Over the last couple years I've been suffering from what has now been told to me are anxiety attacks. They started about 2 years ago and have control my life in aspects of inability to drive, eating at restuarants, shopping, and has threatened my job. I am only 27 years old and I am so down that this has happen to me in some of the prime years of my life. My wife and I have seperated over other matters, but I know my anxiety issues didn't help the cause. I have been to doctors, ER's, taken countless tests, tried multiple medications, and put myself in a financial hole trying to overcome this disorder. I just bought the program and feel like this is a last resort and plan on putting full efforts into in testimony. I'm looking for some advice and closure to my problem just like everyone else. I wish everyone the best on there venture and would like to hear from anyone who can relate and lend some support to the finish line. Thanks! Tony
Hi Tony!
Congratulations on taking such initiative in dealing with your anxiety! The program is extremely helpful. It takes a lot of courage to make such an important step, and you should be proud of yourself! Hopefully you're starting to feel better already now that you know that your problems are related to anxiety--I know that it helps me to be able to put a name on something rather than just worrying about what's going on.
Good luck with the program! You can do it!!

I am glad you posted and shared some of your
struggle. Scroll down to the thread topic called TRIUMPHS and read those. Those are stories of people who have gotten better
succesfully using this program. I like to read it when I get down or discouraged. I am on week 6 and I am learning to face my issues. The program and prayers have been my sanity
Keep posting and I look forward to seeing
you in chat again.

I've suffered with anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, and depression for over 20 years now, and I'm not that much older than you. I can completely relate to your frustrations about losing so much time. The one thing that I've learned throughout my journey with anxiety is that there isn't an easy fix. You have to face your fears. I know how hard this is, because I'm having to do it myself. But I'm finally starting to make progress and am noticing that some of my fears are starting to lose their grip on me. I'm glad that you started this program because it will aid you facing and fighting your fears with all of the information and coping techniques provided. It won't always be easy (that's an understatement), but there is hope and we can all get out of this hole.
Be well,
Jamie

Hi, I am also just starting out. I have finished my first week. I have been dealing with anxiety, fear and worry for about a year and a half due to what I call my perfect storm which is a long story. I am willing to fight with all that I have and give this program a try. I am feeling desperate and looking and praying for a miracle.I am willing to work hard for it. Good luck to all out there looking for a miracle too.

MLB, I've been dealing with anxiety/panic since I was 12 years old. Never knew what it was until recently and the program has helped a great deal. The biggest challenge is in allowing yourself to feel. Anxiety is quite normal and for us that struggle with anxiety, it really is in how we've learned to cope, or not. Work on it one day at a time, one moment at a time. We're in this together....
You'll come to find this board provides much support and guidance. Good luck on your journey to peace and tranquility. Those of us that have felt better, know how good life can be. Best wishes...

I am a 29 yr old guy and also in the "prime of my life" as you put it, i can definitely relate to the frustration. 2 years ago my panic attacks got so bad I had to turn around one day going to work and drive back home. They continued quite a bit. I would be siting at work with my cooworkers in the room and would have a panic attach inside. I could barely concentrate, I would start talking and then forget what I was saying and hope to good i could just finish the sentence with something that made sense. And I had a 4.0 in college, a pretty smart guy, yet I was terrified to the point where i really thought i would lose my job because of the way it made me be.
I got the program 3 years ago and after about 4 months, my panic attacks went away and never came back. Also, after about a year, my depression went away too. That was the best part. I havent felt depressed for a year or 2 now, it's been great. I notice when I stop using the great ideas of the program, i will slip back into some mildly anxious periods, but nothing like it used to be, and nothing that cant be dealth with by simply picking up the CDs again, and putting myself back into the solutions. Stick to it, i remember my doubts when i was in your shoes. Stick too it and it will work, might take a while, but it WILL work.
