Pills, therapy, …
Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.
In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
God’s healing power is ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear limits you.
FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!
God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…

yeah…vid is on point. up until 6th grade or so i was popular, hung out with people all the time, went out with girls, etc but when i started getting bad anxiety i couldn’t socialize at all anymore. i think everyone who has bad anxiety like this would have great social lives if it wasn’t for this reaction we get around people. cant stand it when people say its because of a lack of social skills…

I found this video to be really helpful and it made me feel much better actually. I’ve been one of those SA suffers who try to copy other people’s good social skills, it hasn’t worked too well! I guess, it’s because i’m trying to be someone else, and can’t pull it off. Anyway, thanks again for this blog : )
