Hi everyone I am a single male in my 40's. I have struggled with anxiety most of my life and depression. I am hoping that this program will help me eliminate the strong anxiety that I have been dealing with most of my life. I am finding it daunting getting started with this program,but am managing to make progress.

Hi G!

I agree, it can be a daunting task and once you get started it can either seem easier or harder but the key is to stick with it. Just taking this first step puts all of us one step ahead. I've really been struggling of late and today has been one of the best days I've had in weeks. For once, I'm not dreading tomorrow and the anxiety it might bring. Instead, I say bring it on...I can handle it! Hang tough...we can all do this.

Hi G

Like you, I too am just starting out and it's scarey but I say, good for us for doing this. Doing this program is a big step and I think we should be very proud of ourselves for sticking with it even if it is scarey. Best of luck. B

Hi. I am also just starting the program. I listened to the first cd yesterday. I have alot of the same symptons that you mentioned and am ready to get better and overcome this. I am so glad there is this forum to gain extra advice and strength. We all will beat this and Good Luck to all of you.

i everyone i just started my second week today. this task of over coming seems so overwhelming, but i will do anything to return to "normal" life with no restrictions. i have a great support system at home and would like to have one here too.

i think this is really something to be proud of it is so easy to avoid situations and people and the rest of the world. i just don't want to be that peson anymore!! and i don't want you to be either, since i know where you are coming from!

Hi,

I started the program yesterday, I am very anxious to see if it is going to work..But I am very hopeful

Hello everyone. I went through the program successfully about 3 years ago, I am going through it again to fine tune my skills due to allot of personal stress lately. The program does work so have faith and stick with it. It took me until almost the end to actually REALLY start seeing results but they do come. Good luck to you all and again please stay with it!

Thanks Disney Girl,
I appreciate your encouragement?how about continuing to write.?

I found it hard to stay on task to start the program I am such a controller that I must have completed 20 tasks while trying to get through the first cd. I finally made it however, and the cd was worth all the stop and go's I put it through. It was a wealth of information. This is my first day.

Hi everyone i just started this week. and I am finding that i feel like i am actually living again. it does take some work to catch my and watch my thoughts. I am a very negative thinker. I think I am more depressed and anxiety is my 2nd level and yes i have had panic attacks and just listening to the first cd made me realize my first immobilizing attack was in frist grade. It gripped me with fear i was terrified and confussed. My parents had non healthy ways to cope so i learned to cope from them and learned wrong coping as i grew up and just lived. I had to cry and grieve the first day because it was like coming our of denial. I can't believe how long i have yes me done this to myself. But I see the light its dim but its there. YIPPY
