Hello everyone Im in my 2nd day and I feel like Im drawn to this.Ive been mostly reading alot of the messages and its a relief for me just to no that Im not the only one strugling.Ive been trapped in this body for 46 years and cant get out!! I cant express myself, stand up 4 myself,be around people without getting all clambed up inside. I realize now that I do have panic attacks and anxiety. I always feel knotted up inside. This is a good start 4 me cause the breathing exercises are helpig. Just wanted to open up a little, thanks!!

I feel the same way! I can really relate to all those symptoms. Im so tired of it. I too feel positive about this program. Its gonna work!
p.s. Ive also found it is good for us to open up...so keep it up!

Hi! I am also in my second day and feel the same way you do. I can remember a time when I used to be a confident, assertive, and a mostly positve person. However, over the past years I lost those feelings due to various experiences and relationships. Apparently...I just didn't do well with coping. Now I have no self-esteem, confidence, am not able to stand up for myself, and constantly feel, as you put it, "knotted up" inside. However, this is the answer..and it WILL work for us! Good luck!

Thanks for your reply,I have been non stop working on myself, feeling good trying to change my way of thinking and its working!!I know I have along way to go and there will be set backs, but thats OK.It took me 46 yrs to attack this head on instead of side stepping,God bless you and everyone else out there trying!...I am on my way! Your responces REALLY REALLY HELP!! Thank you.

Hi all,
I ordered the program about 2 weeks but am only on day 2 of right now because I was so scared. Weird?? Anyway, I have finally opened it and now want to listen to it all the time but I am working full time and can't so I listened on my lunch hour today but have 2 small children at home, a not so good marriage, and I only have 2 hours at home before I go to bed because I work so much. I was inspired by the emails I just read here and I too do not like who I have become and want a change really bad. Need a change actually. I used to be outgoing too, positive, and all that but quickly I have hardened and am now a chicken who doesn't even want or dare to go out of the house. If I didn't HAVE to go to work, I probably wouldn't leave because nobody can hurt me there.
Well good luck to all of you and I will have to keep reading and hopefully talking to you all to stay strong. Thank you.

Well I've gotten past the second day. I have had a variety of responses. Encouraged, overwhelmed, "cut to the chase", been reminded that "it's a process", time crunched....even felt worse. All of these responses are perfectly normal. I was glad I listened to the lesson a second time. Indeed, I picked up on things that I hadn't consciously noticed the first time through. Read some things I'd written elsewhere on this site and realized that what I'd written sounded very negative even though I don't think I meant it that way at the time. Oh well that's why I am here looking up and forward! And waving "Bye!" to what is behind.
