Anxiety over a Movie.?
Question:
Answers:
I don't think it is the movie. You're just associating the movie with the timing of your parents' break-up. You're having the anxiety because of your parents. Talk to someone about it, including your parents.
it sounds like alot of things at one time, being a Christian you should realize that what you put your eye to does open the doors to the devil. He has instilled fear, but fear is a spirit and you a Christian have the right to command it to leave you. You have unresolved issues that needs to be looked at...the elephant in the living room syndrome...you need to talk to your mom and dad as an adult now and tell them how you feel and forgive them both and love them where they are at...and love yourself too..dont give your attention to evil..people dont even realize how much it can effect them until it is sometimes to late...get back into Gods word and let his peace heal you...
You are connecting the movie with the fight your parents had resulting in their divorce which sounds like it has been a traumatic experience for you. It's what you remember doing the night they had their fight resulting in life changing decisions. You need to seek some help to deal with the experience of your parents relationship and how it relates to you. Divorce isn't easy for any family member no matter how old they are.
Hello Dear,
In addition to what the others have shared, you need professional help in dealing with your anxiety. The good thing is that you've only noticed it for about one year now and it intensified with the obviously traumatic break up of your parents marriage and your secure home. These issues will take some time to resolve. I'm praying for you.
In God's love, Your brother in Christ.

Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. The following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks:
1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and anxiety etc. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: www.livinglifetothefull.com
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. You can get free downloads if you put "progressive muscle relaxation" into Google (e.g. lots of universities have them as free downloads)
With each step practise makes perfect. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
You need to see a professional to cope with your anxiety. Find a counselor that is a complete stranger to you and you feel comfortable sharing your deepest thoughts with. Find a psychiatrist and see if you can get some medication. You need to do this and I strongly encourage you to take that first step toward healing.
