My Panic Attacks

Contributed by TheStoryTeller on Sunday, 9th April 2006 @ 04:44:21 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

My Panics are a problem; they’re very real to me
They’ve stopped me going out the house, since I was 23
I sit here by the window, and watch the world go by
What ever did I do so wrong? I wonder why and cry
I went to see a doctor; he gave me just a pill
It didn’t help me to relax, instead I felt quite ill

I find it very hard though, just popping to the shop
I hate these horrid panics; I wish that they would stop
Sometimes I’ve gotten further than my garden gate
Then my heart it pounds, I loose my legs Oh what a horrid state
My head gets stressed I’m very hot, my stomachs swirling too
I rush back safely to my house and quickly go the loo

Why did I go to church that day? To be somebody’s wife
He knocked out all my confidence and took my zest for life
I heard him tell a friend one day, he liked me stuck at home
Locked away no one to see, no chance that I would roam
So that was it. I could take no more, and I bravely asked him to leave
I think he was more than a little shocked that I’d given him the heave

Then I met a stranger who really made me see
This was no way to live your life, it doesn’t have to be
He showed me how to work at it, and fight my fear with fear
So I’m picking up the pieces now, inching forward year by year
There are lots I have to live for, So much I haven’t done
For now I’d be quite happy Just to walk out in the sun
Don’t be sad by what you’ve read, I don’t think that I could take it
I just need help to stop the panics; I know that I CAN make it.

Friend I know how it is to feel like that, but Jesus loves you and knows what is best for you and the right time to deliver that best.
You almost brought tears to my eyes.
