I was so bad for a time I couldn't drive very much, very far and definately not over BRIDGES! Many a time I'd try to get across a bridge and just had to turn around and go home. My son was with me one time and I explained to him how I couldn't get across. As I was doing the program I faced this fear...

The homework is really important. One thing to remember is that for you to be the best that you can be you have to take time for yourself. We all are strapped for time...so where in your day can you squeeze in time for the homework or relaxation tapes? I copie the discs to my iTunes...I have the pro...

I never worry about becoming alleric I always worry about food poisoning. Especially botulism. I have caused myself an anxiety attack and a trip to the ER when I got a DPT vaccine last summer. Chances are...your not alleric it's simply another way your anxiety is rearing its head up to say howdy. Ta...

I can't recall where I found this but it has been helpful. Although this is designed for people who have chronic medical condidtions, I found it useful for dealing with my anxiety, body symptoms and hypochondriasis.

Sounds like it might be the stress of what you mentioned. The holidays can really be fun but really stressful as well. Float through it. You are going to be okay. I used to get so mad when I was going through the program and I would still feel anxious. I had to remember that anxiety will never go aw...

I used to have a terrible time driving and was housebound last winter. I got over it by following the program and making some realizations...I was not going to pass out, crash or die. What got me through it was to just do it. Don't let yourself get housebound because it so much harder to get back ou...

So sorry to hear the troubles you have with your family, they sound like really immature hateful people. They are toxic and they will be of no help to you or you to them. I would write a short letter telling them how you feel, and that you no longer wish to have contact. Let them know that if they c...

I relate to all of these posts. I continually worry about diseases and body symptoms. I recently ran to the ER feeling faint because I had to have a Tetnus booster. Never had any problems in the past with shots, but there I was freaking out. I also had bats in my house last summer and I was never bi...

My obsessive thoughts involve my health. I was exposed to a bat nearly a year ago and I was obsessed for weeks that I had rabies. This fear resurfaced several weeks ago. It was so bad I went to the doc just to confirm that...no...if I had rabies I'd be dead by now. We get bats in our home every summ...

My hubby got very frustrated with me, also. He would just make a blowing sound if he caught me in bed during the daytime. Now, that I look back, I can totally understand this one. My hubby was really concerned about me, and didn't have a clue what I was actually going through, since, he didn't have ...
