My name is Nicole I reside in MN I am 27 y.o female and need prayer for emotional & mental healing. I truly belive in the
power of prayer & I really need your prayers. I have been suffering from severe and constant Anxiety, Panic Attacks &
most of all "Air Hunger" I have also been diagnosed with Delayed Post Tramatic Stress Disorder. My anxiety escalated in
May 2006. I have attened a partial hospital program and have been seeing a pastor for prayer counciling. I have tried
several medications which are not working. I am currently on Alprazalam, Kolonipin and Dr. just upped my dose to 30 mg
of Lexapro which my new doctor believes I am way to sedated. That is a very high dose considering I am 27 years old an
weight 120lbs. I am struggling with weaning off those benzos. I pray that the Lord guide me down the right path to
recovery. To find the root of this problem so I can deal with it. I come from a very dysfunctional home grew up as a child
witnessed and experience severe physical, mental, emotional abuse. This is effecting my marriage. my husband and I
have seperated many times and this is really effecting my family. it is trying to take over my life. I am feeling hopeless and
alone. I pray my faith remain strong and I continue to turn to the Lord for guidance and strength. My Dad whom is an
alcoholic and drug abuser recently called me he is in a drug rehab has been in and out for the past 30 years or more.
Seems like whenever he calls me or comes around my panic attacks and anxiety gets worse. I really thought I forgave
him but think it triggers some sort of fear of past memories. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
