I liked the relaxation tape I had too but really no matter how many times I tried I can't get my chest to untense or my heart to stop beating irregularly...sometimes they put me to sleep but then again I don't have a walkman anymore. just a discman..
Peace,
Steve

Yes, I even sometimes develop symptoms after reading on this site. How quickly things can get into your head, yet the things we want to put in our heads bounce off or something! Never gave a 2nd thought to eating problems till I read about them here. Now I always think about that when I eat. AARRGGGGG!!!!!! What in the heck's going on? The other day I tried not to read so much panic material and I felt a little better. But I want to learn more so I can get better sooner. Maybe I should just slow down.
Steve can you send a web link???
I love my relaxation tapes. They don't speak of anxiety symptoms just relaxing words that lull me to sleep.
But this hypnosis CD sounds intriguing so please send a link
Yeah. I remeber the 1st time I got a book from the library about the different Anxiety disorders I think they made me worse if that makes any sense. It seems The more I read about symptoms & side effects of medication they work me up even more. I checked out a relaxation tape at the library a few months ago, it was beginning to help a little but I still have a hard time not being distracted by it on top of that I don't have access to a walkman anymore.... I stayed up real late last night looking at some hypnosis CD sites...I'm still skeptical... If you have a CD burner some people share self help....I made some before but lost them. They were OK from what I remember..Maybe that would work for you...At this point anytime I heard the word panic or anxiety on TV I flip out. I am having some serious setbacks I guess.. Good luck
I recently borrowed some "self help" books for overcoming anxiety from both my local library and from the wellness center at our hospital.
I am finding however that at times they do more harm than help as I read through them (watch the videos). Meaning I may read more into it, develop symptoms (hypochondriac) that I didn't have before reading them, behaviors as well....etc.
Anyone else experience this?
