Wayne, I don't know where you are in this program. Each week you spend working the program, you develop new methods of coping with your issues, and you put new tools in your fix-it tool box. I began Session 12 last evening, and the amount of help this program has been to me in overcoming a serious depression cannot be described in words. The best encouragement I can offer is to do this, stay with it, and when you get those open space worries, go back and review Session Two. Some good tips there for you. And don't forget the carry cards. Very good tips there you can keep in your pocket. Good luck.

Good Morning =) It is important for you to always remember that these are just thoughts and no more than that. I had to go through this as well and the more you realize this the better. Things do get better, I promise! Hang in there!
