I couldn't help, but see myself in the posts about making the final leap away from this "problem". I live fine day to day, but there are some things I want to try now. I am practicing the techniques very carefully, but some things are just so hard for me.

It's almost like I'm so used to being anxious in certain places that I don't know how else to act. Why can't my "what if" questions be like "what if I ride casually and in a relaxed manner over this bridge. What if I enjoy this play and get totally absorbed in it and love it. What if I feel confident about myself?". I know that it helps me so much to keep reminding myself that I will not act on my thoughts and that there is no real emergency. I guess I just need to keep practicing.

I bought the tapes years ago and they helped me so much, but this time around I am realizing more about myself. I constantly seem to worry about what people are thinking about me. I always knew this was a problem for me, but I didn't realize to what extent.
Anyway, let's all try to get through the door together. Also, does anybody know if any of the people from the tapes ever post here? Do we ever hear from Lucinda herself? Also what is the difference between the members and junior members?

Remember to keep practicing the skills you learn from the tapes.

Practice makes perfect!

As for not knowing how to act other than anxious in certain places or situations, try not to use your anxiety as an excuse and conquer things one at a time.

Good luck,

##Yes, me too-- I would love some support also. I avoid too much...
