Doing this again
Doing this again
This is my second time in 12 years of doing this program. It was a success the 1st go around, however I have lef myself slip back. I am trying to plan a vacation with my husband and am having terrible anxiety even thinking about going. It is the flying and the being away from home. Like hey if I have a panic attack and want to leave I have to get on a plane. This is terrible. I really want to go.
Re: Doing this again
I am just starting the program and also planning a vacation next month with my husband, son and his wife and kids. I am anxious as well. We will be driving to Disneyland and I am hopeful it all works out. I know it sounds wonderful; I just need to work on the let it be and focus on the program to help me along. I hope things go well for you and your plans!

Re: Doing this again
Hi doing this again. I am doing this again also. I bought the program 2 years ago. But I have slipped back into bad habits again. My worst problem right now is not being able to sleep. Anxity is worse at this time.

Re: Doing this again
lieway= You can do it! I recently went on a trip where I wasn't the driver and was staying at a stranger's home, so the not knowing bothered me. But I was going back to a place where I did have fun and was going to be with some wonderful people for a conference. Anyway, I had the best time and no anxiety. I had more anxiety knowing that I was coming back home to the situation that was troubling at home! So you can do it and you will have a grand time and not want to come home.

Re: Doing this again
Hi Olivebean, I'm glad you are doing this again, you will feel better. I'm doing it again and again. I just go to the CDs that have the session I need to work on, but this time I have the workbook. I didn't have them before nor the DVDs. How are you doing today? Paislee

Re: Doing this again
Hi Paisleegreen, Um not real great. Very panicky all day. I have not slept that much in the last 3 days, which does not help. But I am working on sessions one and two. How are you?

Re: Doing this again
Hi Olivebean, I'm sorry you haven't been able to sleep the past three days. I'm doing okay, but just posted that I'm working on clearing out a scrapbook room for company. Anyway, I just have a hard time getting going in the day due to feeling down or overwhelmed with many things I could be doing with my time. I think part of it is the company I keep. They are my husband and son who turned 20 not too long ago.
They both are giving me reasons to feel anxious.
Just something I have to work on as I don't know if they are going to change their behavior to make me feel more comfortable. So I have to work on making myself feel better. So I will just plug along and work on my goals. Eventually, the things that give me anxiety will be resolved one way or another. It is just going to take time, patience and guts!

Re: Doing this again
Hi Olivebean--Scrapbooking is fun. I haven't done it for a while. The room is fairly organized, it just has had other stuff put into it that needs to be sorted through or put in its place or discarded. I have to make room for a twin bed to fit in there for company. I have tables set up for scrapbooking that will need to be taken down.
My husband is supportive in different areas. Definitely supportive in helping me with my anxiety, we just don't always see eye to eye.
My children have been supportive in many ways, but this son is my baby and hasn't left the nest just yet. We are a little bit a like so we are going to have our struggles, but he is one of my main anxiety producers. Paislee
