We’ve all got a role to play

6 Replies

So, I went to the doctor the other day, and was sent home due to having a fever. My chest was tight, I had a cough for a few days and I was pretty sure that I had Corona. What a kick of fear.. my head started spinning and I just gripped my steering wheel and grounded myself by asking, “what am I feeling?” And I described my physical and emotional feelings. Making a mental inventory of what was going on stopped the panic instantly, but I was still scared. At this point, I asked, “what’s my role?” And my role is to be faithful and trust God. I said a prayer, lifted my arms signifying my releasing issues to Him because I couldn’t just dissect what every little thing meant.

I’m here 2 days later and feeling better and better. I’m not sure I really had a fever as the thermometer was likely not accurate (forehead reading thermometer). But the steps taken helped me non the less.

BTW those struggling with panic attacks or panic disorder, please read the panic attack workbook. It works wonders. Read a chapter a day so your mind and body has time to process the information.

God bless y’all and keep your chin up in these uncertain times.

I agree. Social media has been so negative and was bringing me down. Praying for you and your family to be safe in this time.
