I can completely agree with you. I actually quit reading all the emails coming to me where I had posted. When you read how other people are feeling, you just wonder if that will happen to you. It's hard to keep that seperate from YOURSELF. My husband absolutely hates it that I keep getting on this computer and looking up things. I have to say, I felt better when I was away for those 5 days or so. I just seem to keep getting drawn back to about 3 different websites. I have done this program but it is not helping. I feel I'm having more of a depression state now, which I never would have admitted. Actually, I can't really say I am depressed just that the things I use to enjoy aren't that exciting to me anymore. That makes me very sad. I think getting online makes things that much worse. I just wish there was a quick fix!
Hi Statichorse,
You sound like me when I first started. I just wanted to leave my country and go somewhere where no one knew me so i could be free, do my own thing, not have to be invited anywhere etc. and at times I still do feel that way but this program does help...it'll take time but it'll help. i don't feel half as hopeless as i first did :)
Statichorse,
Use this program to challenge those anxious thoughts. If you haven't already start working through the program. The second session is about challenging your anxious thoughts and will help you with this way of thinking.
Take what you need from the boards. If they do in fact contribute to your anxious thinking, just use the program until you are ready to come back.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I feel like reading all of this stuff about anxiety, is fueling my fears of anxiety. It's describing what I'm afraid I'm going to feel and I know I'm going to feel and I don't want to feel. The anxiety makes me dread going to my shrink,or doing anything that makes me feel more anxiety, or the panicky feeling like I'm trying to push everything away and I have to get away. I think I'm being watched and everyone knows I'm worried and afraid. It really is driving me insane. I fantasize about just taking off and running away from everyone dissapearing forever.
