Has anyone else done this?

Hello,
I purchased the program and started on a good note but, haven't listened to the DVD's in about a month. I have terrible anxiety right now (My Mom is very ill) but, can't seem to find the motivation to get started again. Was wondering if anyone else has done the same. Thanks.

Ruby -

First, I'm sorry to hear about your Mom and hope she improves soon. Second, what you're describing in very common. In fact they even have in the guidebooks that people often have trouble moving from Sessions Three to Four.

There's a post on this same forum that I believe is titled "Having Trouble Getting Started" or something very similar. Scroll down on the main page and I'm sure you'll find it. There's lots of others that have gone through the same thing you are and you may find their posts very helpful.

The other thing I want to remind you is that you have a choice to make. You didn't choose to suffer from anxiety and depression but you do have a choice to recover. It's up to you to decide when and how quickly. I'm not saying this in any sort of demeaning way, but just to help you find your self motivation.

Best of luck,
Jamie

I found the post for you. It's actually called "I'm Afraid to Even Start!" Below is a link to the post.

I just wanted to say thank you for the responses. I will try my best to get back on the program. Sure hope it helps! I wish the best of luck to all of you who are struggling with anxiety/depression. It's a terrible thing to try to get through. I'm single so I don't have that extra support so many of you are lucky enough to have in your life.
