I can't believe it has been a month since posting a message. Unfortunately, it has been a pretty rocky month, starting with an extremely difficult Christmas and ending with a failed attempt at what would have been an amazing relationship. The holidays were even harder than I thought it was going be....

Susan, once again, thank you for your support and encouragement. I do want to get better but how can I is the hard part. Right now, I am looking forward, to getting the holidays overwith without sinking lower. It looks like I will be alone most if not all of the 24th to 27th. I mentioned in a suppor...

So much for moving forward and the initial excitement and motivation. After I finally opened the box and viewed the intro and read the guide, I did nothing. I was looking forward to it, but got busy with a few things leading up to my daughters school fair. The next day I got sick and was sick for 3 ...

Whew!! I finally got around to opening the box, literally just a couple hours before I had to call StressCenter.com and decide if I was going to keep it. Talk about procrastination! When I came home yesterday after reading your messages, I was determined to open it as soon as I got home. Thank you f...

I am ready to open and to start the program. I do want to get better and live a better life, and often repeat it to myself. I guess the many years of getting used to the ANTs and living this way, and especially with procrastination, it does not seem to be sinking in. After being given 2 extra weeks,...

I realize if I don't do anything different or to try to change, things will not get better. They will probably get even worse, if that is possible. What am I afraid of? I figure if I open the box and try it, I will not get what I want out of it, probably because I won't put in the time and effort, a...

Yes, Susan has (and others have too) given me some hope and courage. I'm still struggling with what it is going to take to motivate me to start and even think about getting better or becoming happy. I still have not opened the box! I think the longer it stays unopened, the more discouraged I get. I ...

It is so bothersome that the first things that come out of my mind, even when I see positivity or praise, are the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts). My first thoughts were what do I have to be proud of (as I still haven't done anything) and it doesn't feel like I've taken any steps forward yet. I g...

After a lot of (mostly negative) reflection, I am still thinking of trying the program and sticking with it. I haven't even opened the box yet, but I did call the StressCenter.com to confirm having received it. I mentioned my worries over the cost and really really needing the program as well as thi...

Thank you for your replies and encouragement. I guess I really need that emotional or spiritual push to keep me from falling further. I guess that is also why I keep coming back to this forum for something to hang on to. It is very daunting to think of all the time, work and effort that will be requ...
