Hi,

I'm Nikki. I'm new here. I just started the program about a month ago. I got a little behind on things due to my lovely little friend...Mono. (is that negative?) haha I just listened to session 3 about 15 minutes ago and I feel so hopeful!

It took me a month to pop in the first cd because I was sure it wasn't going to work for me. When I did finally listen to it, I felt so incredibly hopeful! And I still do.

I have struggled with an eating disorder for 8 years now, been in and out of treatment centers, and although I have come a long way, I still find myself stuck in the rut of negative thinking. I finally realized that my body image issues are all tied into my anxiety.

I'm not sure why I am writing all this, but maybe just to say that I feel like there is FINALLY a light at the end of the tunnel. And not a light only for my panic attacks and scary thoughts, but also for my all around well-being.

So here's to kicking those negative thoughts in the butt, and beginning to finally...love myself!

I'm glad to hear that you started the Program. Keep at it--it's worth it. I've gone through the Program three times and refer back to it on a regular basis. I listen to my positive thought replacement tape everyday. Many good changes have occurred in my life since I've gone through the Program. Many POSITIVE things. It takes time and effort, but if you stick with it, all the pieces of the puzzle should eventually fall into place and it will make sense. Best wishes to you!

Hi Nikki,

This is my second week and I'm beginning to feel more positive as well. I hope we all kick panic attacks to the curb. This program has been good at showing me that I don't have to be ashamed or disappointed in myself because of my problems, that I just need to be willing to do something about it! Good luck and keep posting.

hi Nikki and LeeG,
Kiss those panic attacks goodbye!!1 I suffered with constant panic attacks for years and No More! This program is a wonderful tool towards a new life - it's amazing.
What you put into practicing the skills will determine what you get out of it. It's worth every second of the effort.
Amen drg, stick with it!!!

God bless and hugs

I totally relate to you writing that it took a month to just listen to the CD, tuffniki. I took half a year to start the program bc I just wasn't ever prepared for the "disappointment" when the program didn't work.
I also am now very excited about what all I'll do and accomplish. Making that list of all the things I haven't done/ tried bc of my anxiety/ depression was a wake-up call that made me angry.
Now I'm starting to look forward and think of all the things I can and will do.
