How Can I Fight My Panic Attacks, Since They Are from Allah?

20 May, 2024
Q I am an OCD patient I was having panic attack and anxiety from last 4 yrs now I was feeling better till date suddenly a thought came to me that who is causing me to get panic attack. Is it from Shytaan or from Allah? If it's from devil I easily manage it but if it is from Allah how can one person manage that I stop myself from being going panic by simply not frightening by panic attack? I feel if it's Allah how can I fight situations as it's Allah’s doings and nobody can fight Allah.

As an OCD patient, you are struggling with the idea that your panic attacks are from Allah.

But what if you see them like tests from Allah?

If Allah (SWT) tests you, He wants you to pass by fighting those thoughts that disturb you and make your daily life a struggle.

Anxiety and panic attacks are related. Make sure that you are turning to a specialist who can help you cope with them.
