This Is Going to Sound Silly.. Posted: 04-28-07 16:07pm
Just wondering if anyone can explain why?
My boyfriend is a stronger believer in
going to church every sunday etc. Personal
im not interested in that i have my own
views on this sitation. But a few weeks
ago i went to church with him and was
panicing so much i thought i was going to
pass out.. As i was in there just sat down
listening etc i was sweating shaking
feeling phycialy sick .. all i wanted to
do was get out and run.. ive only ever
been to church once when my mum remarried
when i was 11 im now 20. Is there
something i could maybe do to help with
these feelings im getting all because of a
church !

Hi Louise.
It sounds like you had a panic attack.
Why? It's hard to say. you said that you
had your own beliefs that didn't
necessarily click with the church's. How
strong are your convictions? It could be
as simple as; you really didn't believe in
what and where you were; and something
inside you told you to get going. Or there
could be something much more complex to
it. If you really want to go for the sake
of your boyfriend, you should let him know
what happened and ask him to be patient
with you. If it continues, maybe speaking
with a therapist would be beneficial.
I was raised Catholic, and from the
first time I recall, I have always had
severe waves of dizzyness when I walk into
a church. It has eased some since, but it
is always there. I have no idea why. Good
Luck.
