I just had a terrible panic attack it lasted an hour. In tears I called our local church and spoke to one of the sister's there I wanted to ask them if they would pray for me to get better and function and take care of my son, I explained about the medicine not helping only causing side effects and therapy not working out, the sister said "to this kind of problem prayer is not the answer" I don't understand!! What did she mean by that? Prayer is all that I have, she said to "talk to someone" perhaps she did not understand, it just broke me, prayer is SO important to me, maybe I should not have called I just so wanted someone to tell me it was going to be alright, I do not blame or fault the sister of course, panic disorder is very hard to understand, I called for prayers, but if prayer is not the answer what is? I really do not have anyone to talk to, everyone's response to this is to avoid me or shun me they all want "the old Debbie back" the panic attacks on a daily basis is sending me into a deep depression, panic, cry, panic, cry .... I have to believe in my heart prayer IS the answer, I am just hoping the nun did not understand me. I just so want my life back. I wish I knew that answer. I do not know how much longer I can live and function like this, my nurse and therapist cannot help me it seems. I have to keep believing God will help me and prayer IS the answer. Debbie.
