hey all,
i'm feeling discouraged today. I was up all night with anxiety just on the verge of an attack, you know i was laying down and my body would start to rush with andrenaline and even thought i was so exhausted i had to make myself get up and exercise or watch tv or write or knit to get my natural rythm back and use up some of this adrenaline.
I finished the program months ago and i still use my tapes and go back through the book all the time, but i've been having some anxiety recently and i feel like maybe i've plateau here and i'm not sure how to keep getting better. I'm afraid it's going to get worse. I feel very alone. Tell me we can do it! tell me some of you have went through this after the program and continued to get better until you recovered? I've heard so many negative things recently and i need to hear some positive and truthful things. I've just been working so hard at this for so long and i'm so tired.

This is a great thread. I 2 am in the same position. I was doing wonderfully for about 2-3 months finished the program w/coaching and was riding high, until recently though I've been kinda down. I just found out that OCD is the root of what happened in the first place. My body symptoms are what do me in. The constant stress headache the tingly feelings. So don't fell alone. Keep going back to the tapes for reassurance. I do this all the time, and if you're able to work out, try and take your mind of of this stuff. It's just a bump in the road for both of us, we just have to keep going, that's it. If we were up @ one point, we can get back to it. I'll keeo working if you will!!!!

This is just so true. I finished the program almost three weeks ago. Soon after I had some down couple of days. I had to constantly remind myself that it would pass and it was only temporary and I knew what it was. I didn't want to give my symptoms any power. I also tried to give myself a lot of TLC, journaling time, relaxation, exercise and listening to key tapes of the way I felt. It worked. The uneasiness and anxiety have passed. I'm glad I have the tools to center me back.
