Kelly3022 I just posted a question about whether anyone gets shaking in the head when you are nervouse. I definately know it is anxiety but I just knew one other person who had it in their past but not now so I just felt alone. This feels like the worse of symptoms of nervousness for me. It feels un...

Completed the program over a year ago. When I first discovered that I had anxiety and started to get symptoms 3 years ago, I would get head shivers or a tremor among other things when I was nervous. If I am nervous while talking to someone in person or someone is talking to me I would get these head...

Insomnia was not really a problem for me until I started trying anti-anxiety medications. Some anti-anxiety meds caused insomnia and so benzos like Xanax helps with that. I had other symptoms of anxiety like nervousness, heart racing, shaking, etc. but not really sleep problems except when I took ce...

I am on session 9 of the program. I have learned so much about myself and how my thinking habits which are my personality traits have led to the physical symptoms of anxiety that I experience.

I don't have any depre...

I am on week 4 of the program and finding out things about myself that I didn't realize before. I feel good when I listen to the CDs and have a better understanding of what led up to my anxiety problems and axiety attacks but I still get anxious and have physical symptoms of nervousness when I'm aro...

I have tried a few different medications for anxiety over a year and a half when I started to get anxiety. It doesn't seem like a respond to medication as well as other people I hear do. I take xanax also and it works but that is a muscle relaxent and is supposed to be temporary. Has anyone else tri...

Amy, I am so happy you are doing the program. It has truly been a Godsend for me. I am so very thankful for it. Anxiety and Depression simply drain you. This is so common to feel this way. I have had all the symptoms I believe a person can think of, but I am doing very well now, thanks to God and th...
