Living with PTSD and Anxiety; Visions and Hallucinations

 After going through seeing visions for over 6 years I developed PTSD. To this day what the doctors say were hallucinations were to me very real visions of things to come, the Tribulation.  The visions were so traumatic that I developed an anxiety/panic disorder and landed on disability, no longer being able to work.  I sit home day after day, afraid of leaving home. I have to muster what little braveness I have in me to just go grocery shopping. I miss visiting my family and friends. People who do not have this anxiety/panic disorder dont understand my plight. Some know about my visions or hallucinations, which ever you choose to believe and view me as someone who had lost their mind. No longer do I have visions or hallucinations, thank the Lord!  Remaining though is my extreme anxiety that lingers on long after the visions stopped.  The one thing I noticed is the more time you've got to think on things the worse the anxiety. When I am visiting with a friend I forget all about everything and the anxiety is put on the back burner. So for those living with anxiety, your best bet is to actually try to get back to work or keep real busy doing other things even though it may be scary at first, once you get busy, you get better.  So choose to start getting busy, writing a book, blogging, maybe go live on youtube or get back to work. Keep moving and keep busy and before long your anxiety will be in your rear view mirror.
