As all of you know I have dealt with anxiety all of my life that I remember and sometimes manage it better than other times. My friend had a cancerous tumor in her brain removed and has dealt anxiety and depression ever since. I have tried to help with all the tools I use to manage my anxiety and she can't maintain them long enough for them to help her... She is trying to hang on but has lost hope. I have tried to help her with the belief of her Savior and she is losing her belief although still hanging onto the Christian cultural lifestyle. Maybe she believes in fake it till you make it. I believe that is a good strategy as long as you read the scriptures to get to know the Savior better. I am going to try and help this friend bring down the anxiety long enough to get back to finding the Savior. I know a lot of people believe if you have faith in a higher power that the anxiety will be healed or cured. I do not believe that as God does not heal or cure everyone and especially doesn't heal the "good" or "deserving" and let the others die or live with illness. Having hope and faith is what helps us to get through it all. We all have trials and ups and downs and I am back on an up! (Amazing what can happen when you can actually sleep at night!)
