Re: At my wit's end
Thanks, Polaris. I'm not going to give up on the program. It has helped me immensely with my feelings of depression, and changing my attitude and perceptions and beliefs. I think it is going to vastly improve my quality of life and interpersonal relationships. The techniques for dealing with panic a...

Re: At my wit's end
Thanks so much...it is good to hear that someone out there is going through the same thing. I have actually been to the ER too. The first time I had one of these attacks, I can remember the day. Feb. 9th of this year. I was sitting on the couch in my livingroom on a Saturday morning. I'd just had a ...

At my wit's end
I am on week six of the program now. I had been doing better for a while. None of what I call "xanax level" panic attacks for more than two weeks. But then one hit me a couple of nights ago. And then this morning, 5:30am, I woke up with a weird pins and needles feeling in my left arm. I thought "I m...

This helps my floaty, spacey feelings
I just wanted to share something that I've come across regarding the floaty, spacy, dizzy feelings that a lot of people experience during a panic attack. It seems that many people tense up their jaw and facial muscles during a panic episode, and this can cause pressure on the inner ear, which is res...

Re: Almost done the program and excited!
I am only on week four, but I want to also congratulate you and say how much I admire your persistence. I can't wait to be in your shoes! One thing I remember vividly from session three is when Lucinda talks about depression and anxiety as an addiction to worry and negative thinking. She said that w...

Re: Setback
Thank you Blue! I am doing better now. Luckily, the session on expectations is next. ;D I guess it's a little unrealistic for me to expect to be able to use the tools I just learned perfectly and without fail every time from now until forever. Go figure! We do have good days and bad days, and the go...

Setback
Hi, I am on week three. Just finished it today actually. But after five days of no full blown panic attacks, I woke up this morning and immediately started feeling the hot/cold surges. Like I didn't even have a chance to start thinking about anything and there it was. I tried to 2/4 breathe. I tried...

Re: Session 3 Heart Attack Anxiety
I am feeling better today but am anxious about listening to the session again tonight. I actually made an appointment with a cardiologist, just because I thought it would give me peace of mind to get checked out. And they do recommend having everything ruled out when you're having chest pain. It's s...

Session 3 Heart Attack Anxiety
So I have just started Week 3 of the program. Listened to the first CD yesterday, and I was doing great until the woman on the CD who says she had a heart attack at 46 and it was caused by stress. The second I heard that my stomach dropped and I started getting the hot/cold waves and pounding heart....

Re: Intense Anxiety before Menstruation
Thanks, Ellen. I am having my first coaching session tomorrow. I've been feeling better the past couple of days and more hopeful. Especially since session two is helping me learn the "pre-panic attack" symptoms and how important it is not to let it escalate. I guess what I need to do right now is fo...
