Re: 2nd Time Around, Big Triumph Today!

That's so awesome to hear! I'm glad you stuck through the anxiety and went through with what you needed to do. That's a big part of this program I'm finding - going into situations when you feel anxious and realizing you can do it! I'm studying to be a teacher right now and it's good to hear of some...

Re: Second time around!

Sydney, Congrats on taking on your problem head on! Though you may feel weird right now, that is NORMAL because you're addressing a problem you've neglected. Good for you :) I'm also going on the program for the second time too. I'm a Senior in college and while I would listen to the tapes when I co...

Re: Week 4

trae, that is awesome! It is so important to go into these lessons with a positive attitude. I'm still working on the program but session 4 was so important to me because i had SUCH high expectations of everyone around me and myself that it just was not realistic. At first it is very hard to apply t...

Re: Session 3 - What are your thoughts?

dms, I can relate to this completely. I'm a senior in college and have been struggling with anxiety for the past couple years. I kept thinking of it as a condition I had no control over, would get really scared, and just wait for it to be hopefully be over. This program has been a blessing to me as ...

Re: OMG !

Yeah when I first listened to Session 3 I didn't realize how many negative thoughts I had a day until I actually kept track! It can be hard to stay positive when all day you tell yourself negative things, but it DOES work :) I hope that this session has become less overwhelming for you and that you ...

Re: has anyone been like this since early childhood?

I definitely know that I had this as a child! I always thought everyone else did too! I remember one morning sitting in the bathroom crying cause I had the thought that one day my mom is going to die and boy did it freak me out! It actually wasn't until college that my anxiety began to get really ba...

Re: Afraid to be home alone!!

You are definitely not alone! My soon-to-be husband just started working night shifts and I never realized how scared I was of being home alone at night! It's definitely opened up a whole other anxiety thing for me to work on but each night I find myself getting better. Listening to the Relaxation T...

Re: One hell of an attack last night!

Teen Mom, this has definitely happened to me too! I got this program in February and stopped following through with it after my anxiety got better. Then shortly after I got this huge panic attack and realized that I wasn't done learning all the tools i needed too! I've definitely had to take some me...
