I wanted to share with yous that I've just purchased the Linden method. I think God was sending me a message. Yesterday, I reluctantly decided that I was going to try Lexapro. I wasn't happy about it nor did I really want to but I felt at wits end with this panic and anxiety. This morning I wanted to do more research about Lexapro and other ant anxiety and depressant meds and 3rd on the list was Lindens message. I clicked on it because I ultimatley do not want to go on meds. And just so you know, I've also recently started the caoching program with a wonderful gal named Toni. She didn't suggest that I go on meds but said it was an option and that I shouldn't beat myself up about it. I first decided to try Lexapro because I saw some posts here saying how good it was. I did some research last night and found other posts on here that said it was bad and hard to get off of and both starting and stopping caused bad side effects. Well, I have enough of my own problems and don't want icky side sffects. So, I want to tell you I'm so poor that I can't hardly afford diapers for my kids but- you cannot put a price on your well being and sanity. That's why I decided to start the coaching program, it's expensive but with an 86% success rate, I'm going to be successful. With buying the Linden program this morning, it's from $109.00 to $180.00 and they offer payment plans and also a 365 day money back guaruntee of the purchase price. I've only just begun going through the stuff, when you order the paper program you also recieve the computer version so you can get started right away. Lindens mentioned one thing that my coach also talked to me about and that is the reprogramming of the little almond shaped organ in your head called the "amygdala", so I knew there had to be something there and that I had to get it. If I'm unhappy, I can return it. Now, it does say that when doing the Linden method, you should forget everything that you've ever learned and heard about anxiety and all because if you don't you'll be constantly questioning and comparing and your amygdala won't believe what you're trying to tell it. Same thing that Lucinda says about your negative thoughts. There's a lot of simularities between the two. I'm going to run this by my coach and still do the Attacking anxiety program w/ coach, but for me, I'm looking at it all as a getting well and healthy change in life. A make over so to speak of my brain and thinking process. It all helps. It also says something that I've been thinking about since I've joined here and that is, "if we constantly come back to here and live here with all our anxietites and problems, we're still constantly focussing on them and dwelling on them and re-enforcing the fact that we are anxiety ridden people, how are we ever going to get to the point where we're not anxiety ridden people?" If you notice, the people that over come this, don't come back here. They don't live here and they don't keep basically telling themselves that there's something wrong with themselves. When there better, they don't come back....Now don't get me wrong, when I've been in trouble, this place has saved me and has offered some terriffic people and ideas, but I don't want to be here for the rest of my life. I'm giving it no more than 14 weeks and hopefully less. By coming here, I'm re-enforcing the idea that there is something wrong with me. I don't know if any of you can understand, but I think so. The whole idea about it all is that"It's all in your head when you get down to it." I'll try to keep you posted on how the Linden program is working. It offers free e-mail and phone support also with Psychologists. So, it's actually pretty good so far, for the money. He has also suffered with anxiety and depression and he has over come it with this exact method. With the program you get his 9 no nonsense (pillars) or ideas that saved him and a lot of visualisation techniques and relaxation techniques. Anyway, I'll keep you posted- wish me luck!

I Am Worth It!

I have also read the Linden Method. It was also good, but I think basically they are all the same. (Change your negative thinking). I have gotten alot of help from reading a Joel Olsteen Book. It is very positive and other people recommended them to me because they helped them alot. I also went to the library and read every book they had on anxiety and found out that they are all basically the same. They want you to do exactly what this program does - but you have to really do it from your heart - not just breeze through it - for it to work. Good luck to you!

Therese - good for you and I know that you can do and overcome this anxiety. I can totally relate to what you were saying about this site - while helpful in most ways, it can be disheartening at the same time.

Anyway, please keep us informed of your progress.

You can do it and is certainly worth it!
