Hi Henna, Thanks for your response, I agree with everything you said and am pleased to see that I'm not alone! I always try to see both sides of things before forming my opinion but as you said and as I have found religious people are some of the most judgemental people I've ever come across. Thanks for your comments, I found it very reasurring. :)

Henna, Your friends' clergyman father couldn't have put it more eloquently. Being a humanitarian is always of giving and never of receiving. Della from SC

Lea, Just looking through some older posts and felt I had to reply. I so agree with your response to the suggestion that belief in Christ is the only solution to our problems. To do so is to exclude non-believers (and followers of other faiths come to that) from any hope of ending their pain €“ the last thing we need on a site like this! It€™s something I feel very strongly about as, like you, I carry baggage. I was brought up in a strict Christian (Protestant) household and spent much of my childhood in church. I was taught €˜to love my neighbour,€™ to forgive, €˜to do unto others etc.,€™ yet as I grew older I saw little evidence of this being practiced, rather the opposite, the so-called Christians being some of the most judgemental, intolerant and unforgiving people I€™ve ever met. So too, alas, a lot of the ones I€™ve met since, including a couple of friends who, independantly, found God (after a heavy spell with drugs) and overnight became holier than thou. I once asked a friend€™s father, a clergyman, why so many so-called Christians behave in such an uncharitable way. He thought for a moment and said, €œBeing a Christian means only that you believe in Christ. Being a humanitarian means you follow his teachings.€ I€™ve never forgotten his words. Humanity and compassion are indeed what€™s important, regardless of beliefs. Glad to see many of you feel the same way. Henna

I never understood panic attacks. I struggled with them because Iam a big strong guy and consequently felt that only sissy men got them. Then one day I read where it is only natural to panic if your life gets too uncertain(you dont know where your going, fear of shame etc).For example, most people I know would get antsy at being in an airport and have their flight delayed. I think people who suffer from panic attacks have their plane delayed i.e., their personal dreams,delayed everyday. Once we can over come our demons and crutches our plane comes in and the attacks go away. I used to get 10-15 attacks a day, I have had about 3 in the last 6 years."Brain Lock helped me get over OCD and "Self COACHING" has helped with anxiety and depression.

I have often felt like a failure in my faith because of my panic and depression, but I have read enought to know that anyone with a belief in God can also have panic, depression obsessive thoughts and social phobia. It is harder though when you believe that your faith should get you through it and it does not. I have come to the conclusion that it is a physical reaction to the stresses of life, and maybe inherited chemistry of the brain, and although faith can help you from killing yourself, it is not always enough, or perhaps depending on the situation faith has helped people cope with their problems, not take them away completely. That will not happen until God's time.

Hi Theem9 I wasn't offended by anything said, I was only offering my point of view and experiences on religion, others have offered there opinion but just because I'm not for it doesn't make my opinion any less valuable. Through doing that I had some helpful insight offered by Della. Like she said treat others as you would wish to be treated. How do we learn if we don't share our various point of views etc. I have nothing against religios people, in my opinion if a fellow sufferer can find something to help them and that is religion then good on them I think thats fantastic..but it isn't for everyone, that was my point (I was also carrying personal baggage on the subject!). I certainly didn't take any of the comments as fighting or anything. Like theem9 said we are here to help each other and through me expressing my point of view, Della was able to offer me a different way to look at the situation with my ex friend and that was very helpful in assisting me to get a bit more clarity on that situation and move closer to getting some closure on the situation. Not offended here!!

Hey, guys, I was reading your posts and it seems though you might have been offended by some of the things that were said. We all have to realize that we have one common thing-anxiety and panic. Even though our faith may not be the same.I feel like we should try and stick together and help each other . I guess I don't like discord. Forgive me if I upset anybody. theem9
