My obsessive thought has become this program...I feel like I'm not looking hard enough at it or working hard enough at it and "what if" I don't get it...is this the "magic solution" to my problem???? And "what if" it dosen't work? How hard is my fall going to be after that??? I'm about to go into a very busy work period (I've had the last two and 1/2 weeks off...with nothing but this program to concentrate on....) And now I have to go back to work and I'm afraid that I'm going to lose all the wonderful things I've found....because I won't have as much time to dedicate to it (ie: obsess about it!) javascript:void(0) Any thoughts???? Anyone???

I know how you feel, I feel the same way sometimes. But again, that is our negitive thoughts that we let get to us and bring us down. This is a great program and it will help you so much, just like it is helping me and has helped many people. Try the lessons and the work book and see how much better you feel.
Good luck,
Megan

You won't lose your skills. They are yours now. This is just another chance to use them and proove to yourself how effective they really are. I am obsessed with this program too... It's a lot better than the things I used think about. I am only on lesson 4, and sometimes I what-if myself into a tizzy about whether this program will help, and where will I turn if it doesn't. But, now I know when I am what-if-ing, and I am aware of what by body is doing, and every week I change a little bit... So somethings changing, and certainly can't hurt.

Thanks all...that helps a lot!

Having difficulty because feel that i am failing at the program, therapy, and life in general.
I know these are negative thoughts, but just today i was crying in the hallway (college).

When I catch myself obsessing again, and then start crying - I have just started being able to say to myself, "You are learning a lot of things to help yourself, you have been thinking this way for many years, and it will take time to change this ineffective thinking". Then I give myself permission to cry if I still need to do so. I am nice to me just as I would be nice to a friend.
