Most of you do not know about my past so this will be new for you. I felt led to share it this morning, I will trust that someone needs to hear it. Almost 7 years ago my fiance, now my husband, said the most powerful sentence I had ever heard and would eventually change the course of my life. I had been suffering from panic attacks on and off for years. At this particular time I was in the most intense struggle I had ever had. And I was so desperate to be free. Unless you have had a panic attack there is absolutely no way that you can imagine the desperation, the sheer terror, the dipilitating nature of it. Imagine how you would feel if a young child ran in front of your car on a rainy day and you were going 60 miles per hour and knew that there was no way you could stop in time. Imagine what those 2 seconds would be like. That is what a panic attack feels like and it can last hours. That will help you understand a little bit better. Anyway, after years of trying to free myself from this horrible thing, I heard one sentence comes from the lips of my husband. And it changed the way I look at everything. Here is the sentence: Who lied to you and told you you have no control over anxiety ? Honestly, the idea that I had control over it was not something that had never crossed my mind. I truly felt like a victim of something bigger than me. Been sentenced open a journey that lasted eight months long. During those eight months I learned how to control anxiety. Because I realized that I could train my mind, I can either allow it or not. Dont get me wrong, this is all Gods work. All of it. It is extremely hard to do and requires a lot of faith and determination and the desire to not be a victim but I am living proof that it is very possible. Im believing that someone needed to hear that today, but Im also offering the time to answer questions from anyone else who wants to hear the journey that I took to be free. I have not had a panic attack since about 3 months after hearing that sentence. Ive been free for over 6 years! Not 1 panic attack. I can still feel anxiety coming on, but I now have the tools to stop it before it takes control. We are not victims to this monster that makes itself seems so much bigger than it actually is. It is so much more than you know. Its a trick, an illusion... Its absolutely real, but the power it holds is an illusion.I
