I'm a few days into lesson two now, and I'll admit it hasn't been easy. My anxiety levels have seemed t gone up some what at the moment. After working out today I was feeling pretty good, vut there was a lingering uneasiness. It is something I have felt before in the past, and the best way I can describe it is I am feeling good and that doesn't seem normal for me, so I am waiting for the bad feelings to come back, and that seems to be causing anxiety. Is anyone familiar with this feeling? Also for those who have completed lesson 2, what should my goal be by the end of the week? I know I cannot totally eliminate panic attacks all together in that time, so how should I feel what should my outlook be? Thanks.

I understand how you feel I think. I get the feeling that something bad is about to happen when my life seems to be going ok. What I think a good goal is for the end of week 2 is to recognize when you are about to have a panic attack and to start calming self-talk. I don't have panic attacks, but I definately have times when I get in a high anxiety, worrying state of mind or feeling really depressed. I have to pay attention to my thoughts that I have that cause my emotions, so I can talk myself out of it. My goal is to use the six steps this week, put it into practice.

Bcos,
I can totally relate to the uneasy feeling you are experiencing. I am now on session 6 and feeling really good.... but just have that uneasy feeling. Like I am just waiting for the next panic attack. But, the good news is I have not had one in a long time! So the uneasy feeling is starting to go away.
I agree with Sarah, a good goal at the end of session 2 is to recognize the onset of a panic attack and start talking yourself through it and calming yourself down.
Sounds like you are doing great and working the program. Keep it up!
Here's to a better life!
