Can I really live the life I want to?
Can I really live the life I want to? If so, how? How do I get away from these panic attacks when they suddenly seem like an everyday routine and it feels weird without them? I try to visualize myself without anxiety and I just can't seem to. Whatever I think of, I think of me having anxiety, like there is no other way around it, Like it will always be holding me back from doing fun, joyful things. What if I go insane? What if I don't get rid of these anxiety attacks and have them for the rest of my life? :Those are my everyday thoughts. How can I change them around when I've said them to myself for years? I've tried to think of a time when I was panic attack free and the sad part is, I can't remember half as many memories as I can with panic attacks. I feel depressed and alone, and fears of losing control and going crazy.. even hurting a loved one when I know I never would, but feeling like it might be out of my control and my body will take over my mind. Its scary and I really would like if someone could give me tips or advice on how to help with my anxiety. Please, if you know anything, reply to this & thank you. I hope we all overcome our anxiety disorders and live normal lives like everyone else!

The best advice I can give you is to stick with this program. I've been in it for 5 weeks now and it has made a dramatic difference in my life. I had panic attacks for the past 20 years along with anxiety and depression for most of my life. Just before I started the program, I was at the end of my ropes. I was ready to succumb to this condition and give up completely. I had constant worrying about everything I thought about. Feared just about everything I tried in my life and feared losing control to going insane. The biggest and most intense fear that would never leave my thoughts was the fear of death. Here it is just 5 sessions later and the worrying is gone and although I still think about death from time to time it does not scare me. My other fears are just about gone. Don't get me wrong I still have setbacks but I recover from them quickly. I eliminated caffeine and sugar from my diet and that reduced the anxiety and depression a great deal. You will recover too just stick with the program. It may not seem like it now but you will get better. Before this program, if any one would have told me that this program would change my life for the better I would have never believed them. I am living proof that life will get better. Good luck and hang in there. We are all in this together.-

All you have to have to start getting better is hope. That's what a wise man told me. He said that even if you only have the hope that it doesn't get any worse, that's a start. Can someone explain to me about this program I keep hearing about? I only use the forum on here. Do I need a book or cd or anything? I heard a commercial saying that I could get a free cd from this Lucinda woman. Any advice?
