session 3 sent me several steps back
I felt that way too when I heard the group talk. After listening to the whole thing, I then thought exactly what Carolyn just said. She is not you!! I talked myself into detaching my feeings from her situation. It is easier said than done, but it can be done. I think that believing that everyone is different and just because that happened to her doesn't mean it will happen to you, is a big step in overcoming your anxiety. You are your own person, you don't know what her life is like or how many underlying causes contributed to her having a heart attack. I think once you start to detach your life experiences from those of others, your anxiety will improve.

This also scared me and I'm only 29, I've been a vegetarian for 10 years, low bmi, good health (although I don't exercise, instead chase my 3 kids all say, lol!).
I always think about my grandmother who will be 80 years old next year. She has had anxiety since she was 19 years old!! Never had a heart attack or really any serious health problem. If she can have anxiety for that long and be OK, I think we will also be OK.
It's nice to know that we are all in this quest together, pulling for each other, keep up the great work!!
