Please pray for my ocd, phobias, and panic attacks. They have been out of control. Last night I had attacks in my sleep and the phobia was in my mind nagging at me. I have trouble enough sleeping as it is. I know stress is a factor. The doctor has warn me to watch things because it affects my blood pressure. I remember growing up my great-grandmother would have panic attacks because of worry. She always just said she was having a spell with her heart. It was happened when she was really upset and worried about something. She didn't pass away until after I married. Remembering this brought to my attention, my medical and mental problems are inherited from both sides of my family not just my mother's.
The ocd makes me feel like I am cramming for a test and I read and re-read information especially stuff I have phobias about saying in my mind I am just trying to conquer it. Instead I am just feeding the ocd. I know I have nothing to be afraid of, but I read things again and again double-checking. I know my Creator is in control of everything. I have to trust Him completely. I am totally stressed-out.

I pray for God's blessings for you. My mom had anxiety too. You don't notice as a kid, but then look back and think oh yeahhhh! Unfortunately I think I inherited that. My panic attacks did not start until I left home at 23 in 1996, and didn't reoccur until 1998 when I was in MN. Now? It's bad. I can't deal without medication. I took Klonopin for a while and I'm on Xanax now.

My husband reminded me that our grandparents called the panic attacks "the vapors". Thanks for the reply. I am taking elavil. I go for a check-up in a couple weeks. My family is worried about the attacks making my blood pressure go up and weakening my heart. The doctor told my mom that anxiety isn't good for your heart. I don't want to have these problems. I am listening to the bible on CD when I lay down to help keep my mind busy. I have, also, started writing down my thoughts in prayer letters. I used to do it all the time and stopped. Don't know why.
