I'm getting there...thanks!

I'm feeling much better now.
Anger is dissapating, but I'm still having problems with dizziness and driving. I know it will go away.

Thanks for the replies!

After my 3rd attempt in the program (and my 3rd time on session 2), I've FINALLY figured out what my stressor is - and it's one I don't know if I can control - my fear of death. I was raised in a church - a Southern Baptist (and if anyone here was raised similar, you'll know what I'm talking about w...

Hi Linda - yes, I'm doing the program....I'm starting it again for the 3rd time. The 2nd time, it was doing miracles for me, then I got so better, I stopped - big mistake! I think that after I got so much better, I got so confident that I just didn't even think of doing the exercises anymore, and th...

I realize that changes have to be made, but quitting caffeine (or the thought of doing so) literally freaks me out. I drink 3 cokes daily, and for the past 8 years, have been taking 4 excedrins daily (for the headaches i get from stress AND for the caffeine). I guess I'm worried about the headaches ...

So, as I stated, this is the third time I'm starting this program, and I intend to go through the whole thing this time. It really started to work the 2nd time, but I quit right in the middle of it. But, just like the 2nd time, I'm starting to have issues with anger - and I mean RAGE. I'm (for the l...

Hi all - on the first disc, Lucinda mentions that when we're having an anxious episode (or in my case, a full blown panic attack) that many of us tend to overbreathe. However, I noticed a few days ago that when I'm having a panic attack (had one in traffic) that I tend to hold my breath - and that i...

Hi all- just starting the program again after a year....went 9 weeks, got better, and quit. Needless to say, here I am again...I didn't put it all into practice. Anyway, my question for everyone is this: I'm 43, and look MUCH younger - however - my hair is starting to thin like crazy. I've always be...

I have a question to ask everyone - both to see if they have it in common with me, and if so, if they can help. If you read my first post, you'll remember I've started college again after a successful career as a musician. (Because of anxiety, I quit the music career, and did NOTHING for 8 years.) D...
