Unvaccinated. She’s been diagnosed with high blood pressure and AAA. The AAA is tiny but it freaks us all out. She’s trying hard to lower her blood pressure through medicine and diet but she’s getting so anxious over it that it’s not coming down quickly enough for her. She’s been on a low dose for 3 weeks now.
She’s my best friend and I’m doing all I can to help her but I hate seeing her constantly stressed and worried.
Please pray for her health and calmness, and for her upcoming doctor appointment to go well. And if she has to get blood drawn please pray that there is nothing bad in the results. We don’t go to doctors much so it’s scary all around.
She’s a prayer warrior and has been busting her butt trying to redpill anyone she can.
Thank you, frens. I love you all.
Thank you so much for the wonderful prayer, kindness, and advice.
Her BP skyrockets at the doctor too. She’s tried reading and thinking of other things and just trying to get her mind off of it but her anxiety makes it so difficult. I’m the same way. It’s so tough, especially when you’re in an environment that you hate lol
You're welcome. I had anxiety once for about 3 years after having miscarried 2 children at the age of 21. I lost one in February and the other in December of 1981 which threw me into anxiety, panic attacks and depression. It is something I would not wish on my 'worst enemy.' However after 3 years its was as God told me, "I was me once; and I will be me again. I do on occasion have a rare anxiety attack, but now I know it for what it is and can 'nip it in the bud' so to speak before I ever take myself back to that period in my life. So now when I feel it coming on, I take some deep breaths and slow my breathing down; yes I used to hyperventilate with anxiety, and then I go find something to do or I simply look around the room I'm in and concentrate on what is there. This may not work for everyone, but it sure works for me. Again, I pray that God heals your mother and helps her rid herself of these anxiety attacks. Once she controls these; I believe she will do better at controlling her BP. God bless you both.
I am so, so sorry for what you had to go through. I'm glad you're doing better though.
My anxiety has been with me since I was very young. My first memory is of an anxiety attack. I've tried every trick in the book and none of them work for me. At least not long term. If anything, I've learned to do my best to cope with it but that's about it.
Thank you again for all of your kind words and help and prayers. God bless you as well. You're a wonderful person.
I will pray for your anxiety. I feel for you and what you are going through. It is a terrifying experience. I feel that God will heal you from it.
