I havent been on this site in a few months but want to tell of my sucesses. I finished the program in sept. I came to the program because I fell into a depression due to marital issues and was having lots of anxiety with my kids, friends and husband. I was not functioning very well at all. Today I am no longer depressed, I have learned to controll my anxiety and my relationship with my kids is awesome. All 4 of them have changed because I have changed. I dont freak out and yell and flip out like I used to. I do review my tapes and feel I want to go throuh the program again because Im afraid to go back to those old habits. The sad part is that it did not fix my marriage it just helped my to be stronger and stand up for myself. I realized I could not change my husband but I could change myself, my selfasteam, and pull myself up from where I was. The problems in my marriage doesnt depress me anymore or cause anxiety like it did because I deal with it differently. Yes it still makes me sad but I handle it. I was just a stay at home Mom but I know have a part time job after not working in 13 years and its using my college degree and something I can grow with. I do things for myself now that I havent done in a long time and its all guilt free!!! I know I want to fix my marriage and Im more confident and stronger now to handle marriage counceling. The program did not fix my marriage but It gave me myself back so that I can now move forward with whatever is going to happen. Good luck to anyone who is reading this and Ill be on the site as I plan to do the program again to make sure I do not go backwards. Hugs Nicki

Nicki - wonderful news! Happy to have you back. I've dealt successfully with anxiety for years now, and find this site the BEST when I hit a speed bump. I'm currently working through the program again too - and battling the fact I've had to turn to meds temporarily to help me sleep. Look forward to hearing your experiences!
