Thank you for the ideas and comment i appreciate it also sorry for late reply plus how are you doing today?

Plus i whould like to share something since i already talk about this problem well this is how it starts

Before when i lived life as usual by not practicing christian faith neither praying i want to say there was even worse struggles than today even so today is but little better yet afther so many years being around negative people again before i repented this actually had effect on my body what made anxiety worse and increased ptsd symtomps of the trauma events and many of times going in cricle talking about my problems withoud thinking of how to practice that i can control it actually

Not unitil some 2 years ago in 2018 somewhere there when i started reading bible about pornography issues and other stuff i even looked about prayer if that s a sin to not pray thats  how i actually started to pray yet afther some time passed with slowly prayer things started to change for some reason i changed the way i think

Before i whould complain about my anxiety etc so on having problems and afther i repented i started to think more how to handle it

And i readed many times how it s good to go to park and holy ghoust gave me idea to go to park
next was i started to think how i should forgive people whu hurted me when i had hard time forgiving while i canted let it go that changed trough prayer for some time
then next thing was i returned to conffesion afther so long time which changed everything i feelt a bit awkward it removed serval of evil spirits like like a new person i started to think diffrend talk diffrend and belive diffrend and that for some reason wasnt appreciated in my family dont know why but ok

I just wanted to say the more and more i was going to conffesion praying and taking communion even so there was ups and downs in church i still decided to risk it with my pain and cross i have panic attacks in church i just let it to our lord even so i have trouble around people stress etc but maybe if i talk to him that to can help to change maybe i can tell Jesus in my mind what i feel when i see person and start shaking what do you think what could i say?

Also for some reason Prayer,going to church and conffesion being led by holy spirit helped me way more that psyhiatricy could even so i do know already good technic about breathing exercise train a bit at least in a week plus drinking water to helps yet writing journal meh but writing journal from another point how to fix problem worked but not he one whu did something bad to me hope that made sense

Well that whould be it for my testimony i hope that whu readed it will understand my issues
I understand you completely.

I am glad God has led you back to the Faith.

Praying, confession, holy communion, mass, will help you much more than psychiatry because those things deal with the supernatural.

I am not a fan of journaling, but I have begun to write down 10 positive things I noticed throughout the day before I go to bed. Helps me sleep better and I have a better outlook in the daytime because I am looking for positive things.

Yes, talk to Jesus. Yku do not have to be in Church.  He is everywhere. Tell Him everything. Ask for help. He will help you.

Do not fear about shaking when you are speaking with someone. Just ask their pardon, that you have a medical condition.

There is a good book about St. Joseph I would recommend to you. A very enjoyable, easy read:
The Life of St Joseph by Maria Cecilia Baij, O.S.B.

I once had crippling OCD/scrupulously, it was so bad I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I was fortunate to find help from a very holy priest that understood these issues. If seeking out a priest for help, it is vital to find one who has the understanding, patience and compassion to deal with someone suffering from severe Scrupulously, OCD and Anxiety. A good Catholic Psychologist may even be able to refer you to such a priest. I will pray for you, I recognize the immense suffering you are going through, I’ve been there.  :pray:

I have an question about talking with priest about mental problems because many times this goes under psyhiatricy section even if you asked them moustly answer whould be have you seen psyhican but there s something really wrong here because priest indeed can help its just that i am not shure how to explain lets say this

In psyhiatricy if you have problem they just give you medicine or watch over you for days etc
While priest will listen to your current problems like when you talk to psyhologist that s why i belive that its maybe better choice to talk about disorders mental problems with priest because they have the cure and that cure is conffesion in psyhiatricy many times doesnt aceept sin because

psyhiatricy today is based on atheistic wiev but there is christians but more moral relativistic its rare to see real chatolic psyhiatricy but we do have that to yet remember the snake on the ambulance cars this proves modernism new age religion there that s big danger in our society which teach anti christian values based on healthy body but not talking how pain is needed and cross to go trough life but want fast recovery to get better which is not christian way to live but enough for this my real question is again this

Question

Well since i have learning disablity and issues with prayer anxiety ocd ptsd etc do you think its actualy good idea to talk with priest about it i dont have to be ashamed or bad to talk in conffesion or just like that at end of mass because i belive that i asked about it to and that its good idea what you all think can priest as well help in such matters since my problem is actually spiritual anxiety is spiritual problem like depression traumatic event since childhood

Issues like when body is shaking around people fear of people obssesive tougsh flashback of the past have enyone go trough such matters and how do you handle it panic attack in church i whould like to know your opinion thank you

My cousin is going through some mental problems right now and I have encouraged him to go to a priest before. I will be praying for you. I don't know how you feel. But, there are people in my family who do. You are also correct on psychiatry. Priests have helped me with problems in my life. I would recommend going to a good priest who can help you. I wish you the best. God bless.  :pray:
