Mary's advice is textbook good stuff, so cannot offer better than that. Most of us have this same problem.

I have been working on erasing the negative thoughts, but I just can't seem to shake them. I try to be happy, think positively, but then I will fall back into the negative cycle, and everything i am trying to accomplish feels hopeless.

I really love this program and feel like it teaches a lot of valuable lessons that anyone can benefit from. My only problem with it is that it really preaches that you can get off your medication. I have really been thinking about this lately. Depression and anxiety run in my family. I use the skill...

I was diagnosed with mvp about a year ago. I was just wondering how many of us on here have one. I was told that many people with one also suffer from panic attacks. Just curious.

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I notice that when my anxiety is bothering me I eat way too much. I have this obsessive fear of my blood sugar dropping and passing out or something so I eat. I don't even have diabetes. My blood sugar has dropped before if I went to long without e...
