What if?
My wonderful husband just purchased the program for me to get well.

So, the next thing out of his mouth was,"I'll gve you 30 days to try it and see if it works."

So, now I was having a good day. Poof,
full blown anxiety attack, heart palps, headache. . .

What if it doesn't work?

Butchboise,
I know it sounds "stupid" to say this, but don't worry about that! I know, easier said than done. I felt that way too, believe me! Just give the program a chance...a lot will happen in next few weeks and it will be a good change! I used to feel that way, when I first started the program, but now that I am done, I look back and I have changed a lot! Give the program a chance...it works!
Take care,
Cindy

I forgot to tell you too, don't worry about what he thinks (I know, hard to do!). Just go at your own pace and don't worry about if you feel you are going to fast or slow. It will work, just give yourself time and be patient!

Dear Butchboise,

What if??? You're wonderful husband just bought you a whole new way of living? If you have been reading the posts here I think you will find that the majority of people are living so much better than before now that they have been thru the program. If you read under the first topic"General Comments/Inquiries Concerning Anxiety and Depression" there is a new testimony posted by Tam titled-To all friends and newcombers...I think it will bring you some comfort

I'm sure that there are alot of us that are skeptical about this at first because it's one of the symptoms of this disorder. We "what if" on ALOT!!! As you have found there is a whole lesson devoted to that!

I personally have had had this for 44 yrs. I bought the program last year. I was willing to try ANYTHING! After the FIRST DAY my husband thought he had a new wife...and he does now. There is a couple of pages in your workbook that are for someone that can support you, who doesn't quite understand what you are going thru. Let your husband read them and maybe it will take some of the pressure off of you that you are feeling now.

You know you have the 30 day trial period and I would suggest you listen to tapes 1-4,and 8. I don't know to what degree you are suffering but,I have yet to find someone that this program didn't help as long as they were following thru with it.

It just has so many skills to help you cope with conquering this and living life in general. We're here to support you too!

Best of luck!
Diane
