Hey guys, I'm a first timer here. Rocky I feel your pain bud when your in the middle of it it just feels like hell trust me I know. Thats why I am writing this at 1:30am when I should be sleeping. I have done the program before about 5yrs ago, and it did wonders for me I was able to get on a plane which was huge for me and things were going pretty well(I still kept a confined world but things were better). But this summer has been a tough one it has snuck back in, in all honesty when I did the program I quit at about week 10 I think,(thought I had it all sorted out and the positive talk and some of the stuff seemed a little fluffly) but I now see that I need to attack this head on and with an honest effort right til the end of the program. I am in a similar situation as you Lisa, I have young children and cry just thinking how much I don`t want the same for them and don`t want to shorten their horizons. So I am getting mad aswell and I think it is good for motivation. I don`t blog so this is new but all you people sound like great amazing people and we don`t desevre this suffering but I do believe great changes come out of our trials and God wants better for us if we can just take one step at a time. By getting up and taking some time to do this and stepping out of the hole I was digging for myself lying in bed obsessing, I feel better and I have weathered the storm and will go get some sleep. I look forward to chatting again.

Hey everyone, this is my first time on here too. I just received the program in the mail and have yet to start lesson 1. I have been dealing with anxiety on and off for over 3 yrs and it's starting to really frustrate me. It is great to be able to come onto this forum to share similar problems and have the support of so many wonderful people. I have been struggling with all of the same symptoms of you rockyranger90 and they will come and go with no warnings. I have been trying to figure out for the past year what the causes are and if I can figure out when I will have another panic attack but I can't seem to find any answers. The one symptom that has been really bothering me lately is this feeling of weakness in my arms and legs when I wake up. The weakness comes and goes throughout the day and sometimes I feel so weak that my legs will give out from underneath me. Has anyone else felt this before? I am going to go get a medical check-up but doctors just keep saying its anxiety related, the heaviness and weakness feelings in the limbs. I usually have enough energy to get through my day but lately its has been harder. I am looking forward to starting the program and feeling some relief from it and trying to work hard to reduce the panic attacks and the worrying.

Rockyranger90 I would suggest you might want to go see a Neurologist, it sounds like it could be neurological. I don't want to scare you, but I had a stroke at 32 and some of your sympotoms sound like it could be a mild stroke. I'd go get it checked out if I were you. Do you have any numbness on either side of your body? Just to be safe and put your mind at ease a nerologist can rule out stroke very easily.

Hey Jimmy--it was great to read your blog. Your thoughts are very positive. Not sure how old your kids are, but mine are at the ages of starting to notice my avoidance behaviors and questioning them. My 13yr old wants to know why I don't like to drive long distances on the highway. She is aware that it makes me uncomfortable, but has no idea the degree that it does. That's hard, because I feel like a failure in my child's eyes. We live an hour away from family and we don't go visit unless my husband is off of work to drive us. How embarrassing! I'm trying to work hard at the program and am praying that God is with me on this. I know that he is and I do believe he doesn't give us more than we can handle..it's just hard to remember that in the middle of panic attacks and negative self talk.
