Re: Realizing about friendships/social anxiety

I agree, church would be a great idea to get you out of the house. You may also find a new friend or two while going. And just the feeling alone that you may feel while going is so worth it!! :) I've got to imagine there are a few that would be close. Now a days there seems to be churchs everywhere!...

Re: Any advice?

Well first let me assure you, you are NOT nuts, or we both are!! :) I have had many thoughts like that. Sometimes I can even envision myself doing those things. I know I never would, but I can see myself driving into people as they are walking across the intersection I am waiting at or whatever. I h...

Re: Don't Do it!! Don't take that "break"

Yea maybe it is time for some "spring cleaning" there also. Maybe that is holding me back. I know I am realizing that where I am is due to me and my way of thinking and re-acting. Although I have spent most of my life blaming in on family and situations. I thought I had "let go" of things, but maybe...

Re: Realizing about friendships/social anxiety

Keepsmilin - I know what you mean, there is always so much that could be done, it is not hard to go overboard. I do have times that I just seem to have more energy and am able to do more, I don't fight that, but when I'm ready to stop I stop, no more pushing to do more. I am learning to be more ok w...

Don't Do it!! Don't take that "break"

I have had a few times while doing this program that I have had to stop for a moment. Or didn't even have to but just chose to for one reason or another. Each time I was able to see the affect on me, and it was NOT good. Just one day will start it. Keeping at it daily, while working to change oursel...

Re: so depressed i cant find my "true self"

Tim, I understand the cost thing, beleive you me, but they do give you a money back guarantee, I think for 30 days, but they can also set up a payment plan. That's what I had to do, as I don't really have much for money. But they are not there for the money, they do seem to want people to get better...
