Looking forward to meeting my new nieces!<br /><br />I wonder if, in a couple of years when you've got a bit more head space, you should write about your experience. Might be helpful for others. I'd like to hear your thoughts on how to help mind and body in this kind of thing.simone rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626356778188873309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-41085402621445304462014-04-10T17:16:38.879+10:002014-04-10T17:16:38.879+10:00Anita - thanks for posting this.

One thing I've thought about a bit since being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder is the physical nature of anxiety and what Scripture might say to that. I realised that my body had become so firmly in fight-or-flight mode that my thoughts were actually not the place to start in addressing my anxiety. My body came first in the causal nexus and relaxing my body was the place to start in dealing with anxious thoughts. As evangelicals we tend to say that the transformation of our minds is the place to start and I wonder how that applies in relation to anxiety.

Secondly, I like reading long posts, sometimes the teeny ones are not enough and even the medium ones leave you wanting more.<br /><br />I suffered panic attacks when I was 19 and it took me until I was 40 to be healed. Back in the 80s anxiety and panic were not really openly discussed and even the health professionals didn't know much about it. Various pastors wives or counselors I went to tried to cast out demons, or tell me to pray more, read more scripture, etc. They weren't really much help. When at 40 I discovered that my family were actually dysfunctional and I was abused as a child, I realised that my panic actually came from somewhere and I was able to deal with it before the Lord as well as in my own mind. It took a long time, but God has now brought me to a place of trust and knowing His assurance.<br /><br />So many christians suffer from anxiety and panic disorder and don't have to.<br /><br />Thanks for this post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231522518076187107noreply@blogger.com
