Hi I am ronnie44 this is my first time logging in. I started the program on Monday of this week.
I have been working the program, and I am feeling a little more relaxed after listening to the relaxation CD.

HI Ronnie !!

I was in the same boat as you back in Feb 2007.. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. After listening to just the first session in the course made me feel so much better.
I know you must feel you are in a thick cloud right now not knowing what direction you are going and more importantly when you get out but you definately will and be stronger in the future.

Depression - you have to catch those negative thoughts and reverse them into positives. It's just a bad thinking pattern you have trained your brain into doing
Do the exact opposite thing your brain is telling you .. i.e. I don't really want to get up early and go for a walk. (force yourself to do it)
Anxiety - I had panic attacks.. Once I got over the fear of being affraid I was able to be in control. An part of the secret is not to be in control and 'ride the wave'.. I am sure it doesn't make too much sense to you now but it will. I am sure in the near future something will 'pop' in your thoughts and it will all be clear..

wish you the best of luck and be patient, like anything healing takes time
