Generalized Anxiety

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jan 03, 2008 2:47 pm

I too have generalized anxiety worry about everything and anything. I even worry so much i sometimes make myself sick with symptoms of the thing i am worrying about. I worry about stuff i watch on tv or read. Program has helped a lot just knowing I am not the only person having all of these thoughts and feelings has relieved me of soo much anxiety. I am also reading books on anxiety as well as listening to the tapes over and over in my car on my way to work ( i miss alot the 1st time around)

I think I understand the cycle with my ocd personally:

1. anxious and worrisome child
2. lack of both parents and need of survival started negative thinking which continues today
3. began panic at 14
4. began OCD at 16
5. depression all throughout on and off- suicidal, hopeless..
6. OCD gets worse and worse

The program is god sent, literally. I cannot believe how I am learning and breaking the above long cycle. It is possible. It does take tons of work, faith, TONS OF TIME (even years and doing the program 3 times..) and patience! I know everyone feels this way but there arent words to describe the beginning of my tranformation.. I am beginning to love life and myself and im just mastering 3/4! I have never loved life. I didnt think it was possible.

IT STICKIN WORKS! generalized, severe, the whole scale- everyones perception is different which makes it effective. I would bet if untreated and continual your conditions will move from generalized to ocd, ibs, and other health issues so congrats we are all on the right path!

Best of luck!

i've received the package 3 weeks ago but i haven't really done much 'cause i was too busy during the holidays. right now i'm having anxiety with my health. i think i have reflux and it's been a month and a half. i'm having my endoscopy done next week and i'm really scared as my doctor friend told me the risks, i'm so scared that something wrong might happen and i'm also very scared of what the result might be. i have 2 children who are still young and very much need me. i have experienced depression 4 years ago and i don't want to go back there.i really hope this will help me and i do hope i could find time to go through all these.i just want to have peace of mind and acceptance on what might it be. could anyone give me words that will comfort me? thank you

Hi bless
I am an obsessive health worrier and spend way too much time reading WebMD and other medical web sites - but my suspicions is that ur Reflux is due to anxiety - and I can bet you, when you "think" about your acid reflux it actually gets worse, right? I get this little "finger poke" feelings in my upper breasts which of course I think is a heart attack - I actually insisted after havng a normal EKG, that my doc send me to a cardiologist for a stress test just to make sure nothing is hiding - well i went expecting the worse - and guess what - he told me I was healthy as a horse! So i suspect your results will be fine as well
let me know!

I feel the same way with my phone. Anxious if it is my family and not wanting to tell them who I am with. (As they hate my bofriend). Worring all the time am I making the right decisions and making myself sick to the point where all I do is sleep all the time.

Bless,
Try this for your acid reflux:

2 Table spoons of Apple Cider Vinager (Raw unfiltered type from health food store)
1/4 Tee spoon of baking soda
Add 8 oz of water and drink 2x per day. Preferably on empty stomach.
I have GERDs and it helped me tremendously.

irisheyes,

stick with it. It will help. don't get to the point of panic attacks. start diffusing your anxiety now. this program has helped me immensely. I was able to quit meds by week 6. Good luck.
