What fears have you overcome and how?
View all responses

Fear is a liar. When my adrenals crashed back in 2012, I lived in fear, panic, and anxiety for a long time. I was afraid to drive, go to restaurants, go to the movies, or go grocery shopping, because those are places I had experienced panic attacks and I lived in fear of having a panic attack. Home was my safe place. I was afraid of taking my kids out and not being able to take care of them. I was in a bad place. But with Jesus, self care, a solid plan with my doctor to heal my body, and therapy, I was able to slowly heal. I was able to overcome that fear and I give thanks to God often now. Back then I didn’t really need to take my kids anywhere except to the park, the library, or for a walk. These days I drive to the ends of the earth for their sporting events and I wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t heal my adrenals or if I continued to let fear rule my life. I thank God for bringing me out of that pit into where I am now.
