Thank you so much for your encouragement. I truly believe I am at a low, and I don't know how it could get any worse. I have decided against the therapist recommendations, to try to continue to program. I really try hard on the positives, but I can't stop obsessing about the anxiety and when it will go away. In the past it had been a job, or a situation and when I got through it, the anxiety ended. Now I am not sure what will end it. My parents keep saying you just have to let it go and I continue to try - I just feel like I keep failing - I was such a strong and courages person before this last episode and I don't know where she went. I am dissapointed in my self and am letting others around me down. I don't avoid things - I continue work, social events, but feel I am in trapped by my own mind every day. I think I need to go back to session three until I can get this. I pray for everyone on here - and thank you for your encouragement.

Hi Again,
Please don't get upset or angry with yourself as each time you do this it is negative and is also releasing all the hormones you don't need...this is just making the anxiety and depression worse. You may need to do session 3 many times and that's okay. This is about retraining our minds to think so differently than we have for a very long time. This program does work and you will start to feel the difference in your thoughts with time and very hard work. try to think of pictures that make you feel like smiling or something that is comforting to you. These may be very different from person to person. It's a distraction to stop a bad thought or stress. It works if you can believe in it. heck I was so much more messed up than I knew and if I can get to the point I'm at within 8 days of doing my sessions, workbook and journaling you can too. Session 3 is a tough one for many. It was tough for me to get it to sink in...it's a lot and its hard but so worthwhile. You just need to think about yourself now and not worry about letting others down...they will be so happy for you and and proud of you as you start to change and YOU WILL. Be kind to yourself, each and every hour of the day. BELIEVE IN YOUSELF!!!
If you havn't watched the DVD THE SECRET...watch it. It's very uplifting and positive thinking is taught in it. I watched it 3 times before I got this program and had a head start about the effects of being a positive person who truly believes. I know one day very soon you will post about how much better you feel about you and life itself and I will pray for you every day and anytime you are feeling badly just say STOP IT...and think of something you are greatfull for and say THANKYOU for all you enjoy, or have or love. We are surrounded by natures beauty daily. use all the elements to beat this problem and you can only succeed.
I will keep an eye out for your posts and am so willing to help in any way I can.

Deborah

Yes I am one of those, who like you, feel anxiety symptoms 24/7. I can not remember the last time I woke up in the morning feeling relaxed and refreshed. I fight shortness of breath, that feeling of something bad about to happen, edginess, light headedness, disoriented, and when the panic attacks are bad I have that feeling of just wanting to run and hide from everyone and everything. Even the smallest of things can trigger me into a panic attack or feelings of being way overwhelmed. I am severely Agoraphobic at the moment. I haven't been able to get into our car to go to any place outside of town. I haven't been on the highway to another town since the early '90's. I can barely get into the car to go anywhere here in our town as well. When I do talk myself into going for a short (and I mean very short) ride just to try to get myself used to it again I tense up and get so short of breath that that in itself panics me. You would think as long as some of us have dealt with these attacks we would get used to them but each one is as scary as the first one, at least for me anyway. I hope and pray that we can all be healed from this affliction or at least learn to control it well enough for us to start enjoying living again.

God bless and hugs to you,
Susan

I meant to ask you what your symptoms are that you feel each and every day? I also wanted to add that I am 49 years old and have felt the anxiety since I was a very young girl. I can remember waking up not understanding why I felt so weird and then sneaking downstairs and getting an icecube. I don't know why but the icecube was calming for me. I guess it helped to get my mind off of feeling so odd. I had my first panic attack when I was a senior in highschool which started after I got my first migraine only at the time I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that I was seeing weird aura's and lights in front of my eyes, feeling dizzy, and then became very nervous and short of breath. I left the school without telling anyone and ran for home. I didn't tell anyone including my parents what was happening but they knew something wasn't right with me and accused me of doing drugs. I will never forget that day and how hurt and upset that made me. I think thats one of the main reasons I have never done illegal drugs nor like taking medicines period. I became Agoraphobic that day but have had some better years and then fell into bad bad years like now where I can't control it at all. Sorry to ramble on. God bless. Susan

Deborah and Susan,

just knowing someone out there feels or has felt this and overcome makes me feel better. Currently I am on medication - had to go back on and I did not and don't like it a bit, but I feel it helps me function until I can get my brain to help me relax. I have been going back to session three and doing a lot of praying and a bible study group. The bible verse tonight I think applies to all of us here - But Now, this is what the Lord says, he who created you, he who formed you "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaxe. For I am the Lord, your God the holy one of Israel, your Savior.

As for my symptoms, I had a major full blown attack obsessing on weather I was pregn. my husband and I had been trying, but it had also been a first rough year of marriage and I thought oh my god if we are - we are not ready. I was not preg., and was relieved for a short time, then started analyzing that "what if I can't ever be a mother because I felt this was part of what triggered the last episode, which spiraled into depression of being 34 I should be ready and not scared, if I was hoping I wasn't preg. does this (analyzing) mean I do not want kids (which I always wanted a family), but obsessed on why I had felt this and had to get back on meds. The daily symptoms were chest pain, upset stomach, constant obsessive thinking that I am ruining me and my husbands life , may have this disorder forever have to be on medication and childless.

I do feel that pushing my self to go to work ect. has helped me - becuse even though I feel god awful I am still doing bear minimum. Maybe try a walk a couple times a week - think about a small dose of taliking to your doctor about xanax so that when you do drive a little, you will have something to lessen the symptoms to help give you confidence. You don't have to be on meds for life, but I have realized that if I want to at least do the bare minimum I need help sometimes - and I feel like this is why god made scientist, who can help with this genetic disorder. I do believe we scare ourselves, like the program says, but I also feel this is very genetic - I have it on both grandparents side and father has - to certain degree. This is not an excuse, but it helps me feel this is not all my fault - chemical imbalance and negative life experience can alter the mind completely. that is when we need god the most - others that understand to encourage us and faith. Talk about sillyness I have a Masters in Social Work and thought for a long time I could fix my self - sometimes I still do - but we all have things in our life that have strongholds on us and I pray for each one of us that we can get through this.

Good Night Ladies and God Bless, you will be in my prayer!

I am also new here to I just loged in last night. I have had the program for 4mos. I just started taking it more serious. Yes I have symptoms all day every day. I feel disconneted from my body,mind and the world. I am anxious all the time, and the thoughts that go though my mind scare the hell out of me. Sometimes I want it to go away so bad I don't know what to do. The more I do the program the more I think I bring it on and do it to myself. I am so glad I have all of you who know what we go though. It is hard to tell other people they just like at me like I am crazy. So thank you! Looking forword to some great times!

Hello Curtis and welcome,

Please start using the program, it will begin to teach you how to stop all the bad thoughts as you go through the sessions, workbooks and journaling. You will feel so much better in just weeks so long as you take your time, work your butt off and follow the program as it says. Don't rush it, don't quit, it works wonders. I know because I am feeling and doing sooooooooo much better already. We are all here to help each other through the rough times. Read posts and reply to as many as you can...that helps others and yourself.
BELIEVE IN YOU AND THE PROGRAM ....YOU WILL BE TRIUMPHANT!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck,
