Stress Center Peer Support

Hi there. I have had anxiety for 18 years. Does anyone know what it feel like to come home with am ambulance sitting outside your house and you want to jump our of your skin......but there is no alarm? That is how I felt for 18 years.....I stopped working because of it, I barely get by just to take care of my 5 year old who has missed school because of this.....I have missed out on family events, social gathering with friends YOU NAME IT because I felt like that 24/7. Imagine I have a degree in Psychology and I could not figure this out. I read every book out there in fact I ordered this program 15 years ago and it did nothing for me. I ordered a new one.....and this time I was determined to do what it says...DETERMINED.......because we never really believe it's anxiety we think it could be something else......how can someone feel so horrible 24/7 like their body is on alram mode/afraid all the time.....unbearable to do anything??????? Generalized anxiety not for me they should call it HEIGHTENED ANXIETY 24/7.......by system is so sensitized to these symptoms.......but hey........after week two and applying, applying applying........staying calm even though the body feels alarmed (now its use to it and will do it automatically because its been trained to react that way)...I am seeing results................this weekend was my highschool reunion I DID NOT WANT TO GO FEELING WIERD.........last night I went felt oh awful.....today I went for the school tour....awful.........tonight I went and for the first time in years while accepting calmly those yucky horrible symptoms I had my first 6 hours straight with no symptoms for the first time in years.......I have so happy I want to share with you all....throw yourself into this and trust and apply the information even if part of you doesn't really believe that it is anxiety........do it.....stay calm calm no matter how you feel and you will soon see RELIEF until the hours because days and the days years.............GOD BLESS US ALL....let's keep going here ....we got to work the program........so work it.....trust me it works.........WHEN YOU WORK IT........BE ENCOURAGED THERE IS SO MUCH HOPE even with people who have the condition as badly and limited with life as I was.........I am opening the door to the prison I hope you all decide to trust the inform. enough to know that IT WILL WORK FOR YOU TOO..........no one could feel as bad as I do for years straight 24/7....so if I can take a risk and believe SO CAN YOU........lets keep going NO DOUBT.....just do it.........face the fear and do it.......

Hello!I have also been where you describe.High anxiety to the point of housebound.Felt terrible in my house also.I'm pushing through!I started out with baby steps but now I'm stretching myself further.I couldn't even be around my dad for a year because I would go into instant panic around him.He's 78 years old so this was crushing me not being able to see him.I love him very much.Well last night I went to his house where my granddaughters first birthday party was and saw him.I had no panic!It goes to show that we CAN do the things that at one time we thought were impossible.I'm so proud of you for seeing that you know longer have to live in that prison that you describe.None of us do.We can all walk out of it.Like you said alot of it is determination.Let's keep pushing forward and don't look back!Take care!
