Title: My Social Anxiety
Post by: Porter on March 28, 2016, 07:35:02 AM
This is pretty pathetic, but I have a deathly fear of being out in public, so I do not go to public places at all. I've always been this way since I was a teenager and it's only gotten worse.

The reason I bring this up is because my daughter is graduating in may and I will most likely not make it. It's so painful to think I might let her down. I've expressed this to her and told her I'd rather die then to have to make the decision not to go.

Otherwise if it be possible, ask God to give me strength so I can make it to my baby girls graduation. If it is God's will that I do not make it I'm fine with that. It's just the thought of letting my daughter down that gets to me.

Hi porter,

When I got diagnosed with schizophrenia and I got released from hospital,I had somewhat of the same condition but yours seems like it is worse.I know what I had was more of paranoia because your mind plays tricks you,it causes you to always be suspicious and think that EVERY SINGEL thing is a conspiracy.Ask the Lord for the strength,friend.You'll overcome it in the Lord.

Ask and do not doubt!

Hi Porter, I have had the same thing happen to me. Anxiety and panic attacts. I know God is able to bring you through this and heal your mind from all fear. I pray that God's will be done. May God smile upon you and give you peace through it all.

Hi Porter, this came to my mind when I read your post, the protection of the Lord for you.

My Refuge and My Fortress

Psa 91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa 91:2  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Psa 91:3  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Psa 91:4  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psa 91:5  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Psa 91:6  Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Psa 91:7  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Psa 91:8  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Psa 91:9  Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Psa 91:10  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Psa 91:11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Psa 91:12  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Psa 91:13  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Psa 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Psa 91:15  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
Psa 91:16  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

I am praying for you Porter

Michael
