I have the program and am half way through it for the second time. I am having an awful problem, I live in a state of anxiety at all times, I am due to return to work tomorrow after being off for a surgery and I am anxious about that. Plus I am having a hard time leaving my house right now...I get in a painc state just thinking about going anywhere. I hate living like this, i want to be normal and to be able to go to stores and out with my husband just for a walk..I have a wonderful husband that does all the shoping and takes very good care of me but i am sure he would like to have a normal wife that can get out of the house and do things..Any suggestions????

I am not sure if this will help but I to always had anxiety all day and all night. I try to tell myself when I get up that I spent all day yesterday anxious something was going to happen or that next panic attack was going to make me crazy. Did it? Nope. Do I want to waste today doing this again? No
I try to tall myself that it is just anxiety and it comes and goes. I try not to fight it anymore and it gets less and less frightning. I still struggle with obsessions. But it has gotten much better. I really loved Lucinda book too. It helped me out big time. Being anxious will never hurt you or make you go crazy it will just waste presious times. Good Luck and I will keep you in my prayers. I wish you the best of luck that this time the program really helps.

Thank you for your response. I agree that panic does waste time, I just wish that I could wake up and not feel anxious sometime, I try to tell myself it will go away and it never does. I get nauseated on my way to work and then i panic because I do not want to have a panic attack at work.Thanks for your prayers and I am going to keep on working on the program and try to get relief.
