Living in the present and actions to reduce anxiety
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Feb 4 11:02am | Replies (45)Comment receiving replies
Hello everyone! I suffered with anxiety for many years and I thank God that I have not been on many medications. I am currently on Pristiq 50 mg. I have to tell you that having a relationship with God has been the greatest help for me. Coming to know who God is that He is an awesome Father you can talk to 24/7. He is there to help us in our time of need. Reading the bible, having close fellowship with other believers who will support you and give you encouragement! Learning to trust Him and knowing He has us in Whatever situation we face! If you do not know God I suggest you get to know Him for the awesome Father He is. Does it mean I won’t have anxiety at times, troubles, hardships etc. Not, it just means I will have a friend and Father to run to. Jesus suffered on the cross , so we too will suffer. All he wants is our hearts. Do you know where you will spend eternity?.

I thank you for your testimony. I had great faith until recently. It scares me that I have had doubts when I developed neuropathy and am no longer able to do the things I enjoyed. The depression has been terrible and has effected every part of my life. Some days are better than others, but today I have a lot of fear. God bless you and would appreciate your prayers for me.
