My fathers recently had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery. A few years back he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He is also a cancer survivor. The period in which he had cancer was a very anxious time for me, not knowing if he was going to live or die, and seeing him in such a frail state f...

Long story short, I was driving and got lost (so to speak). I knew the road I was on, but had never been that far away from home on it, so it was unfamiliar. I began having anxious feelings. It would rush into my body at a ten(scale of one to ten), and then I would relax and it would dissipate, then...

I find that this happens to me many times when I am facing my anxiety. I advance forward and then go two steps back. Perhaps you need to look inward and find the reason for the regression. I know that I sometimes regress b/c I am afraid of the panic, and know that going through this program will mak...

I've been sick with the flu since Friday night. It was generally mild and I was able to eat small amounts through the day. Today I woke up and had stomach upset. It was probably one of the worst stomach aches that I have ever experienced. During the course of the stomach ache I began to feel lighthe...

I have been making some small steps to being able to travel more. I have realized that there are places I like to go, and would never have been able to before the program.

I work in a daycare, and was notified today that one of the children has the swine flu. Ever since hearing the news my anxiety has been acting up. I cannot help but feel as it is almost inevitable to get this flu now, as illness passes quickly in daycare, and with constant exposure to the flu for wh...

Thanks for the replies. Its good to know that not only am I not alone in my feelings, but there are ways to work through it. While I'm still a bit overwhelmed, it has eased a bit. Some issues have cleared up. The cat seems to be getting better, I was able to get him to a shelter that could look him ...

Over the past few days a lot has been happening that is leaving me overwhelmed, anxious about outcomes, and thus resulting in depression. I try to look for the good, but the bad gets in the way. It started a few days ago with a cat I found. He is thin, dehydrated, and sickly. I was able to get him t...

My mother and I have always had a volatile relationship, through my teen years and now into my mid 20's. We are very similar in personality, and before getting into this program, our main means of communication was screaming at each other and arguing. I have been trying hard to change the way I reac...
