Stressed out friend

Postby RedMage » Tue Jul 17, 2007 8:47 pm

It's been a while, but I'd like to ask for prayer once again for my online college friend from California. In a little over a week, she's leaving with her family on a cruise vacation that she isn't crazy about going on, and once that's over she's going straight to our college's campus to move in for fall semester. Between packing and planning and everything, she's stressing out in a major way.

It's apparently manifesting itself in the form of something like panic attacks, except she never feels panicky when she has them - she just almost faints, like her body is internalizing the stress and suffering from it without her mind being aware of it. This has been happening repeatedly since the beginning of last week. There's no way to be sure stress is the cause of it, since she has some ongoing health issues (as you may recall from my previous prayer requests), but it seems it's almost certainly contributing.

She's putting up with these attacks remarkably well, like she puts up with everything, insisting they're no big deal and not even mentioning them unless I ask about it, but I know it can't be easy. Please pray that these episodes come to a swift and permanent end and that God will give her peace in this hectic time.

Dear Jesus,

Please calm the storms from within & without RedMage's friend's life. If this is a health issue, let it be discovered, diagnosed & treated correctly before the cruise trip. And thank you for the opportunity for us to pray for her & her family.

In your name we pray Jesus,
Amen

Praying for her...

How interesting. Perhaps she has postural hypotension. I have postural hypotension; it means that my blood doesn't make it to my head fast enough if I stand up or change position too quickly. In other words, I faint. Stress is still a plausible cause of her fainting, but she may also want to look into postural hypotension.

I will be praying.

Little update...

My friend is now off on her cruise. I won't be in touch with her again until the 14th of next month at the earliest, when she arrives at our school for orientation. Please keep her in your prayers.
