Hello:
My name is Sylvie and I live in Northwestern Quebec (Canada). I've been battling anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia and depression for more than a decade. I was in therapy (with a psychologist) from 1991 to 1998 and am taking Xanax to control my anxiety.
After losing my job in September 2000, my anxiety and panic attacks have increased significantly. I went on-line to Chapter's Canada to see if there were any books out there that could help me NOW because my anxiety was so severe that I was almost housebound (the waiting list to see a psychologist is very long).
I've ordered Lucinda's book "From Panic to Power" only recently and found it to be an amazing tool - after 8 years of psychotherapy you figure that you have enough knowledge to understand and help conquer panic attacks and etc. Wrong... Lucinda's book taught me things I did not know about and made me realise that only people who suffer from this "desease" can REALLY understand what we're going through every single day of our lives <IMG SRC="http://bbs.stresscenter.com/ubb/frown.gif">
I still have severe panic attacks and anxiety but at least I'm no longer housebound - I don't go far, but at least I go out a little and to me, it's a big victory...
No one around here has ever heard of either Lucinda's books or programs and it's a shame because it could help so many people. I spoke to a psychiatrist about it and she had no idea what or who I was taking about - next time I see her, I'll bring my book <IMG SRC="http://bbs.stresscenter.com/ubb/biggrin.gif">
I would like to help others like us by having this book translated into French. But I need your help... If you are interested in helping, please let me know - the editor will not listen to one person but he might listen to a few hundreds of us <IMG SRC="http://bbs.stresscenter.com/ubb/smile.gif">
