I went to my local radio shack, and bought me a cassette player, also...I recorded my own voice, and used my own voice saying every positive affirmation one could dream up...I always used ear-phones, because it worked much better for me...I also ordered the extra relaxation CDs and used them consistently...Over time, I had finally reached that peaceful place...It sure was worth the effort...I enjoyed every moment helping myself...I wanted to overcome those panic attacks, and I used my imagination to come up with new mantras and by using my vivid imagination for my own good; I finally reached my goal!!!! And believe me, anyone who has anxiety and panic has an excellent imagination...Isn't it about time we use our imagination to help us, instead of scaring ourselves???? Positive self-talk, listening to
relaxation CDs, and learning the tools are a must...And accepting that panic attack, and realizing that it cannot hurt you is the key...God Bless...

By the way, Sunset 34...I totally relate to you!!!! I tried it all, and gave it my best shot, and it worked....I was excited about helping myself...I was sick of being house-bound, and not having a life...I wanted my life back, and I worked hard to get it back...I also prayed many, many times...My faith in God sure has helped me a a lot also...Everything you wrote in your forum sound just like me....Thanks for sharing with all of us....

Energy - Thanks!

Ms. T Bones-
Excellent!! It really does make a difference doesn't it?! We are all such creative people, so creative we can self-destruct. I thank God everyday for recovery and I work real hard to say here!!!

Thanks for your encouragement!

I am into my second week of the program. I just read all these posts and I find it really encouraging to hear the success a lot of you are speaking about.
I do not have so much support from my husband.
I have really been ugly and unpredictable to live with for the past 19 years. But with the program , I am starting to see that I wanted him to be my safe place/person, and resented him for not being that. I don't know if my marraige can recover, but I'm starting to believe that maybe I can.

Hello Flicker:
Welcome!!
Your attitude seems very good. I believe that you certainly will recover.
Just do the program and take things step by step.
And trust.
Trust that time heals and repairs when we are doing our work on the program.
It is great to see you here.
Post often.
