I am just trying to calm down after this event and needing some prayer. I’ve been around this community for a while and I know there are many prayer warriors. Just me getting this off my chest and on “paper” so to speak will help clear my head and calm me down.
The background on this all is my neighbor’s garage burned down spectacularly yesterday evening and caused me to be uneasy. They are right across the street and took many firefighters to put out.
Well, the main issue I’ve been referencing happened while I was sleeping and felt like a demonic attack. I woke up to chocking on bile and tried to take a breath but it went to my stomach instead. After gaging for a moment, I swallowed and got my epoglottis under control. It really felt like my epoglottis was in the wrong position for a moment and cause me to wake up without air in a panic. I didn’t feel like my throat was swollen before going to bed but it is definitely now. Just seems like tonsils and the lymph nodes below my jaw. I also ended up burping a ton as it seems I had air in my stomach from the initial panic, can’t breath moment.
I could use prayer and any insight into this issue, it’s happened one other time about a year ago. It also felt like a spiritual attack since I am standing for Trump, Q, and the 1 Billion Soul harvest coming. God has also given me many dreams and visions about these coming days and this vision of sickness being healed in Jesus’ name for everyone in the room. Like regardless of what was wrong, every single sickness or thing wrong with our bodies was all healed in the same moment. We were just worshiping God and it flowed out in that moment.
I know I am not alone in this but just asking for help, thanks
I’m praying for you, friend.
I’m not a doctor but it sounds like a panic attack to me. The burning down of your neighbor’s garage making you uneasy only reinforces my belief that that’s what you’re dealing with. The rest of what you’ve said is equally heavy stuff. It could be that you’re under way too much stress at the moment.
Two weeks ago I went through something similar. After scrubbing my deck, I developed hives/an allergic reaction. The itching was driving me crazy and keeping me on edge. A day or two after the itching started, I felt like my throat was closing off and I couldn’t breathe. Came this close to going to the ER but it finally eased off.
I completely understand what you mean by it feeling like a spiritual attack. It can feel the same way to me at times, though I have panic and anxiety attacks way more often that you’ve said you do.
On one hand, I don’t want you to ignore something that may be something more than a panic attack. On the other hand, one big rule of thumb is to practice slow breathing in the moment to try to calm yourself down. Pay close attention and assess if it only FEELS like you can’t breathe, or if you truly, actually can’t breathe. If you’re actually breathing okay and nothing seems urgent, give yourself some time to work on relaxing your mind and body. Be gentle with yourself and understanding. Accept the panic, don’t fight it.
Other things to try in the moment: talk. If you can talk, you can breathe. Walk around. If moving around makes you feel a little better, it is more than likely a panic or anxiety attack. Find a “panic come down” video on YouTube. These can help a lot. It’s calm, slow talking that helps you slow down, breathe slowly and fully, and realize that you can get through this.
If you want to talk more about this I’m more than willing. I’ve dealt with panic and anxiety for almost my entire life, since I was a very young child.
Maybe a post on this. How is everyone coping in light of world events, earth events? Frens with your experience of panic disorders have a lot to offer.
I agree, We need some full posts like this, and other struggles people are dealing with.
Yes, I had it for years and didn’t realize I had panic attacks, no one told me that is what it was. I also internalized it and it came out as high anxiety about my health and fear of dying. I pray in Jesus’ name all fear be gone
Luckily my mind broke long ago, now I embrace the chaos
Yeah, likely all this was going on. I’ve had a lot of kid health issues I’ve had to deal with and it’s hard being in the hospital with your kids and them not feeling well. Just mainly 2 week old really really sick and daughter was in the hospital that same year and 2 years prior and a few years before that at birth. I did have a panic attack after and had to pray and writing this post helped enough that I could go to sleep
Oh, I’m so sorry. I sincerely hope they’re both doing better now and am praying for them too. That’s definitely not easy to go through. Sounds like you need to take some time for yourself to try to heal your mind and soul and recharge.
