That is really really nice to hear. Your posts have shown such a positive progression you should be feeling very good about yourself right now. Your Xmas shopping is done, and even though it rained you still had a good day with no anxiety!

i have been doing great on the program. i haven't had a panic attack in over a month, probably longer, i lost track. recently, i lost a friend. his passing seemed to almost set something off inside of me. recently, even before his death, i noticed myself becoming withdrawn almost. not depressed, not...

i have already done session five, but i realize it is something that has to go on way beyond the session itself. honestly i didn't think i could do it. i was always afraid to exercise since it made my heart race. but as in my last post, i did it. i was scared, but i pushed through. the program is wo...

well on a good note, i actually worked out tonight. big step for me. my heart was racing but i kept on going saying over and over, this is okay, this is okay. when i stopped, my heart was still thudding out of my chest. it is so scary. i didn't panic. still doing well in that aspect, it's been a whi...

at the moment i am on medication (unrelated to my anxiety) that makes me very sick to my stomach. i've been doing pretty well on the program and am very happy about it. but since i am feeling so sick, i can't eat anything, trust me i try, i love food, but i just can't. the mere thought of food turns...

i have been throught the same thing, and i'm sure many others here have too. no need to worry (as if that isn't a funny statement). i have what if thinking about just about everything it seems. but yes, i have had the scary "what if i kill someone else" thoughts. and many thoughts along those lines....

thank you all for your responses. Mary, it is so strange you said that, lol, i am on session four now. and i was thinking about it after i posted the first part, maybe it is the alone time i was always afraid of and now i can handle. i was just saying to someone yesterday in chat to use their alone ...

i have been doing the program and i've seen a lot of improvement. i had semi done the program before, but stopped once i felt better. so this is my second go-round with the sessions. like i said i am improving, and i am doing well. i haven't taken xanax for almost two weeks, and i've calmed myself d...

i just wanted to know if anyone else has prolonged a session.... i am on session three, and i'm supposed to start session four tomorrow, but i don't feel ready yet. i was wondering if it was okay to stay on this session a while longer, or should i go week by week and come back to session three later...

This is just me experience...I was diagnosed bi-polar, and they put me on meds (can't remember the name) anyway, I had problems with the medication, it was messing with me heart and making me faint. Needless to say I had to stop taking it, BUT, I have noticed with the help of the program, the cycles...
