Hi everyone I am new to the support group community, but I have started this program around the 2nd week in November of 2008. I'm just looking for someone to chat with.

Hi Ginka, nice to meet you. My family also started the program around the same time. Dont be a stranger.

Nice to here from you, I also live in the same state. How do you think this program is working for you?

Hi Ginka,
I mainly got the program for my 9 year old who suffers from some severe social anxiety. My wife also suffers from chronic depression but we all are doing the program together. We can all benefit from it because everyone has feelings of anxiety and depression to differing degrees. We're just finishing up session 3(been on it for 2 weeks). We are all learning valuable skills to deal with those types of feelings. I've spent the last couple days back in 3rd grade with my son who has returned after 2 months off. He was unable to cope but after some counseling, meds(that we were reluctant to use) and using the program, were starting to see some real progress. We were trying the meds and coulseling for about a month and a half without seeing much progress. After we got a couple sesions into the program is when we started to see a difference. So I'd have to say the program is doing alot of good for all of us. Nice to hear from you.

HI Ginka nice to see you stop in im on week 2 its hard but if you stick to it i think it will work hope you the best Tom

Hello Ginka. I am just starting the program myself. I am on week one. I shared my plan to use this program with my family Doctor and he says it is a very good program. I am soooo looking forward to this and to having this peer group for support. Well, I'm headed to do my audio session and relaxation session. Have you tried the relaxation cd yet. It is so awesome. Lucinda almost put me to sleep the first time. Ha! She has a very soothing voice.

hello everyone iam new here too,like many of you i saw the commercial a few years ago and it spoke to me ! so here Iam

Hiya ginka - I am just beginning week 3. I really know that this Program is already helping me with my Anxiety - I can't wait to see how we are all feeling at week 15 !!! Nice to see you on - best wishes.

hello to everyone that is beginning the program. I am very hopefull that this will be the answer to many many years of depression and anxiety.I am in week 1 and if it will do for me what it has done for so many others I will be more than grateful. I have suffered from depression all my life, along with drug and alcohol dependency.Interested in talking to any one that is or can identify with these problems. After all we have to begin somewhere, we are all in the same boat, Welcome and hello.

Hi again, nice to hear from you all. I truly believe this program is starting to work although I did have my doubts, because of my negitive thinking. I had a great day today filled with laughter and fun. I actually felt normal which is great. I do want to mention about my doctor, when I went in for a check-up, I had told my doctor about this program and how it was a new start for me. She wasn't to happy because she wanted me on pills that didn't even work for me. I was so mad. I also want to say that when I started this program 3 days ago I was scared that no one would write me back but I am gald you all did. Hope this program works for you all and stay in touch.

Hi Ginka this is my second time on here. I am on my first day of my second week. I had a bad start. I actually started 3 weeks ago, but I quit. Then I started back up. I was going to go to a doctor and tell them about the program too. I don't like medicine either. I have had bad experiences with medicine. I hope that everything works out for you.

hey. dont no how the heck all of this works but im four weeks into the program and not feeling great yet.

Hi, thanks for writing to me and sorry I didn't get back to you sooner I just have been really busy. So anyways, hi Dimples nice to meet you, yeah I was not a fan of the medication either. So if you don't mind me asking why did you quit the program and then decide to start back up?

Hi Supermommy you know I am about 5 weeks into the program and for the past 3 and 1/2 weeks, I have been having stomach problems so I went for a bunch of test. And they all came back normal, and of cource my doctor said that it was my anxiety. And at first I didn't believe her, but then I realized that it was my anxiety. So I thought that I was doing great until my stomach started acting up. So your not alone. I'm sure we will all make it trough this program with a great success.
