Hi Everyone,

My name is Lori, and I'm from NJ.

I saw this commercial last night on Anxiety & Depression and just signed up for my free trial.

I do suffer from panic, anxiety and depression. It trigger a lot more in the last couple of months and its driving me crazy

My family doesn't know that I'm like this bad because I don't want to get them upset, so I'm trying this on my own.

Also, I have never been to therapy either, I wanted to give this a shot first.

I hope you all out there can give me some words of advice.

One thing I fear most is, I worry about my Mom constantly and I can't take it anymore

Hi Lori,

Welcome and I hope you find the program useful. It really does work.

I understand about worrying about your Mom. Before my Mom went to a special care home, I looked after her every day and it was so stressful and anxious. I am still anxious even though she is there. I guess I can't get used to her not living here now.

Please don't worry about telling people. I think one of the problems that we anxious people have is NOT telling anybody. We tend to hold everything inside and sometimes that makes thing worse. Of course, you have people here that can help and you have made a big first step by posting to the forums.

Also, ty out this site's online chat when you are ready. There are many wonderful people there that are very helpful.

Take care and good luck! Keep on posting!

Thanks so much Flyer99, I appreciate it.
Basically my Mom had a right knee replacement surgery last year, during rehab she had a heart attack...thank God she was at the right place at the right time!
This year she had her left knee done, with a fractured femur a long with it OY!

She is doing ok, but I wish she was a little better, last year she was fine.
This year seems tougher for her...I guess the second surgery recovery takes a lot longer. Yes?

She is also has type 2 diabetes too. Sometimes she feel shaky too, I guess she is just frustrated that she doesn't feel 100% yet.
Plus she has arthritis in both of her shoulders UGH! I doesn't stop

She is only 70 years old, and I'm always thinking something is going to happen to her and I need to stop

Will she be ok? I want to stop worrying about her so much.

*hugs* to you Flyer99, I hope everything goes well with your Mom

Hi Lori, I am new to the program. My name is Glenn and I am from Colorado. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I am a worrier. I have been looking for something to help me get out of this state of mind that I have been in. I feel that I get up to the top of the big can that I am in then I slide back into the depths of dispair. This is the first time that I have been in a program like this before.

Hi Glenn!
I feel your pain, its the worst

I want to be back to my old self again..hopefully that will happen when this program is done!
We are all in the same boat here, this is the first time I have been in this program too!
So, I'm pretty sure it will work for all of us...
Mine should come next week.

Hi guys.
I'm new to the program as well. Glenn and Lori, have you started the program yet? I just started a week ago. I'm still having trouble motivating myself and I'm hoping that this forum will help me.

I just started the program yesterday. I did the introduction yesterday and Session 1 today. I was a little anxious, but I'm determined to beat this demon one day at a time if thats what it takes. I am disgusted about the amount of time this disorder has robbed me of. Now at the age of 45, I want whatever time I have left to be happy, because I deserve it.
