hello everyone
I am so very happy I just completed the program and had my last life coach call today. I can hardly recognize myself. When I started the program 17 weeks ago I was consumed with severe anxiety and frequent panic attacks.
I was having a very difficult time dealing with my 20 yr old mephew who had attempted suicide last March 2007. He had had a very difficult year and I wanted so much to help him out so that he would be well.
What happened though was I made myself so sick with fear and anxiety trying to make him better. I had started the program so many times on my own and just could not stick with it.
Last Dec 07, I contacted the StressCenter.com and signed up for the coach assisted program. I was assigned a phenomenal coach who has helped me tremendously.
As I about to finish the program this past week, my nephew was again hospitalized for what sounds like a pyschotic break from reality.
He had what sounds like a plan to hurt himself and possibly someone else last Wed. Thank God, my family was able to pull together and he was hospitalzied before anything could happen.
What's amazing to me was with these new skills I was able to handle what was a very stressful situation/week and to cope. I did not make myself physically sick with fear and anxiety. I did not completely decompensate like I would have done before this program.
I am so truely thankful to my coach, Toni, and to this program. It's amazing to me how far I have come and I thank God for this program.
I just wanted to share this accomplishment with all of you who have been my support so many times over the last 17 weeks. You have inspired me with your stories and kind words of encouragement. I wish you all peace and happiness. Good luck and God bless.
