Has anyone tottaly stoped anxiety meds? And if so how did you do? Did you have problems at first or what? Thats the one thing that scares me the most. I remember what it was like before I ever got put on them.

I have the book and am about to start listening to the tapes, I want to use this community, and the lesson guides on here. I'm wondering how it all ties in with each other? Is there someone I can speak to on here? Are the lessons clearly defined on the tapes? I don't have a tape player in the house yet you see!

I have just started the program and finished lesson 4. I am fascinated that I can have a conversation with myself! I can treat myself well or badly! I can choose what I think about anything. What power and freedom. Why have I chosen to treat myself so badly in the past? How can one part of me talk to another part of me? Does mind talk to spirit? Where do my own expectations for myself come from? Who measures? Do I judge me? I am excited to explore this dual aspect of my mind as I go through the program. I listen to the program and pause it when I must to write down a thought or take a break because there is a lot to meditate on in the exposing of the inner workings of my thought patterns. It is taking a lot of reflection on my part to see how my mind chooses what to believe about a situation. I will plod slowly through the material and mine it for every nugget of wisdom I can grasp. I am very happy I was up late and saw the infomercial. It is an answer to prayer. My insomnia has benefits. I willshare the program with everyone I believe can benefit from it. I will pay for it but others will have it for free. It can also be donated to a local library if one chooses to share it in that way. I wish you all healing as we travel this road of self discovery together.

not shure this program will work for me. I am a 63 year old male. I have held myself back for fear of failure. I over analize everything. If there is another gentleman that can relate to this drop me a line. Thankyou. Sparky

Here are a couple...

1) If the program is recommended by Group Health Cooperative HMO, is it covered by them or any other health insurance?

2) Are there counselors and/or peer support groups available in any cities where people can physically get together and have discussions about weekly topics?

This Program definately should be provided to schools as Jane Stewart stated. As a college student I know many people that are placed on anti-depressant drugs as a means of coping. It's hard starting off on your own and dealing with the problems life throws at you. Especially when you try and try again to overcome them. BUt I think that this program teaches skills to face them and accept the results, whatever they may be.

I have no questions or answers right now that I want to enter. I've had the program since the first part of summer but have been to doctors and admitted to the hospital for major depression (diagnosed). I know it's difficult to believe that I've had this program this long without really getting into it but, after the first couple sessions, I quit; reasons being mostly that I felt quilty taking up the time with it when I had so many other things that I should be doing such as cleaning house, bookwork, etc. Mainly what I want to say is that you have so encouraged me as I have sat here reading every one of these posts since the beginning of this forum and I thank you all for this. I really want to begin again with this program because I am convinced it is good. Blessings to each of you.

I have just started the prgram. I am on week 2. I don't have a problem with panic but rather anxiety. I get nervous, I don't like to be around a lot of people - they bother me. I tend to worry about what others are doing and judging them - "they are not doing things right; they are breaking the rules; they are rude" - etc. If things don't go the way I want I get very upset and usually unreasonable. I know this is wrong, but I can't stop - when I get angry like that I can't let it go. I am not sure I am in the right place - and even get anxious thinking about going through the lessons. I haven't been writing a journal (I hate writing) I have listened to the relaxation tape a few times - it is nice, but I don't like breathing that way - I am starting to think I am neurotic. I feel like if I am following this program, than I am not in control. I know I need help, but I can't get myself to do these things. I know I am not always pleasant to be around - I guess that is my way of keeping people away. I am not sure what to do.
