Hello, my name is Vincent. Very excited to be here again.
The first time I had purchased the program was back in 2006, I was 18 years old. My mental condition led me to believe at the time that i had some generalized anxiety. So after seeing a commercial, I purchased the program. I was very thrilled to learn that others were going through the same thing I was and came through it. But unfortunately, after a few weeks of feeling better I swiped it under the rug and went on with life. Which was a huge mistake. Prior to this, I had such a hard grasp on the condition that I dropped out of high school for fear of what others thought of my condition and sought out a psychiatrist and a therapist. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 and general/social anxiety which is still very informative to hear. Yet for many years I have been through a dozen medications, many different professionals ,I still feel like I don't have those necessary skills that are described within this program. I believe I have those personality traits described in this chapter as perfectionism, high expectations, or being a people pleaser can contribute to my social/ general anxiety. As for my bipolar, regulating my moods is very important, so related to anxiety, my stress needs to be managed better. For these reasons I am so glad and thankful for remembering that this program exist. Thank God. I hope to finish chapter 2 now, wish me luck!!
