Hi Ms. T. - I'm sorry - I didn't the realize the process was so far along. You are right - you can't live your son's life for him - you can just encourage him and pray for him - it's sounds like you have done all you can do. As a parent, you want to protect your child, but he is an adult and will le...

Ms. T Bones - I read your post and my heart really goes out to you. You have been such source of encouragement for so many on this forum, but it also takes a lot of courage to admit that you yourself are going through some tough issues and are hurting and now need encouragment and support yourself, ...

Thank you both Ms. T Bones and Lawgirl for responding to me and I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Lawgirl - thanks for sharing your experience. I am not anti-medication either and I definitely know many people who have been greatly helped by meds. I just thought since I got through this ...

Hey All - I am almost done going through the program (for the 2nd time in my life) and I have done all the things I should do to get better - eating better, taking vitamins, exercising at least 4 days a week, positive self talk, relaxation exercises, praying, etc. My anxiety has greatly improved - n...

Hello all - I'm working the program and post to this forum whenever I get a chance - I find it encouraging and the people to be so nice. Please bear with me as this post is a little long. I have been feeling a bit discouraged lately and would appreciate your prayers. I'm a Christian and I started th...

I figured I'd post here instead of the Depression section, since more people read this section. Just wondering if anyone else can relate - I know everyone here can relate to symptoms of both anxiety and depression and I have them both myself, though I am primarily anxiety. I'm in my 8th week of the ...

This post may be a little long, so God Bless anyone who takes the time to read it. I just need to vent. I’ve just been feeling so discouraged. I try to think positive and realistic and comfort myself with my thoughts, but I just feel like it’s so hard to do it alone. I’m on session 3, but my anxiety...

Hello -I am going through the program for the second time (first time was 7 years ago and it helped me tremendously). Anyway, I won't go into a long story about why I'm doing it again - stress, circumstances and I had been just fine for so many years, that when I started to go downhill, I didn't rec...

Future, BTW, your dose is so small 0.25Mg. that you should just be able to stop. For that matter THAT would be the next step because there is no smaller dosage. You will just return to whatever you were before. I doubt that such a small amount is hardly affecting you anyway if you had anxiety to beg...
