I started Session 3 last night, today I started writting down all of my engative thoughts & I can't keep up with them & not only that, it's making me feel doomed. I feel SO overwhelmed right now, like it's just too much to keep up with but I also konw I NEED to keep up with it or I'll never get anywhere.

I fought a bad panic attack lats night, that was good and proof to myself that I can do this. But oohh I dunno, I'm tired, I've had a headache for two days & right now I'm feeling really beat up on. I'm over analyzing EVERYTHING which of course takes the fun out of everything ~ I really wish I had a switch sometimes, so I could just turn of my brain.

PeaceSeeker...please try to take a deep breath and step back for a moment. You won't loose anything you have learned from session 3. It is a very overwhelming experience trying to catch so much negitivity and thinking if we can get all those thoughts changed immediatley, then we'll be cured. I've been through the program and still listen to the sessions over again. I'm still reprograming my negitive thinking. It is a great session...but its one that will require us to continuously work on. I think I read somewhere along these forums that if you are feeling as you are...so overwhelmed and tired, then just write down a few, maybe 5 or so. Then work on those ones. Getting yourself tired and sick from working too hard on the sessions might prove only to be damaging and not so productive. These sessions are here for us for a lifetime...be gentle with yourself and take a break. It sounds to me that you are reading and listening and applying what you have learned, so you taking a break for day or so won't hurt you. Rest...meditate...breath. Take care of yourself.

My best to you...Lynn

I can really relate to this. And believe me, retraining your thinking is hard work and it does require some time. It doesn't happen over night but stick with it and you will see results soon! You have had the courage to realize your bad thinking and try to reprogram it! That is simply amazing.

Thank you to the both of you for responding, I appreciate it. It was a rough night & a rough few days but things are going SO much better! I get so worked up sometimes that I forget to breath, it's something I am working on & each day that I work on it I get better.

I've also recently started reading a book called What to say when you talk to yourself by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D. ~ at first it kinda scared me but I pushed past the feeling & kept reading, and i'm SO glad I did! His message is fascinating & really encouraging.

Anyhow, thanks again you guys.

Your Welcome Peace-seeker!
