I dont really want to go into the details of my personal life. But for the past couple of years I have been experiencing a lot of OCD and anxiety. This anxiety has resulted in many panic attacks and stress in my life. Making it hard for me to be happy.
1. I have constant fear of doing normal day things. Such as crossing the street.
2. I am always checking things to make sure they are ok. And if I am unable to check this thing it will bother me for the rest of the day.
3. I live in fear of contracting some sort of disease/giving someone a disease. Even though my doc has told me multiple times that I am healthy.
4. I always think that something bad has happened to me but I dont remember it.
5. I always think I smell bad which makes me not go near people. Even though all of my friends have told me multiple times that I dont.
6. I always think people are starring at me. It makes me feel scared.
The list goes on and on..... Every week I feel as if this anxiety is getting worse. I worry that one day i will be unable to function. I hope that someone out there can also share some of their anxiety problems. Because I know that I am not alone.

buhahaha thanks! sadly I dont have any tiles on my celling. Funny you would mention the shoes. I just got a new shoe shelf and I have been meaning to arrange all of my shoes on it.
For real....thanks for all of the helpful tips. I made this post not looking for sympathy. It was more to find someone I could relate to and to get some advice from. Since none of my friends seem to have much anxiety.....(maybe they do but are good at hiding it?)
Christ brings you love, acceptance, and intimate communion with the God of love. With Christ, you are not alone. He conquers your loneliness by coming to dwell within you. Loneliness is removed by the presence of the indwelling Christ.
There is precious communion with Christ, when a lonely person discovers that the love of Christ is real and satisfying. There is an old saying, "Blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home." Loneliness and isolation are signs of homesickness, which can only be healed by coming home to Christ.
Christ makes us whole. His love makes us whole, and out of the overflow of Christ's love within us we can then show love and compassion for those around us. Out of the overflow of His love and acceptance for you, which heals your loneliness, you can show love and caring towards those around you.
He knocks at the door of your heart; the presence of Christ is real. But He must be invited into your heart, into the center of your being.
Receive Him; receive His cleansing and forgiveness and love. Allow Him to have the control of your life in a genuine surrender, and His loving presence will fill you, removing loneliness and unrest. May the peace of Christ fill you now!
A Prayer of Surrender:
Dear Lord Jesus, please fill me with your love, and wash away all my sins. I surrender my heart and life to you. I ask you to receive me and make me whole.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, to cleanse me and forgive me. Thank you for dying on the cross for me, to make me a child of God. I turn away from all my sins, with all my heart.
I receive you, Lord Jesus, as the Lord and Savior of my life. I ask you to rule in my heart and life from now on. I ask you to fill me with your loving presence, and guard me with your divine protection.
I ask you to strengthen me and help me, to live for you from now on. I ask you to fill me with love so that I can love other people with a pure love. Fill me with love so that I can love you with all of my heart. Amen.
