works that these two together in the right order has a good purpose but if you connect the wires wrong or they touch each other that theres an explosion. There has to be an order to this positive and negative thing.Light and dark,hot and cold and so on.
When we have a negative thought its like barely touching two electrical wires together,it sparks and burns the end of the wires.Do it long enough and well need I say more?
Negative thoughts will come and will become habit that causes stress and the list goes on.Before you know it you get this so called chemical imbalance.
When Jesus said not to worry( Satan )  which is the opposite of faith,(Positive) He knew what He was talking about.Its unhealthy.
To shorten this. Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.Everywhere we look negative is there but we dont have to dwell on it, as it is part of life and learning. Dwell on it with one little thought of it and you will cause a spark.If you dwell on it then you will receive it.Positive is always the strong part of this natural law.
Choose a Die Hard, you cant go wrong.Stay positive starting with one thought at a time and before you know it positive becomes the habit. Incident=thought=reaction.  Change thought to positive.Its a simple formula. Positive is God, Negative is of Satan.
This is natural law and forces in motion. Try to go against this and there will be consequences one way or the other. Meds simply slow down the consequences just like jumping out of an airplane with a parachute. You cant escape the fall just because its slower.
Peace and love
Roy Martin

Deborah-Leigh:
Fear is part of the carnal mind that is only overcome by the Spirit of God.

I sought the Lord, and He answered me: He delivered me from all my fears Psalm 34 : 4

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose Word I praise, in God I trust: I will not be afraid. Psalm 56 : 3-4

It is human to fear. David writes "when I am afraid....I will not be afraid."  Is that a contradiction? No. Something has had to have happened in between to bring David out of his fear. That something is the Spirit of God. 

God appoints to each one of us an experience of a false sense of security and belief that we are in control and have free will. It is only by His Spirit that the Truth is revealed and through His Goodness  we are changed to conform with the Spirit of His Son who has overcome the World, and  heals our Spiritual blindness.
