You have got to go back to the first page. I could relate to everything she said. I laughed at myself for the first time in a long time!

yeah i bumped the first pages items back one page. I laughed so hard when I read them. I totally related. Especially looking at my cat and wishing I had her life instead..
Laughing at myself has been healing.

I love these. alot really do hit home!!!I do so many of them. I Do Not take any meds. I have managed to take 2 lexapro. (months apart) and after the first one, I thought I was dying. People from church had to come and pray for me!!!!yes, after just one!

I also look for hospital signs on the parkway "just in case"

And the pulse thing, I've checked so much I made my neck sore. THEN worried bcause something HAD to be wrong with my neck for it to be sooo sore.

I used to hate Fridays because if you needed any help then you would have to go to the ER after 5:oo. (don't worry so much about that anymore)

and the list goes on and on. People we ARE walking humor. At least our friends can get a good laugh at us while trying to help us out.

I have suffered with anxiety for 2 yrs now and now it seems it is just getting worse and worse to were I think I will become homebound its all I think about and all my life has became about...I want to talk to something that Knows what I am feeling I feel like no one knows how I am feeling and I am scared and cry about it all the time...I dont go any place that I have a panic attatck at and as far as freeways, dark streets, elevators, anywhere I feel like I cant escape when I need to I avoid and now It seems like if I go anywhere from 5-10 miles away from my house I panic...Help.!!

sounds like your not listening to the program. You need to do the relaxation cd and really listen and place your mind in the scenes they tell you so that you can stop the what if and worry thoughts for a while to give your body a break and lower that adrenaline. I know all too well how hard it is. I am struggling too, but you can't loose hope. Hope and positive thinking and believing in yourself even if you think nobody else does will help. It is mind over matter. Easier said than done, I know. but just take baby steps. start back at the beginning of the program and take your time with it. don't try and rush thru it, and do the exercises. You have friends here who will help. Take care. Do the breathing technique and know you can do it.
