What to do if i cant go to church?

Hello, im someone that has recently become interested in eastern orthodoxy. I have purchased the OSB and I wish to be baptized, however, i'm going back home soon due to mental health problems which have been debilitating and won't be able to attend church for a few months.

What can I do if I don't have access to services, etc? I know God will understand my health problems. Thank you

please pray for me

hi, you can call me ira.

for the past few weeks, i've been having panic attacks, due to my ocd and gad, and i haven't been able to do anything during easter due to psychiatrist visits. i've been diagnosed very recently, but lately, my panic attacks have been increasing to every morning due to thinking about death and my loved ones dying

i am on medication and i am currently getting professional help, however, i feel like it isn't enough. i've been praying to the Lord myself, whilst im calm, whilst im in a crying fit, but i feel alone, and my mental illnesses have been too debilitating for me to function.

please pray for my mental state to get better, and for my anxiety to subside

thank you all
