Hello All,
My name is Tye Green and I'm new to the message boards. I actually got my attacking anxiety program back in 2003. At that time I was severely agoraphobic. The program helped me get out of the house, get a job, and start a new life. I recently ordered the program again as I've lost my previous program materials because I have started having panic attacks more often. Plus, to be completely honest, I did not use the program to my full advantage the first time. I skipped chapters that scared me; specifically the chapter in which we're supposed to write down our bad thoughts and replace them with good thoughts. I listened to the CD, and a woman on there had a heart attack. At that time, and even now, I cannot hear about someone else's health issues because I immediately think that it's going to happen to me. It causes me to panic for days on end; like I can mysteriously get that health issue just by knowing about it.
This time when I receive the program in a few days I know it will completely help me to change my thought patterns that have kept me in lingo for the past 6 years. I cannot stay in the situation I'm in. I desperately want to start to enjoy my life, and not think that every second of everyday something bad is going to happen.
I still cannot go into malls, grocery stores, or any other store that has a line. Sometimes I have trouble driving to and from work. And recently, I had a few panic attacks at work. I'm scared, I'm confused, and depressed. I was seeing a therpist for about two years, and last week she suggested that I take some type of medicine for my panic and anxiety. That's when I decided to purchase the program again, and to use it to its full potential.
When I started the program 5 years ago, I had gotten to a point where I could create and enjoy relationships. Now, I'm having a hard time explaining to my spouse the issues that I have with anxiety. I kept it a secret in the beginning, but when we got married I had to tell the truth. But, the deeper I go into the fear, the more confused my spouse gets; not understanding how this could be such a big problem.
Today, I tried to go to work. I got in the car, pulled out of my driveway and instantly I was in that fear. The kind of fear that dehabilitates you. I began to shake, and feel like I needed to get out of my car and run. I pulled over, took a few deep breaths and got it together long enough to turn around and come back home. I cannot stop crying as I had to tell my job that once again I will not be in.
Sorry for venting, I really just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to you all. I'm looking forward to reading more of the posts and hopefully finding some relief for my problems.
