It was hard for me to finally start the program but I knew I wanted to get better and feel better. I suffer from panic disorder, generalized anxiety, and depression. As I listened to the tapes I found that lots of the people in the program were older than me, I have been suffering from this, that I know of for a couple months however I feel like this has been following me for a long time it just now hit me. At times it's hard to stay motivated because this problem makes me feel like a complete different person opposite from what I was. Does anyone share any feelings with me?

I can definitely relate to some of your issues. I am 60 years old and have been dealing with bipolar and depression for 40 years. The anxiety has developed in the last 3 years and seems to be getting worse. I was recently hospitalized and came out with good ideas of how to keep in balance. But as the days have gone by my motivation has diminished. I have found it very difficult to stay with the daily program work and am still on the lst session. I, too, was a different person 30 years ago and I still grieve that loss. Don't get discouraged by the number of years I've been dealing with these disorders because up until recently I have failed to accept responsibility for my healing, something which you have already done. Keep up the good work.
