Stress Center Peer Support

Hi My name is Daneen this is my first post. I just started the Lucinda Bassett program in hopes to find peace of mind as we all do.
I have panic disorder , anxiety and alittle bit of depression for 27 years off and on. I can sometimes go months or even years without them. But when I do have them I can bearly function I have them all day every day for weeks,months and even years off and on. My fear is going crazy more than anything. Im afraid of the attacks and obsessive thinking so I make them come on! Its crazy to think I do this to my self. Im afraid of being afraid! It becomes a cycle. I was wondering if anyone else has the same symtoms as me?

Welcome, Daneen!

First of all, congratulations on purchasing the program. I also have panic disorder which progressed into agoraphobia a few years ago. I think we all suffer with obsessive thinking as it is part and parcel of most of the anxiety disorders. I recovered with the program a couple of years ago then got very ill and had a whopping relapse. I am working on regaining my freedom and health now. This forum is a wonderful resource for advice and support. You will find that you are not alone in any of your symptoms. Start the program and do the homework. It's not a quick fix but nothing worth doing or long lasting is, right? lol

The "find" tab along the top is great for searching for specific topics.

Again, welcome, and congratulations on your start to recovery.

Welcome Daneen!

I too am new to the program. I just received it in the mail 3 days ago. And I'm already learning a lot about myself that I didnt realize what it was. Now at least I'm have a name for whats going on and has been for years. I had a panic attack at least 13 years ago; then some years later another one at work, which freaked me out! then nothing until a month ago. My doctor didnt even know what was wrong with me. I know the Lord led me to this program. I found an ad on tv, a channel I never watch. And now I know I'm on my way to a complete recovery as I pray are you too.
