When panic is quiet on the outside but loud on the inside, God is still near. 🤍
Silent panic can look like: sudden muscle tension or trembling, racing thoughts, feeling “spaced out,” dread or a sense of impending doom, not feeling real (derealization), and invisible physical symptoms like heart palpitations or lightheadedness—while you seem “fine” to others.
Take a gentle step:
Breathe slowly and pray: “When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.” (Psalm 61:2)
Ground yourself: notice 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.
Speak truth: “God is with me; I will not fear.” (Isaiah 41:10; 2 Tim. 1:7)
Reach out to someone who can pray with you. If episodes persist, counseling can help.
If you’re in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (US) for 24/7 support.
You’re not broken—you’re beloved, and you’re not alone. 🌿
