I just got the program, because I have been afraid of everything for a long time. When I stopped going in stores and into any public situation, I knew I had to do something. However I have started the program, but all I can seem to do when I listen to the tapes is cry. I feel so overwhelmed and a little skeptical. After all I am 21 and have suffured with this since I was a small child. I have been on tons of meds, and to almost every therapist there is. Is it normal to feel this way? Help?

It is okay to be skeptical at first. I know I was. I also cried alot the first time I started to do the program. The reason for that is because we finally feel that there are alot of people out there with this condition. My advice to you is to just dive in there and see what happens. I used to get panic attacks on a daily basis,but I don't anymore. It will take time but it does work. You will see that if you devote your time and energy to this program it will change your life forever. If you have time to sit there and be anxious well then you have time to devote to yourself for getting better. take care of yourself Max

Chromefairy,
Yes it's so normal to cry when you listen to the tapes. In time you will cry less and less. In the beginning I cried for a ton of reasons. I cried because I couldn't believe my ears.There were other people going through or had been through what I was going through. I cried because I was happy,sad,confused at times. I cried because I was so excited I had finally found help that I knew was going to change my life forever.Many times I would just sit and sob for a long while. Almost like I was grieving it was hard to explain and still is. I still go through my times with anxiety. But now I can manage it and control it. I didn't mean to go on and on and it's hard for me to put into words how I feel about the program but I promise you it works and you will be fine. I wish you well
