I have been going back and forth with this one for so long. I have anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. I have been living my own little living hell for a few years now. I have good days and so so days and BAD days. Right now it seems the bad ones are outweighing the good ones.
I talk to my angles and guides every day and ask for help but I can't deal with this daily any longer without some help.
I'm in therapy but I also have an appointment with my doc on the 8th to get on some anti depressants/anti anxiety meds. I hope to go on Lexapro.
My question is..... will I still be able to connect with my angels even if I'm taking something like that? I'm so terrified that that will shut the door.
Or I won't be as intuitive anymore.

I am not an expert. My hypno therapist felt that my meds relaxed me in a positive way. I no longer take them.
you have a valid concern. I'd say that it could be different for each individual. Ultimatly only you KNOW.
trust yourself.

Hi Seablue.
I have suffered what you're describing & I sympathise 100 percent, it can make life unbearable.
The good news is that what it takes to get rid of it is to re-program your brain in to a non-anxiety state.
I've found the most effective thing to be a system called the Linden Method, you should find it straight away on google texts. Also I've found listening to positive thinking cds really helpful, Louise L Hay's 100 power thoughts for life is great, as is her self esteem cd.
I'm praying for your recovery, it is an illness just the same as any other and you can recover from it.
Of course as Paul says you must trust yourself becausze only you can know what's best for your recovery. If you need any more advice feel free to pm me.
Love & Blessings, Lizzie xxx

Dear Sea
this must be so hard on you! The meds won't close any doors for your connection...honest....and if you work on that connection daily...as you do...it will still get stronger...It is working with that realm that is going to raise and heal you in the end....I say this because they have helped me to get off many meds....and also through help with hypnosis and regression I have found out why I suffer with some illness...bringing it into this one which is what we do......there are ways for you to work through this and you will heal these things...therapists in the more 'spiritual' sense will tap into these things that modern day Dr.s' do not.....I'm feeling reiki in my hands as I write this which is a sign to me that this will work to help you should you choose to find a Dr. who will tap into all the more 'new age' type of healings....and also tells me the words are guided...so, please think about it....meds are fine to take to help us....nothing wrong with that...but, it is even greater when we find the help to go deeper into our selves and heal the reasons 'why'.
You will get there hon....it will happen...just please don't put so much 'stress' into the problem...try to relax and let the process happen....anxiety is a hard hard way to live...just to get through one day is major...sending reiki to you if you wish...it will help....Raphael will help you too....SO much
let us know how it goes? praying for you dear...
Love Dee

I wish I could use or find a doc who also works in the spiritual sense but none of them take insurance and I simply can't afford anymore of those.
Believe me, I have done everything. I have done past life regression (hypnotherapy), massage therapy with added resonance repatterning, and other things. I also listen to relaxation tapes and meditation and those help at the moment but the calmness doesn't last. Not to po-poo anyone... but unless you've had anxiety and panic attacks, it's really hard to see that trying to just calm the mind just doesn't work. It's just too strong. I'm by no means giving up.
I do reiki on myself often. I'm constantly asking for Raphael's help - I think he knows me so well now - LOL.
I've started doing yoga at home and love it. Again, it calms me down somewhat while I'm doing it but once I'm done, the anxiety comes back. But I'm waking up nice and limber - no more working out the kinks - so I love yoga.
I'll be going on the meds in a couple of weeks when I get in for my appointment. It's not something I want to do but I think for my own sanity, I need to. I don't see it as a LONG term thing either. But in order to cope with daily life, I'm going to have to do something to help me. Thanks for the opinions and help and keep me in your thoughts. I see a rough patch coming up but maybe it will make me a stronger person.

Please put both your hands on the screen when you read the following message! The Reiki I felt for you was too strong and I prayed to your Spirit Guides and Angels with the help of my Spirit Guides and Angels...(I hope I make sense to you..)
Hi Seablue,
My heart over whelmes reading your messages...sometimes I wonder why life has to be so difficult for the good ones.... I hope you have some good friends to help you thru your rough days. I know for a fact that yoga is the best for mind and soul. Work on your breathing - I'm sure you do it all. The meds will help you for a while to get back some lost time... but eventually you will have to be the one to help yourself. Plan your days.... make the most of your good days....make the worse day better by mentally preparing yourself for the challenge ahead of time. Your Reiki will help you thru your journey and challenges - pls donot give up hope - WE (your Angels) are right next to you...by your side helping your thru...trust and believe...your faith will help you with your life's journey... your struggle and challenges keeps you closer to the LORD....your hopes and beliefs makes/keeps you going. Life is a journey we pre decide to take ....NOW is difficult to take...WE(spirit guides)are always by your side...breath in and out and feel our presense my child...WE ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU!!!!
Seablue I hope all this makes sense... I just typed what my mind kept saying... my hands are tingling and my eyes are tearing up.... I'm sending you some strong Reiki NOW...
Excuse the mistakes if any...my mind tells me not to recheck the green typing... I know its meant for you...
love, light, blessing, hope, positive goodness my Child....

