I'm a little stuck..
I have been unable to get past session 2. i started it about 3 1/2 weeks ago. my perfectionist side is getting the better of me, i think. I've not been listening to the relaxation tape for the past 2 wks - nor have i been listening to the session 2 audio. Without getting into details, work has been very crazy and hasn't left me much time to myself. That being said, I've had no notable anxiety the last couple weeks, whereas while actively doing completing session 1/starting session 2 i had much anxiety.

Anyway, I finally decided today that I need to get back to it - I have been riddled with anxiety all day... so bad that I've had a headache that won't go away, blood sugar problems, and nausea.

I started this post by saying I think my perfectionism is getting in the way. I know I am being overly critical of myself and I should just let things happen when they do... but I see all the things that are suggested to do as coping skills in the workbook and I start going over and over in my head about how it will be impossible for me to fit all that in every day in one week! Listening to the relaxation tape 3 times a day, meditating, meditation-walking, exercise, journaling, reading flash cards, etc. It's all i can do to allot enough time to get ready for work in the morning without forgetting something let alone add an additional time for some of these things.
Because of that and my perfection - I don't think I'm ready for session 3! I don't have everything done for session 2!

Is this a normal feeling? Have others been like this and delayed the sessions? Am I supposed to just push through and hope for the best?

We are perfectionists - that's part of the problem - we obsess that we aren't doing it 'right'. I spent a few extra days on session 3 and finally had to accept the fact that I wasn't going to get it exactly right the first time out - and moved on. I'm glad I did - session 3 fell into place as I moved along. Make sure that you do the homework - it's important. Don't worry that you aren't doing everything in the exact order in the homework - do what you can and move on.

This is a great start,

I realized I would not be able to do all that it stated to do and you realized the problem.Good advice above move on and don't or try not to worry about getting everything right.Part of being a perfectionist is not being able to move on unless we feel it's absolutely right.

Okay, this helps. Thank you both.

Onward and upward!
