Hi!
Posting is new to me so please bear with me. I started suffering from anxiety/panic/depression back in 2000 after my father died. I worked really hard in conjunction with the program, therapist and medication and got better. I have been medicine/therapist free for at least 5 years. Then 2 weeks ago BAM out of nowhere I got slammed with anxiety again. I am so exhausted. I had 2 good days in that time and I know when I feel fine that my irrational thoughts are just that irrational, but when I am in the panic momement I feel like such a horrible person. I started the tapes again and I have a therapist appointment. I know it is a temorary situation, but it feels like forever when you are going through it. I feel a bit like I have failed because I thought I was 100% for all these years. It started 2 Monday's ago, that following Thursday my husband was having surgery to reverse his vasectomy which we have been planning for over a year. Now I think what if I screw up my child what if I have anxiety throughout my pregnancy, what if I get depressed afterwards. I think this is the underlying cause. Also, my grandfather died in January and I know my fathers death was a trigger the first time, so this could have something to do with it also.

COCO-You have a lot of reasons to feel anxiety. You are planning on having a new baby. You have had people in your life pass away that you were close to. This feeling is normal. Remember YOU control your thoughts. Everybody has anxiety. You have come to the right place for support. Do you have the program?

Yes I have the program. I am trying to focus, but my mind is constantly racing day and night. There will be times that I feel totally normal and happy, but unfortunately the majority of my days is spent with worry, guilt and all the nasty symptons that go with that. This morning I actually vomitted and blood came up. I just wish I could be where I was 3 weeks ago feeling normal and happy again. I am thinking of repurchasing the program since I have the audio cassetts, not sure if there have been any revisions to the program since I purchased it 7 years ago. I am also considering medication again.. I really didn't want to do it, since we want to have a baby, but I think I should become well mentally before I get pregnant.
