I don't know how to snap out of this. I just keep having the hot tingly stuff and being discouraged by it. I know what I need to do--to just let it go and ignore it. I am so discouraged that it doesn't seem to be getting better. I don't know what I'm afraid of that it keeps pestering me.
maybe because I know I should get into the program and do some work on it. please pray for me to be encouraged and know this WILL get better. thank you pam

Hello Pam,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time right now. There are some days that I would just as soon forget as my anxiety level is high. However, I have learned that it is only anxiety and I try as best I can to let go and think positive thoughts.
I think if you got back into the program and started from lesson one (I am assuming you have the program) and really took it slow and easy that it would help you immensely. Also, as hard as it may be right now, try to listen to the relaxation cd at least once a day (or some meditation music).
You will be okay. It is certainly hard to say what specifically causes these feelings. It is so different from person to person... but these feelings are real nonetheless. We just have to say (as author Dr. Claire Weekes says) that they are "feelings", nothing more, nothing less. And we are the masters, and with practice we can control them.
God Bless and Good luck!

Pam,
I have been there so many times before. I know it's tough at the time to realize this, but my bad days really make me appreciate my good days.
Also, something that has helped me lately - I get SO worried that whatever anxiousness I'm feeling will never go away. That it will stay with me forever (which makes me more anxious). I think back at every single time I had chest pains, headaches, that "tingly" feeling, that hopeless feeling, etc. Every single time, those feelings went away. Now when I start to feel anxious or have pains due to anxiety, I just tell myself that I can handle it because the feeling isn't here to stay. It will be gone before I know it. Thinking this way has actually shortened these anxiety feelings lately
I have prayed for you and will continue to pray that you find strength in God.
Best wishes to you!
