I have a question, I have been feeling very down lately. I don't know how to describe it, it's like I have this heaviness around me. This makes it hard for me to feel good and positve about myself. I think this iswhy I have been feeling worse. When I don't have this feeling I am able to do so much more and I feel that accomplishment. How do I get out of this feeling?

First of all, do you have a job? Sometimes when I feel low, I think of all the good things I have done at work or accomplishments that I have made in my life. Whether it be buying a new house, making new friends, graduating from high school or college, finishing a book on anxiety or in your case getting ready to deliver a beautiful baby. I really hope that you hang in there. I am in week 10 of the program now and there have been times that I have struggled, but then I think of what I have accomplished. I used to not be able to eat out in restaurants at all, now I eat out all the time. This for me was a huge accomplishment. Don't get me wrong though there are days that I feel down. But then I go for a walk or listening to my CD and I seem to feel better. Lesson 10 is really good and has already taught me a lot. I have struggled with this anxiety for 15 or so years and I am finally feeling better. I am so excited! I hope you stick with this program and when you get down, think about something special to you, like the beautiful child you already have. You have a lot to be proud of, I am sure it. So hang in there!Lisa
