i am afraid to calm down as i have too much to do to pass inspection of my apt. having to redo the whole bathroom so the electric heater isn't covered up tho i have the breaker turned off. stupid rules i have to abide by when no one can afford to use it nor is it really safe as this building has power interupt troubles. so still on jumstart and it has been over a week and know how to play the cd now that i read the stereo instruct, but just too damn afraid to lose my excess energy, if i listen to it. Got food and water so don't have to leave my apt for a few weeks, so safe inside but then they come in and invade my space complaining about my lifestyle. why must others judge so much negatively, i do that about myself enough to have to listen to bad reenforcements from others that have control over a roof over my head. afraid i will be homeless again as i have no one to help me, no safe person, and tried chat but it is worthless for me, too much meaningless talk

staying "hyper" all the type is actually a false sense of energy. it will not help in the longterm. in fact, you will burnout.

please use the relaxation tape as much as you can. i was afraid to use it in the beginning--afraid i'd lose track of what i needed to do.

Hi katnips, Welcome to the program. I too am a beginner. I know when I first opened the box I was overwhelmed by everything. I had to close the box up and walk away for the day. When I came back to it, the first thing I did was to listen to the relaxation c.d. It will not take away your energy it will help you. It is not scary, nor is it there to take anything away but to add something. May I ask do you take any meds? Do they help? I am always a tad confused how your medical works in the states. I do have to say you live in a beautiful location. I was there to visit a friend a year and a half ago and went to Venice beach. Be well and write back. Let me know how the c.d. went for you.

don't be afraid of the cd it is short and in my opinion not that relaxing compared to others I have done. the ucure system by dr. caldwell is much more powerful. can get at healthsurge.com, this one is amazing. I had panic attacks when i first started doing it as we anxiety people don't like to relax, and it took me awhile to get through it. Now I look forward to it and I take a nap after and it feels good, so give it a try. I tried running from my anxiety for 8 yrs and finally hit burnout out last may, stop before you do too. take care

okay, it is a big issue, your apartment...but i amsure its not the only thing going for you. do you have a job?
so take some time..to listen to the cd, you do not have to do everything with the program everyday. one day the cd, the next the video, read your cards everyday , though...they do help..read slowly and BREATHE. can you listen to the cd while you do stuff? or justlisten to some CALM music, with no words, whiel you do stuff. and make lists...then prioritize and do ONE thing at a time...until its done!..then be happy about that one thing... and do the program it works..i have completed it..it took me a year and i am different, accomplishying things, one day at at time and i still read the cards ...one day at a time..calm down and you will see things clearly...okay, and i am originally from manhattna beach ca...so take in the sun..love venice...take care and keep intouch.go for a walk and check out allthe people!.
