From no hope to freedom: Our Lady’s triumph over my incurable panic 

I was raised nominally Protestant, probably only went to church 20 times in my entire youth. Got into paganism and then atheism in my young adulthood. Had an experience almost exactly like the good deacon here minus having a child. I started listening to the Bible in a Year which lead me a few months later to ordering a rosary online and I've prayed it every day now for almost a year. I love the rosary so much and I just love Our Lady more and more over time. I'm hoping to be confirmed Catholic next Easter!

I have a similar story. In 2018 I started having daily panic attacks, many a day. I went to the doctor's the first time thinking I would stay overnight for I felt so horrible and I am often very healthy. But they examined me and said it was only stress. I went to see a doctor to give me some drugs to calm me down, I started therapy and another form of religion. But I only got worse and worse until someone told me about a Deliverance Mass. It was the first time I went into a mass after more than a decade. I started crying in the first few minutes. I started attending all Sunday masses of the last months of 2018. In 2019, I met Padre Pio and the rosary. I thought 'well, I have tried so many other things why not this one?'. And in a week I was healed just like that. It´s been 5 years, I still have some minor anxiety attacks specially when I don't pray the rosary but I don't take any pills or need any psychologists. I have fully converted and so have my husband. I never liked Mary or the church but I felt what it is like to be loved and cared by Mother Mary and she has converted me in a way that I could never imagine. God be blessed for leaving us such a Mother and such a 'weapon'!

Thank you this video was beautiful 🥹 I’m on day 9 of a 54 day rosary novena myself where I’m praying for a husband. I love Mary - this video just gave me extra hope, thank you again. Please pray for me 🙏❤

My husband, children and I prayed teh 54 day rosary novena for an emergency that we were having. On 55, the day after we finished, we received great news. Our lady is interceding for us. I prayed it a second time for the health of my son. We had not finished the novena and we found a doctor that could help him. I am faithful to our Lady of the Rosary she intercedes for us!

Crying watching this video. I started my consecration to the blessed mother mary,At the beginning of the year. I have a baby on the way. Started feeling more anxious and unworthy. I fell into constant panic attacks, and now I have derealization/depersonalization. I'm struggling daily, but I started going to mass every day, and I pray the Rosary every day. I hope our mother Mary guides our prayers to her son. May Jesus have mercy on those who suffer.

Prayers for all suffering with mental illness

Beautiful story and inspirational. I too suffered from panic attacks/anxiety of which for 10 years was on daily antidepressants and anti anxiety meds for panic attacks. After 10 years of being bloated and needing a change I finally managed to wean myself from the medications over a four month period, which was very difficult due to side effects such as headaches, dizziness and emotional outbursts. Thank goodness through this period I learned on praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet. Never again will I fear anything since I put all my Trust in Jesus and continue to ask our Mother for help in all my trials and tribulations. I haven’t had any panic attacks since, thanks to my ❤and faith in God!

I've experienced anxiety disorder since I was a child. I still do. Some doctors say it is genetic since anxiety goes back 3+ generations in my family. If it wasn't for Our Lady, the Holy Rosary, and my faith in Christ I don't know where I would be today. God Bless Our Lady's Chapel for posting this 💗

My wife is expecting our first child in August. Thank you for sharing your story since I too suffer from anxiety and am nervous about it. I know to trust in Jesus and Mary and it will be alright.

I can just imagine Mother Mary having a panic attack too because SHE KNEW HER SON will soon be crucified however HER FAITH never wavered and thus now SHE LEADS us to her SON, that nothing should ever unravel us because we all have one place to go..To HIS SON, JESUS.

What a beautiful heart touching testimony of praying the Holy Rosary... Countless are the blessings and graces received through the Holy Rosary... Mama Mary...We love you... Pray for us your children... Ave Maria❤

Our Lady taught me a great lesson in despair. I had no idea it was a great sin. After a great loss, I was prone to despair but, now knowing it was a sin, i swallowed my pain. I learned the hard way to trust in God thru Our Lady. 🙏🙏🙏

God bless you, thank you for sharing. Thank you, God for Our Lady!

I suffer with panic attacks. I will prepare with a Rosary and the prayers. Thank you, hermanito, for sharing this testimony. It is like medicine for my soul. Que Dios te bendiga siempre y la Virgen te cubra con su manto.

Interesting. I also had sudden onsets of anxiety, sometimes for no discernible natural reason. But then I learned this scripture passage: Php 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. One day afterward, when the anxiety came out of nowhere, I prayed: Lord, may your peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. In just moments, our Lord answered my prayer; the anxiety was gone and I felt such joy bubbling up inside of me, I laughed! Since then the adversary has never been able to put an anxiety attack on me again. All glory to God!

What a wonderful story! Around 2010, I was beset with panic and anxiety. I remember wondering if I would ever be able to do normal things again! I tried a well known medication used for panic attacks, and it had a reverse reaction, made me worse. I finally went to a social work/counsellor. And although I didn’t care for most of her strategies, she did suggest praying a rosary when I felt panicky. As I listen to your story, I realize my Mother Mary did indeed help me through to being able to live a normal life again. Thank you for being courageous enuf to share your story.

Ave Maria !

Pray for me a great deal

Praise God! 🕊☘ Thank you, Mother Mary!🌹🙏

Heartfelt and inspirational testimony too. Blessed Mother is really our great intercessor if we ask help and devote ourselves to Her.Thank you for sharing it and God bless you always !

This is beautiful! The praying the rosary gives us peace.

Thank you for sharing..God Bless

Absolutely beautiful testimony, thank you so much for sharing and reminding me of Our Lady’s Intercession ❤️

I’m new catholic just got baptized this Easter vigil. I pray entire rosary everyday, I also pray 54 day rosary novena for my husband, divine mercy everyday as well and miraculous invocation of St Therese. But why… my life is getting worse? Things started getting worse mid way of RCIA. Sometimes it makes me doubt and makes me angry why God allows it.

What a beautiful story and a beautiful soul this man has 🙏❤️🙏

Thank you. I needed this. You really have no idea how much. God bless you.🥹

From my own personal experience, I agree wholeheartedly that meds, particularly psych meds, are not the answer. Similar to Deacon Pepin's experience, it was the Most Holy Rosary that enabled my full recovery from a intentional overdose to take myself down 17 years ago.

Wowww…. Praise God! I have had a few Panic Attacks and yes, you believe that it is a heart attack! I’m so glad that you found healing ❤️‍🩹 God bless you!!

Thank you, Deacon, for sharing this story. God bless you.

Thank you so much Deacon. So beautiful and inspiring.

Ave Maria

Thank you ❣️ Amen 🙏

Thank you for sharing

Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
