hello..... i am new to the program. It's been a long, long anxiety and depression ridden life and i am hoping this is the answer to my quest for a calm, normal life. I have had listened to the first two tapes and am astonished to know that there are other people out there who really do sound like me. That, in itself, gives me hope. Most of the people I have been involved with all of my life have never understood where I was coming from half the time. Well, maybe all the time. I'm not really secure in opening up and letting all of my insecurities out at one time, so I will leave it at that for the time being.

Hi Stormyweather!! Welcome to the group!

I'm really proud of you for making an appointment for an EKG test. I'm in Session 4 right now and one of the challenges is to make an appointment with a physician to discuss symptoms, etc...and I'm really anxious about the thought of it but I'm telling myself that Monday morning I'm making an appointment for next week. I encourage you that although you feel anxious, to challenge yourself to go through with the appointment and not cancel it...but look at it as an opportunity. Just remember how nice it will be to talk with the doctor when it's all done and you can put your mind at ease.

Sounds like you're making tons of progress...it's not easy to catch negative thoughts so congratulations on baby steps!!!...that's what this process is all about.


Hello and BIG WELCOME to Buzz2 (Ivan)!!!!


Look forward to hearing form you,

Jen

hi my name is ivan,im new here too,hope to learn a lot here and meet new people!!!

Thanks for your your input... I thought I was having a heart attack yesterday at work....my heart was thumping and flipping and I really didn't feel anxious. However, I had gone to lunch with about 10 people and I do tend to feel like they are judging me all the time. Negative thought, right? I am supposed to go in for an ekg stress test next week and I'm really afraid to go and want to cancel it. It's been a really bad month all around.... but I have been listening to my cd's - especially #3. I have had a bad time with getting my brain to understand it, but each time I listen to it, I realize that I am picking up more each time. It is beginning to sink in.... and I am catching some of my negative responses. (I even have a couple people at work who remind me, gently, of course, that I just had a negative thought!) They have a similar temperament as I do, so they understand where I am coming from. But, it is difficult to find a good "in-between" positive response. I have a tendency to to go to the extreme and I am trying to improve on that. Anyway, thanks for your support.

Welcome stormyweather. Lucinda's program is fantastic. I used the old cassette progam many years ago, and felt the need to go through the program again, so I got the cds/dvds. You will learn so much about yourself...also you are not alone. I think anxiety is the number one health problem in the world today. Lucinda's insights are amazing. Everything you are experiencing will be explained somewhere in the program. She leaves no stone unturned.

I truly believe that God directs our paths in times of need. Welcome to the path of healing. Keep us posted.

God Bless You,

Hey stormyweather,
Welcome. I so feel like you, just always scared to say it much less deal with it. But with this program I have renewed hope. Haven't got it yet. I so look forward to logging in and reading and responding for now. Again, wecome.

Welcome to the program!! I was suprised too, to see how many people actually have anxiety just like us! This program is great, just take one day at a time and remember that there is no time table. Good luck, I know you will do great!

Stormyweather!! Welcome!!

You'll find plenty of people here who understand...it's been a huge help to me already. Make sure you're involved in the forum and it's amazing what slowly sharing and responding to others does. It makes you feel free. I never thought I'd discuss this much but I'm loving it!!

Keep posting.

Jen
