Re: Xanax rebound anxiety

Re: Scared of these feelings

Hi Granville, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my brother last year too. He was 47. It is hard to make sense of those experiences. My faith helps me get through. I too had the panic and the dizziness along with heart palpitations and it wasn't until the body symptoms got really bad that...

Re: FEELING ALIEN

I had this too. Some people would describe this as overwhelm, detached, foggy head, distant. In lesson 14 we describe it as a stress symptom. A signal to help us move toward more self-management. Some women also get this during menopause. Your relaxation cd, lots of water, and some light cardio can ...

Re: Back Again...

You are right on! What you are describing is that tug of war we have to have in order to get free. You mentioned your church. I am assuming you are a Christian as am I.

New book I am reading

Hey All, I started a new book this week called The Circle Maker . It's about how to pray bold prayers and get confident in our prayer life. One of the first things he says is that it is imperative to remember that "God is for you.' I love that. So much of my story as well as the many, many people I ...
