Am I going insane ?

The question we dare not ask but often wonder about

In my book we touch on many subjects related to emotional pains. One that is always asked when counseling people is this - " Am I going Insane ?"  Will I end up in the hospital or rocking in some corner with saliva running down my check?  Its a question we all have if you have ever been in the place of major anxiety and panic attacks. Just recently I was meeting with a gentlemen who was very successful, great job, family , and all the perks. He was completely fine and living life as he thought he should. Then one day the stress and concerns of life overtook him and snap - it happens. Panic, sweating, cant breath, passing out, thinking that your having a heart attack. Then when you go to all the doctors and have all the physical test and they come back normal you have to face the fact that - something is wrong and it scares you. It scares you because its something you never had to deal with before.

 Its not a cold , flue or a broken limb its a ailment that you cant put a band-aid on. All of a sudden you become frightened because you don't know what to do. Crazy thoughts start going through you mind. Fear grips you as you think of how you will function. How will I make it when all of a sudden fear is now controlling me. No one seems to know what the answer is and even prayer doesn't seem to work. You are in the grips of SBA which means- Situation based anxiety. You wonder if you will ever be OK again. You wonder if they will have to put you away in some mental ward .

 This is not what you ever imagined and you are truly at a loss. Dear friend if this is you fear not - this type of Anxiety is happening more and more each day. Regular normal people are falling prey to life pressures that they were never prepared for. Fear not but know that they will pass, you will be OK again and the sun will shine ( BUT ) you must take the proper steps before you slip into something far worse. In my book ( depression anxiety and the child of God ) we go deep into this type of anxiety along with many many many others , plus the depression that often follows if it isn't quickly brought under control.  

If this is something like your going through: then please share your story with us and stay tuned as we find the real answers that are just waiting for you .
