Chance, You are very correct in your thinking of a couple of things that you stated .....For one we all feel that OUR problem is the worst. Beleive me . PLEASE believe me. I have been dealing with scary thoughts for a long time. I have not by any means perfected this . But I am starting to understand how and why it works and why we are so afraid, scared , feel like where gonna go nuts . And at its worse how I define depression ( When your mind and body are so exhausted and overwhelmed with worry that your mind breaks down and is very hard to build back up) It is almost like a mind game(depresion) Except you never win. Unless you have tools to identify the root of the problem and be very good at using them.The ONLY way to overcome these fears is by practicing the skills....The reason you are fealing so freaked out is because you keep telling yourself that over and over. I have done it so many times and even recognized what I was doing and still could not stop. I went To a psychologist and he tried to teach me meditation, although now I can see the benefits, then I couldn't even calm my mind enough to get in a meditative state. I couldn't hold a thought for a secoond especially when I was forced to try to. I still have problems getting focussed and if I let off or let my mind wonder sometimes I slip right back in it and wonder HOW? Anyways i just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. And that I really do beleive that this program is going to get me, you and anyone else that commits themselves to it a great tool in handling this.

Chance1 - I think I might be your twin sister. You just described me and my fears to a "T." I could have written this myself. Believe it or not, I am currently dealing with my son having a terrible bout of the stomach flu, and I'm trying to convince myself that it's just another illness. I'm only on the first session of the tapes, so I'm not sure what tools I need to deal with this, but please know you're not alone. Before I looked on this forum, I thought I was the only person in the world with this phobia. It sounds like we're going to learn how to get through it. I'll be praying for you.

thank you so much evryone for your comments and suggestions..thank you justjen2:) i am finding that writing thru my fears is the best tool i have found to combatting them..i thnk writing out the negatives and then finding a positive as a way to work thru the initial negative thought and fear is the best way im finding to deal with any of this. of course i pray and try to read the word constantly..praying constantly and reading the Bible at night or in the morning. i have to understand somehow that God uses our weaknesses and the process of healing for His good. i also know that the devil wants us to be afraid and stuck in our fears with a feeling that we have no way out..so i always tell him he will never win..the Bible says to cast all of our fears on Him for He cares for you..and we need to cast out fear in the name of Jesus. i have found that even if Jesus chooses to let us suffer for a short time ie, or our fear not leaving us right away or us being healed right away, that at some point He will show His face and His mercy..maybe we won't see it right then, but if we watch and wait and listen we will see Him and how He is working this all out for our good and His good and He always workks out little miracles and things along the way and gives us ways to cope and get thru things..he always sends us a friend or maybe one of our children will do something special or sweet..Jesus always shows His face somehow..we need to wait on the Lord..a word i know i dont know or understand..but His time is not our time. i have often felt that to be tortured by your mind and its ways is the worst sickness there is..that i could deal with anything but to not have peace..but Jesus has chosen that we can deal with and cope and He will not give us more than we can bare..
i believe everyone has a cross to bear of some type..ours is anxeity and panic depression, etc..someone else has another burden..i don't like my problems but i do not want anyone elses either. i think that if we can remember and not lose sight of the fact that God is alive and real..that is more than half of the battle.. to know God is there when He feels like He isnt..for He said He would never leave us nor forsake us.."faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." im so thankful for lucinda and her program..it has already given me so many ways to learn to heal and be restored..and remember..it was because of her pain that she wanted to help others to heal and was given the capacity to do it..so if we let God and pray He will open up something specail for us too, because of our weakness. Jesus never wastes anything..He will use our fear for His good..
remember..write write write...and study and listen to your cd's step by step it will heal us..i have been on session 1,2,& 3 forever..making sure i learn it..i know that sometimes they do like us to listen to session 10..if that is the scary obsessive thoughts..
