Does this program work?

Hi everyone my name is Tonja. I am 29 years old and for the pastfew years I have been on medication for depression and anxiety. I have finally felt like there was no light at the end of my tunnel and I happened to see an infomercial about this program one night on TV. I am seriously considering it though. My marriage is falling apart because of my depression and I feel like I am falling into a dark tunnel and if I wait too much longer there may be no way out. I have three children who are affected by this also. I feel like they are losing their mom. I can't even get off the couch some days. I was at church every time the doors were open the past 7 years, but now hardly ever go and when I do I am overwhelmed by guilt from all the services I have missed. I really need something that is real and tangible and that will work in my life. I hope this is the answer but I would love to hear if this has worked for anyone else.. Thanks

I went through this program last summer and still read posts from time to time. I was also in a big depression and saw this program on an infomercial, and ordered it. I have 4 young kids and my marriage was also falling apart. My experience with the program is that it did work. It gave me the tools I needed to get stronger and feel better. I have suffered from anxiety mostly and last summer was the first time I admitted to it causing depression. I too could not get motivated and felt defeated. I will tell you that my marriage is still not completelt better but the program helped me to look at myself differently and feel more confident and more positive within myself. I can do things guilt free and I feel stronger and more confident in myself to realize I was the one that needed to make a positve change in order to be happy. I say do the program but commit to doing it completly (relaxation tapes and all homework etc.). My bad days are ALOT less now. I have begun to review the whole program a few weeks ago because Im always afraid of going back to the old place again. Hope this helped a little. Hugs Nicki

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have struggled with low self esteem most of my life and that only deepened the depression. Now I weigh 40 lbs. more than I ever have and every day an uphill battle. I feel so encouraged to know I am not alone and know that others struggle with anxiety and depression. When you feel like you are all alone you kinda feel like you are just going crazy.. Thanks again..

Hi Tonja,

You are not alone, not by a long shot! We all know what you are feeling.

I have finished the course, but still come here and also study and listen to CD's because I am now able to see that I am depressed. I overcame the out of the blue panic attacks after Lesson 2, and the rest of the course just reinforced positive habits for me. Yes it works! There is one catch however, and that is you have to do what it tells you to do. Some of the lessons I spent 2 weeks on because I found them harder. I went at my own pace and just followed the instructions. I am so much better - I am truly thankful to Lucinda and everyone on here who has helped me with awesome feedback and assistance.

If you are serious about getting better, and you are willing to dedicate a good amount of time to it, the program works. It is like anything else though you must make the positive attitudes and self talk a habit.

Blessings,
Jackie
