Hi I have just started the program again. I quit 2 yrs ago and stopped on week three. I started week 4 today and am giving it a good try. My problem is finding the motivation to do all the work. I come up with excuses to get through the day and then have no time for the program or I dont want to bother the family to take the time to myself. I am working on it. So this is me jumping back in.
Re: Restarting the program
I went through the program a couple of years ago and I have found myself back in the program. We were having financial issues, I had to get my leg drained, I was getting really stressed. It was right around Thanksgiving and the anxiety was hitting me full swing. I was having problems focusing at work so I decided this time to go to the Doctor and do program with medication. I had been is the stress mode for about 2 months and just after I made the appointment(same day) my son got arrested for selling marijuana at school. I think my body chemistry got really out of wack because I was also having focusing issues at work. My boss confronted me and I sobbed and told him every thing and I had made appointment to go and see the doctor. I was amazed he was so understanding. I am so glad I followed through and went to the Doctor and also restarted the program. I have regularly been seeing a therapist also but the therapist does not prescribe medication. The program is helping me. The only thing is my journalizing and the CD relaxation CDS are not every day but I do remember the technique of positive thinking and subconsciously pull out the tools when I begin to get unsettled. I think Session 3 is the biggest challenge for me. Session 4 just makes so much sense and it fits in like a puzzle piece. I still have bouts of beating myself up if I make a mistake. My big thing is making a mistake. So here I am 2nd times a charm, I hope!
Re: Restarting the program
I was finding myself getting better and my husband is very supportive. Only he had to go out of town for work and I did not realize how attached to him I have become. I'm so proud of myself I am actually making progress I was a little lost without him around but I have managed to keep the fort down and take care of myself.. I am lowering my expectations and working very hard at it to change my belief system. I still have to regroup and refocus alot but I'm making progress.
