Hello again
Another good day today. My sinus infection is better and I got a lot of work done. So this afternoon I drove to the store by myself. My husband met me there on his way home from work.
At 1st I was really anxious and started projecting but as soon as I started the breathing for relaxation and the self talk it went away. Its getting easier and easier to relax while I am out. Things are going well with my food also. Its all in the way we think. Have a good night.

This is what you wrote on the first day (June 18th, less than 2 weeks ago) and look at you now. You just went out on your own. You DROVE for goodness sakes. You must be very proud of yourself!I just dont know if I can do it. I have not been out of my house without my husband for over a year and for the last 3 months not even with him. I know I am supposed to follow the 6 steps and I am doing the relaxation but I cant seem to stop myself from projectiong.
Shif.
If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

I am very proud of myself. It seems so unreal to feel that way. To love myself a little and not to think of how many failures Ive had is wonderful. To look at things in a positive way makes the whole world seem better. I did not realize how much my panic and anxiety were affecting my hubby but I do now. He is so much happier now that I am not suffering. He said it was worse than seeing me in labor with the kids. At least that ends, he was worried that the panic would never go away. He is such a nice fellow, I am really blessed to have him.

I just finishes reading this whole thread and you have inspired me.
All of you have. I am still waiting on my stuff to come.
I tried it once many years ago and only got about half way thru it. I AM going to finish it this time. I have to I want my life back!
I am in a better place now than I was then. I was totally housebound , now I have a better life and have better friends around me and a Supportive husband rather than one that thought little of me.I feel real hope and know that this is a Godsend.
Thank you all for the way you encourage and support one another. I am just blown away!
hugs

Hi Jill,
These people are very inspiring, it is a real comfort to know there are others who go through the same things as I do and they make it. They live their lives and put the past behind them.
I went for a ride this morning. 33.5 miles round trip and had only mild anxiety. I thought to myself about halfway, "I wasted so much of my life giving in to the fear". But then I said" well Ive learned a big lesson and I will take from it what good I can". I know set backs will happen, especially when life gets tough but I have the tools to live through them with a positive outlook. We all can live that way.
Please finish the program,it will help so much. I really feel that if my husband had not purchased it for me I would have ended up killing myself. Keep me updated on how you are doing. We can do it!

Hello everyone,
How are you guys doing? I have had a good week despite my families attemps to ambush me. My 21 yr old daughter and her 2 children live with me and she has a lot of emotional problems. I have tried to get her to see a doctor for counsel but the one time she went she refused to talk(except to tell the doc she hated me)and wont take medication. She has moderate OCD and anxiety and panic disorders. Also living with me is my 2 other daughters who are 16 and 17. They resent the older girl and the kids being here and its hard for me to keep the peace. The babies are scarred from there father stealing them from mom and then a long court battle to get them back only worsened all of our anxiety. The father wont pay child support and the law has not been able to catch him. We have a lot of financial problem and supporting the extras doesnt help. My daughter will not pull her weight and she constanlty blames everyone else for all the problems. She yells a lot and the air is always filled with stress and negativity. I still am doing good. I have been out almost everyday with minimal anxiety and panic but I feel like a failure as a mother and it is making it hard to press on. Hubby cant seem to reach her either so now he is ignoring everything.
