What advice would you give to someone suffering from anxiety?

I want to go to church and learn more about my maker. I think I have anxiety because I get really nervous to talk to people. What advice would you give to someone suffering from anxiety that is making it hard for them to go to public events, such as church.

Chosen Answer:

i used to experience this all the time before i came to christ. umm i came to realsise its the enenmy trying to hold us back from our destiny. don’t let your nervousness stop you from going God wants you to enjoy being in public and around people any thing otherwise comes from the devil.

Have confidence because God is always with you and thinking about you. also if you put your trust in him he will make everything go fine… and even exceeding your expectations for the good :)

    Goto the earliest daily mass … Very few show up … Idk which sat/sun mad has the least people, but you could figure that out at daily mass … Sit closer to the front because everyone seems to huddle together in the back.

    See a therapist. You might have social anxiety disorder if it bothers you so much.

  6. The Sun is Shining ❂ Says:

    Treat yourself to a book on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), do the exercises, and free yourself from pointless worry once and for all. Good luck.

  7. Ginger Says:

    Don’t go to church. It’s full of people who’ll stare at you and talk about you behind your back.

  8. Spiritual Sister Says:

    Looks like you have two questions. One is a social anxiety the other is the desire to learn more about your spirituality.

    For the social anxiety, sounds like you’re very focused on yourself and what others are thinking. Find ways to interact where you feel less judged. Perhaps go to a place where you can volunteer.

    For your desire to grow spiritually, you can find some information on line. Of course there’s just as much quackery on line as there is in buildings so it’s time to improve your discernment. But any of the major religions will get you stated learning about your maker, go to a church, temple, or mosque and start growing and learning.

  9. Will Nickel Says:

    To speak with a physician because anxiety is treatable.

    god helps those who help themselves.
    you can fix yourself with self help therapy such as NLP techniques from a book.
    or a 100% believer can just surrender to the will of god and not be anxious.
