I just started this program last night. I have anxiety every day. I am hopeful that this program will work for me and i will be able to get back to my oldself or a better new me. The anxiety interrupts my everyday life and i have it every day at work. I enjoyed the relaxation tape. it worked good for me and i slept good.

Hi Laurie. I just started to and did session one just now then signed up on the forum. I have had disabling panic and anxiety attacks for about 3 years now 2 to 3 per day even with my meds that the doctor prescribed. I had general anxiety most of my life before then but it had just gotten so bad and unable to deal with. I have a counselor and psychiatrist but they seem to just be telling me things to mull me over till the next visit. My counselor isn't teaching me what I want to know and my doctor isn't understanding so I really hope this program is going to help me. I also have like this crazy addiction to sugar so I hope I can at least tone down to getting some sugar free things then go from there. I haven't tried the relaxation tape yet. But I will soon. Nice to see someone started around the same time as me.

Hi Anna,
I too have just started the programme, have not used relaxation tape as yet. It has been a difficult past few weeks, my anxiety level is sky high and my meds has stopped working. I only have anxiety attacks when I am driving.
Trying to be positive, hope programme helps.
Wish all os us success.
Denise

Hey everyone! I have started today on session 1 and workbook. I am excited for this program and hope that it really makes a difference in my life. I've been on the roller coaster for 10 years now! I have learned how to cope with the anxiety better than before when it all began but I want to take control of my life an just simply be. I have anxiety when it comes to being alone or driving. It's gotten so bad if it wasn't for my boyfriend I don't know how I'd get around. It's been a good 3 years since I've driven on the highway and even in my own city! I really hope the tools I learn in the next 15 weeks help!!

Tucansam
I have had anxiety about 10 years. And now realized I had mild anxiety throughout times in my childhood & teen years. I did not have a name for it at that time. I changed my personality to cope & hide the feelings. Young adult life I did good because I wrapped myself around my children. Everybody so was busy talking to them I was able to hide behind them. I will be 50 in May. These least 10 years have been difficult. I am just now getting where I can go into a store. I will have so much anixety driving when I started home I would pull my shoes & socks off & bra. Or when I walked in the door change right then into something loose. I have tried so many things, but I can already see these tapes are going to help me.
