Freedom from panic attacks; quick, harmonious childbirth

Debra Frances Bundy

Around two and a half years ago I was suffering from severe anxiety and experiencing panic attacks. One morning while reading a Brisbane newspaper, I came across an advertisement for a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy that was headed "Living without fear." I telephoned a Christian Science Reading Room listed in the ad and asked if the book could be posted to me. The lady who took my order told me how Science and Health had changed her life for the better. However, before the book could reach me, I was unexpectedly called to New Zealand to visit my father, who passed on while I was there. I knew then that I wanted to read this book more than ever.

When I returned home to Australia, the book was waiting for me. I started with the chapter entitled "Fruitage." I was greatly inspired and encouraged to read how people from all walks of life had been healed just by reading Science and Health. I thought if they could do it, then surely I could do the same. As I read, I started applying to my life what I was learning about God and my relationship to Him. I understood that God is our Father-Mother and we are His children. Because God is ever-present Love, He takes care of me at all times. I have nothing to fear. I am always safe and well. Life is God. Thus my true being, and that of my father, is immortal, deathless, and eternal. As I held to these ideas, the anxiety and panic attacks ceased.
