Is This Program for me?

I have recently been struggling with panic disorder. I have not started this program yet, but it caught my eye. I was in a car accident this past February, my husband and I were on our way home from work, hit some slush. The next thing I knew the car was flipped over on the side of the road. As I was trying to get out of the car I realized that my chest and shoulder hurt really bad. As I got out and started to walk around, I got really dizzy and felt very distorted. I was taken to the hospital, after a couple of weeks the found that the only thing wrong was a fractured collar bone. Even though I had been assured that was the only thing wrong with me, I was scared to death that there was something internally wrong, something they missed. Almost one month later, I was sitting on my couch watching television, and I felt like I was in a different place. I stood up to go splash water on my face and almost fell over. I had my husband take me to the emergency room because I just knew I was dying. I knew that this was because of my accident. I thought I was having a heart attack, I could not breath. I fell down several times trying to get to my car. The hospital did not do much. The just sent me home with no answers. I decided to do my own research. I found on the internet a website that explained all of my symptoms in detail. At that time I self diagnosed myself with panic disorded. I made the mistake of thinking that all of this worry and nervousness was just going to go away on its own. Now I am at the point where I don't want to leave my home. I am scared to go camping, fearing that there will not be anyone to help me when I am out in the woods. I am scared to go four wheeling, cause what happens if I fall off the back of the four wheeler and smash my head off a rock? These are the feelings I have constantly... I think of a hundred different ways I could die just taking a trip into town. Does this sound familar to any of you out there? And do you think that I am suffering from panic disorder / agorophobia, or something more? Please help me figure out what is wrong with me...

That sounds like what you are suffering! I have panic diorder and trust me I know the spacey feelings and how scary they are. I am literally terrified of them. I also am a agerphobic. I am more like what if I get spacey in public or think going out makes me feel funny. I do have the program and it has helped a bunch. You can and will get past this but move at your own pace when getting the program. Best Wishes To You! I hoped this helped

Hi Beanzie. I can relate. When you have a life threatening experience, it can stay with you and your mind and body can go into automatic, just because it is part of the survival instinct, I think. The problem is that we don't need to feel like we are about to die in a car accident every time we get into a car, just because we did have a car accident. I have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I have had more than one life threatening experience, including being in NYC on 9-11, and having been frequently terrorized as a battered wife. Then, when I was finally getting my bearings, a series of events required that we move 5 times in 3 years, including across country twice. Then I we lost all of nearly 20 years of savings to a fraud scheme, lost our home, and during this time, although newly married my husband kept leaving me for no good reason during my pregnancy and afterwards. We were living in a city which was 1000 miles from my family and just moved there so there were few friends. I feel like an ass sharing all of this...Then there was a rear end car accident while I was pregnant (we had 3 in three years), and I was particularly nervous because I had just had a miscarraige months before. The point is, my nerves are shot. And, even when things are calming down, I have forgotten how not to be in crisis. That is what I am trying to achieve with this program. So I think you are very normal, and that you just have to reprogram your thinking, and that you have come to the right place. It will take time, but we can feel peaceful again.

Yes, this program is for you! I started with alot of similiar symptoms as you, but mine were triggered from a very difficult birth, my son almost died ( his is fine now). I can honestly say this program gave me my life and my sanity back. It was the best $400 I ever spent. Worth much more in fact. Please know that you are not alone and what you are experiencing is treatable and you can overcome it. This program will show you how to overcome it and give you yourself back.
