I am a mom of 2 and one on the way. and a Christian(which has saved me , truly)..I am on 50 mg zoloft and have been for 10 years....I feel like this year I have started worrying more again and I HATE IT!!! It used to go away quick for the first 5-7 years on meds, but now it is consuming me again. I constantly worry I am sick or have something wrong and it causes serious anxiety. I don't feel like eating sometimes due to anxiety caused by worry or I over react to my kids or husband. The worrying is very obsessive and changes every so many days. I am not sure if the meds are just not working anymore and maybe I should up my dose or something. I started out with these same symptoms along with panic attacks. I hated it then and I hate it now!!! I have the complete series and I am having a hard time sitting to watch the dvds. I know it should be a priority, but life is hectic. Please if anyone has been where I am and can give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
God Bless

Re: new to program and feel like i am relapsing
Hi niccis! I finally sat down and watched to videos today. I've seen them via links from someone here to Youtube, so I didn't get the best picture as one would get from a TV screen. I'm glad I watched all four of them because they were very helpful to see again and I think you will feel better as you try to rewatch the videos and listen to the CDs.
You say you are expecting...maybe that is causing you some anxiety, I know that while I was pregnant and the world was at unrest I felt very anxious. I hope that you get to feeling better and see if you can pinpoint when you feel more anxious as the days go by. Paislee

Hello-
I'm sorry that you are having a hard time. I really like a book called "Freedom from Fear" by Dr. Leibgold. He explains this stuff in a way that is funny and lets you kind of laugh at yourself and not take yourself so seriously. He also doesn't have you focus so much on what the negative thing was and how to change it. Just focus on breathing and using your tools and exposing yourself gradually. I found that it really turned on a lightbulb for me.
I understand your limited time due to kiddies. I have 4 myself, all within 5 yrs. and a week. You can do this. Don't give up on yourself or your family.
If you need a CD to listen to, Dr. Leibgold has www.angelnet.com and you can listen while caring for your kids.
I hope this helps.