Sea,,,,,,,,are you meditating? It is of utmost importance to go within....to connect to the Divine..and listen to what God/angels/guides are trying to tell and show you......they will give you visions...etc........pray to God and meditation is for 'listening' to God....it wasn't until I did daily meditation that I finally 'got' it...and my life changed....find the cd's to bring you to that state....we all have to work through the mind chatter as it will try to keep you in 'its' focus...ego's focus.....if you do this it will help you?
listen to lavender....the reiki is flowing from me as well......allow it flow through you and thank that spirit for helping you.......dee

Seablue,
I know how you feel...I take an antidepressant ; my goal was to go off it, but I know that I need it...that is how my brain is wired...There's nothing wrong with me, but I suffered for years in depression with my then husband telling me to "snap out of it." My father ...now 82...also suffers from mild depression...He is a farmer so the outside is his therapy..I am better now that I am out of teaching, but it's still an issue. So, the angels will understand and still communicate with you.. I've only begun this "angel therapy" as of two weeks ago, and I'm amazed at what has opened up for me.
We're with you.
Peace

| Seablue, Just a thought...I've been hearing a lot lately about Vitamin D...helps depression and many other things...the new"miracle drug." I began taking it, and it does help..Most people are vitamin D deficient. I take D3 1000 units otc from the pharmacy. It's worth a try.

| Seablue I know exactly how you are feeling. I too have panic and anxiety. Constantly. I was on medication when I was 18 for about 2 years and haven't been on any since and I don't want them again. I know what it is like to not want to get up and go through another day of panic. I have constant shaking on my insides and wonder how I make it through. I found this forum and think this might be a guiding spot for me. I need this break and so do you. Listen and learn. We can overcome this.

Doreen Virtue has stated that spending one hour without any sunscreen or sunglasses in the sun will give you your daily dose of vitamin D. Your body absorbs/creates the vitamin D through your eyes and skin.
In order to sun yourself for an hour without any sun screen or sun glasses you will need to sun yourself early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is NOT strong.
Vitamin D is beneficial for treating depression. It's also natural and holistic.
Also exercise is essential for releasing endorphins in your brain, which helps to elevate depression as well. Walk for at least 30-40 minutes a day to keep the blues away.

Lavender Rose,
It is only now that I've read this thread and my tears are flowing like a waterfall. The words you have typed have touched my heart deeply. Not only are they meant for Seablue, but they are also meant for people like me who are on the path of healing and renewal. Thank you. The words are so wonderful and moving.
Seablue,
I have suffered of anxiety and panic attacks and depression and hallucinations (according to Science) and went to the ward for it, against my will for even my own family did not know how to handle me and the gifts given to me. I did not want to take the meds because I thought it would kill my Spirit. It was a time of absolute terror for me and I was literally living in the dark.
Please know that science and religion/spirituality go hand in hand. The balance of things is very important.
I no longer ate and slept that time, and was a magnet for both the dark and the Light. I didn't know who to turn to for guidance because I was hearing too many things and seeing too many things. And to the people around me, I was indeed at the brink of insanity - that is why they put me in an institution, because they love me and thought of it as the best way to help me. Months after I got out, I still went on my appointments with my neuro-psychiatrist whom I will within this month write to and thank. He is a wonderful doctor and was very proud when he learned I have moved here to the US and studying. Three years after my ordeal, I realize, my family and doctor were right. I needed medications. My body was weak. I needed to strengthen it to strengthen my Spirit.
Take your meds and have faith that they will cure you. In time, you will know that you no longer need them. It might take a while, but be assured that you will come out stronger and more attuned to your Spirit and God. Never think that you can "dull" your gifts and your true Self, for they will always (ALWAYS) come out and manifest themselves no matter what you do and not do.
The path to healing and acceptance is quite difficult sometimes, and that is why we are all here. God did not give us this life if He knew we couldn't handle it.
Please let us know how you are doing and know that you are always in our prayers.
Joy, my Love and God's blessings to you always!
