Hi, before I saw Lucinda's infomercial I was clinically depressed,I didn't care about anything. Anyways, I finished Lesson 1 and my depression is lifting!! But, I'm am having alot of anxiety which I realize now is from Lesson 1 the causes, thoughts,worry etc. which I'm picking up on now. But, here's my problem there are many times I have anxiety in the pit of my stomach for no reason. Does anyone else have this problem and/or solution. I'd really appreciate any help.Thanks New Jen

I have had that happen to me. Some days I am not stressed out at all and I will start having symptoms of anxiety out of nowhere. The only thing I can say is try to go on with your day and think of the fact that it will pass and that you are actually fine. The best thing you can do is distract yourself and try listening to the relaxation recording if you can. I think for many of us we just have bad days, sometimes everyday may have unprovoked anxiety. The best thing to do is ignore it and go on with your day.

How wise, danilo88! And so true. I often have these uncomfortable physical symptoms with or without the negative, obsessive, or scary thoughts. Jen, it always passes. Sometimes these spells last minutes, sometimes days. But, as I have worked through the program and with my doctor, it is getting better. It wasn't overnight that you learned these habits and thought patterns, so it won't be overnight that they go away, but you are already on that road to recovery. Hang in there and remember it always passes.

Thank you Danilo88. You're right. I just need to distract myself with other thing & work hard to ignore it and remember it will pass.You don't know how helpful you have been.
Thanks again,NewJen

Hi Cuttingirl,
You are so right about not learning these habits overnight. I've had 20 years to practice!
You said your doctor has helped you along with Lucinda's wonderful program, I'm going to have a chat with mine just to make sure there is nothing going on in my tummy besides anxiety. Thank you & Danilo for responding to my concern it's so helpful to here the knowledge and experiences of others

Youre very welcome, and thank you cuttingirl for making a good point. This is not done overnight. It took me many weeks to dominate my fears, and for some it may take months and that is okay. As long as you do not ever give up!

Thank everyone for all the encouranging words but let me tell you I have been very frustrated lately. As I go through the sessions I find I have been more anixous then ever. I just so sick and tired of feeling this way and I want it to stop ASAP. As I read what you wrote I will continue to push forward and hopefully come out ok.

Hi Everyone,

I have had that feeling in the pit of my stomach for many, many,years and it's a horrible, uneasy, sickening feeling I always referred to as feelinh like I had a big old woolen sock in my stomach. It's anxiety even if you aren't thinking anxious I truly feel the sub concious mind is.

Also to feel more anxiety durung the first 1-4 sessions is experienced by many people. I really had it bad..think it was seeing so much about myself while listening to everyone talk. I also found many issues I felt for years and had no idea they were anxity or depression related. This will all stop the further you progress and you will start to feel so much better.

Work hard, and never stop until you reach the end of your journey.
It's going to be a life changing journey that will give you a happy, joyous, peacefull, life.

Keep BELIEVING IN YOURSELVES!!!!

I just started the program this week.I realize as I was reading the comments, feeling the anxiousness in my stomach and asking myself why? Reading Montysmom comment resonated with me, it's my subconscious mind that's going all the time. At first I didn't feel comfortable doing this, but it was very helpful reading everybody's comments, and seeing the support.

Do the stomach pains ease as you go along the program?

Hi, I just started this program and I am on session 2. I don't think I have had a panick attack in a while, but I used to get them more often. I actually had one on my wedding day, and now I wish I could do it all over again and enjoy it this time. I also would get these anxiety attacks for no reason that I could find. My heart would pound so fast, I told my doctor that I felt like my whole system was running way too fast and I also had heart palpitations. I have mitrovalve prolapse, so the doctor thought it has to do with the prolaps and put me on Toprol XL. I have been doing ok on it, but would love to stop taking it eventually. I would have to stop taking it if I were to become pregnant, but I have been putting that off for a long time because I'm afraid I would lose the baby or die having it. Wow, it feels really weired to write about that fear. Well, I told my doctor about the program to get rid of my anxiety to see if I can maybe stop the Toprol and he said we could try when I'm ready. I would love to find anyone who has had the same problem, or a similar situation.

I am 55 years old and was diagnosed with Mitral valve prolapse after a total collapse which put me to bed for three months. Don't panic! It wasn't that mitral valve that did this I was pregnant and had five other children and a husband who really didn't take any responsibility in life. It was just a test that was run and they found out. I do belive that mitral valve prolapse can cause feeling s of anxiety due to lack of oxygen in your system. I have several children with it and they have anxiety as well. I suffered from anxiety for years not knowing that it was anxiety , just thought I was dying I guess. I found a way out through faith and I believe that is what Lucinda is offering a way to believe that life should have joy in the midst of storms and I am here to tell you that it is possible. Stress is in everyone's life . It is how we deal with it that creates peace or panic! I have been through every nightmare one can almost imagine and it did leave me with an anxious soul but now I am free of this. There are days when it begins but I have learned to affirm myself through it and it works. Lucinda's program will teach you how to do this. I learned through faith in a higher power but I feel that this program is teaching you the connection as well. MY children were given drugs for their mitral valve thinking that this would fix the problem. It didn't. They are still in the same condition and have stopped the drugs.I am anxious for them to go through this program because they haven't been able to do what I have done through faith and need a program like this to jumpstart their inner voice. The root problem is two fold in the oxygen levels and in the mind which controls those. YOu have to counterbalance the lack of oxygen with deep breathing and finding a way to be relaxed. Meditation and breathing exercises can actully release the tension in your heart and open up the pathways. You will succeed, I did and it is wonderful on the other side of anxiety. I supppose we are much like AA in that we have had the experience and must always be alert to the signs and symptoms but each day that I am free of anxiety the stronger my consious and sub consious become and now I feel the need to share this joy with others like you. Connect with God inside of you and do all you can do through this program and other healing programs of exercise and breathing and watch the miracle happen. I know it will.

Hi,
Yes my stomach pains are becoming a lot less.. I have started to recognize when I'm getting anxiety over something and when I do I start doing the relaxation CD in my head and the anxiety stops.I also have started watching for what seems to be causing my anxiety. A lot of times it's my thinking that's causing it. So,when I recognize it I've realized it's nothing to be anxious about and keep changing my thoughts to what our the positive things about the situation. Hope this brings you much encouragement. Let me know,
New Jen

Hi,
I posted a reply to you about stomach pains.Could you let me know if you received it.
New Jen

Yes, I did receive it. I'm glad to hear the encouragement because although I'm starting to feel better, the stomach "thing" seems to still be holding on. I'm hoping that with time, it will ease as well. Thank you!
