I think we were all there. I know my results frightened me.

Your running is over, there is no reason to run. Running only keeps it going. Confront it head on. Do you have the program? I do and it has personally helped me. I also got Lucinda's books. If you are not sure about the program, get her books, they are on this website or on amazon.com used. I got my used. You can feel better. The forums and chat are here as well; the people here are so kind and have been or are going through this. You are not alone. You have found a place were you can relate and get support if you have questions.

There are so many options out there for help. I got this program, take meds and see a therapist. Overload? NA!!! Do seek hekp in the ways you feel comfortable and in the way that work for you.

Well wishes! LizB

Hi and welcome! You have come to the right place. A place where people understand what you are going through and how you feel. It's nice because you don't have to explain and you will truly feel accepted for who you are

About the assesment you know I still to this day have not been able to take that

due to anxiety. I have the program and I'm on week 8 and I can't begin to tell you the difference it has made in my life. Yesterday I went to the dentist which trust me is one of my biggest fears. I could not go prior. I have taken some of the assesments in the program though and those were alarming to me. Then I just said well what were you expecting? I also had to remind myself that through the program I CAN change. I think it is really hard to stop and really admit to just how bad the anxiey and or depression is which is the hardest step but also I think the first step to getting better. No more running! I hope this helps and please keep in touch. There are brighter days ahead trust me

Take care

I'm wrestling with anxiety and a little bit of depression. My head in not clear. I feel I'm spinning. I don't even know what I enjoy doing anymore. I feel guilty that I don't feel connected to my husband and my daughter. "What do I do?"

I'm new here too. I just finished my assessment and my results are pretty bad as well. Most of them severe. I went to Walmart yesterday, pulled up in the parking lot and parked (parking lot was pretty full). I couldn't even get out of my car to go in. I am extremely self conscious and I start freaking out if I have to go into a store.If I have to go in, I wear sunglasses. I'm starting session 1 today for the first time. I have no energy to do the things I use to do. I'm tired all the time. It's bad. real bad.

Hi Ben, things should get better for you as you post here. I'm sorry you had a hard time at Walmart. I don't like going in there on any day, but use to do fine a couple years ago. It just has gotten more crowded. Paislee
