It started off with stress building up and in early November, I had an anxiety attack. I don't get intense panic attacks, but instead I get anxiety a...

Hi there. I'm on week 9 of the program and doing well (so I thought). I haven't been feeling anxious at all for a while now, but I have been having health issues and cannot stop obsessing and what if thinking.

Tena-it sounds like you have been going through a very rough time. First of all, give yourself credit for not giving up and for trying to help yourself get through. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to use the skills we are learning in this program...there are those days when we just can't seem t...

Thanks for your support everyone! I did see my doctor today, she took a blood and stool sample and we are going to see how I'm feeling over the next week. She thinks it's a virus. I had mentioned to one of my friends that I have been sick with this stomach thing and she said her mom has the same sym...

Hey there. I'm kind of in a rough place right now. I've been having stomach problems for past two weeks. Not sure if it is a virus, anxiety, or something else.
