Hi Darla -

It does sound bad. I just want to acknowledge your suffering. Have you considered that using the program might not be a fail versus totally recover proposition, and that that's ok? Imagine what you would be able to do if you felt even 5% less of what you're feeling now. Just begin. Don't sentence yourself before you've even tried.


Hi Carrie -

I experienced a huge increase in my anxiety after beginning the program, and at the time I had some pretty major things going on in my life.

Darla
glad you took the time to post and share where you are right now. When I opened my box I was overwhelmed with the amount of product there was so I put it all away except the week that I was working on. Let me assure you of one thing right away. Anxiety and Panic are results of lies we tell ourselves or belive. Blowing a lot of hot air into our fear. Till it consumes us. I can't speak for anyone else but I have had some horrible and trying and bad panic times but I don't share them. I am more prone to a menality of solitions and recovery rather than the angst. But I do still have the Angst. There's no contest here, none of us are trying to top each other with who has the worst case of Agoraphobia... I bet we'd all think ours is the worst for sure, hands down. Bravo to you Darla for reaching out and chosing wellness and peace and a New way of looking at things. Each day for me is a process, step by step ya know? You will have alot of support here for sure. Keep on coming back and sharing your heart ;)
Take Care
Jill~

I also wanted to encourage you, that once you learn how to stop a panic attack a lot of those other body symptoms are going to go away, since they are all associated with the panic.

When you can release panic attacks from your life, EVERYTHING will be much easier. And the program teaches you how to do it before a panic attack starts, so you can nip it in the bud.

Also when you work on your positive thought replacements that helps enormously as negative thoughts are the roots of panic attacks and generalized anxiety.

I used to have pretty bad IBS and it's gotten very manageable. I rarely deal with it now and I feel very in control.

Thank god this program helps people as "pathetic" as you cuz you and I started at the same place! I, too, took my BP many times a day. And, it was never satisfactory! Have you noticed that? Either my pulse was "too high" or BP was off. I was NEVER happy and very rarely comforted. So, why did I do it? It's a COMPULSION. We are desperately seeking reassurance that we are okay so we compulse and take our pulse or check our breathing or take that BP. My heart is my favorite thing to freak about. A few years ago I, too, went nowhere. And panicked the whole time I was out. I was absolutely MISERABLE. And, like you, I did not believe this program would help me. For people like us hope is a double edged sword. I had it taken from me so many times I found that it was easiest to just let it go. Expect the worst and that way, wasn't let down when things didn't work out for me. That said.... the first steps are the hardest... they are filled with uncertainty, fear, and dread and the worst: "what if this fails? God, what will I do next?" The end of all hope. The program will teach you to see that those very thoughts are garbage! Lies! And, YOU have the power to STOP believing the lies! To restructure with the truth, which trust me, is much MUCH more livable than the hell your mind is putting you in right now.

START THE PROGRAM. Give it a chance. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Within 6 months I had gone back to work (part time) and started driving and going out again. It was hard, sure, but I was able to do it! REach out to God, for He stands ready to help you! Don't judge, just reach and pray. Within a year I was working full time and travelling again. Okay, I wasn't super woman, flying on planes and stuff, but, By God, I wasn't in hell anymore, either!

You are not alone in this and you are far, far stronger than you know. I, for one, am quite looking forward to your future posts where you start getting your life back. Soon, you will be inspiring US!
