Almost cured.

I am posting this to let people know how much Lucinda's program has helped me. When I started the program my anxiety had gotten to the point that it was difficult just to drive to the psychiariast for my first appointment.I was put on a couple of tradozone + then paxil which made things worse. Then we tried Zoloft which helped but it took a long time to build up the doseage as I was very sensitive to increases. This took maybe a year or two with things getting better all the time. The zoloft difinitely helped but so did the program. Learning to let things go + not get upset about things I can not control.I had difficultly eating in restaurants,flying,being in churches,theaters,most crowed areas in social settings. Now I can do all these things, I still get a little anxiety sometimes but know it will go away + just concentrate on my breathing + ask God to give me the courage to get through the anxiety. Right now I am vacationing in Hilton Head,SC. We flew down here,I have been eating out + watched a play yesterday. These are things I could not have done a few years ago. I still have a ways to go but have made incredible progress. I still need to stay positive with my thoughts it is something we all need to work on constantly. After all we are constantly bombarded by negative messages from TV,newspapers,+ negative people.Tune them out + when possible remove them from your life. By the way I also have been reducing the doseage of Zoloft + now on 50 mg which is the maintaince dose + will keep reducing when I return home. With the goal of eliminating it in the next year. plandscaper
