~Ever Had That Feeling?~

Valdosta, Georgia
August 14, 2017 8:55am CST
Good morning to everyone, hope your doing well. This morning I don't know why but I have this feeling of dread. I feel like the world is on my shoulders and an elephant is sitting on my chest. If you've never had the feeling your probably thinking I'm insane right now, lol. I hate when this happens, I don't even know why it's happening. I hope I can shake the feeling away soon. I did my devotions this morning and prayed, thought it would leave once I got right with God again but it's still here... Have you ever had the feeling of dread before without knowing why?

@LovingMyBabies I do too Jennifer..repeated stress can do some real damage to the psyche. And it is no wonder, you have a lot right now.

I have and I know you'll find the reason for it. I hope you will be fine when you find out.

I think I have..but it is usually resolved in one way or another. Sometimes I feel like I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. However, things will probably work out one way or another, they always do.

Yes, I had a feeling something was wrong and then I got a call that my sister went thru the windshield of her car and was in bad shape. Many things like that but I'm not why.

You have a lot on your plate right now, so I believe your feelings are natural. I'm so sorry for what you and your family are dealing with. Try to be strong. I haven't ever had that feeling, but am speaking from a psychological standpoint. Try to get out and enjoy nature.

I have a sixth sense and very close ties with the world beyond. When I get a dread feeling it usually means something really bad has happened to someone I know and it goes away when I find out what has happened. My hubby is the same. If he says he feels dread it means we better find out what has happened to who. Prayers always help. Hope everything turns out alright.

I pray your dread won't mean anything at all. You're wise to stay close to our Lord.

I'm so sorry you feel that way. You do have a heavy load of responsibility weighing you down. I am feeling restless and depressed today. I wish I could shake that feeling. Hope you feel better by now.

This can mean a lot of things and one is you are in a panic attack. Take deep slow breaths and try to relax your shoulders It`ll will pass. Its because you are under stress, and you stress a lot because of not knowing what will happen. Just let it go, God has you. Use your faith.

What you did is right, praying can really lessen that heavy feeling. Are you stressed? Maybe this is the reason why you feel heavy.

Yes I do get that feeling sometimes, I guess it has to do with our hormonal imbalance. I sometimes feel so down and depressed when the other day I was very happy. I guess there are sometimes gloomy days. Don't worry, you're not the only one feeling that way.
