All these methods are CBT and I agree if you are the type to respond to CBT, the info on this site is just as good....also, many I believe do need meds and the ones that are cured without feel that everyone can be cured without meds.

To All Members,
For those of you new to computers and the internet, there exists what we call mailbots or spambots that do nothing but roam the Internet looking for email addresses to send you spam mail. Although the information you submit when you sign up is private and protected, what you type into a post is public and there for the asking. Therefore if you post your email address or real name, those mailbots will pick up that information.
If you are an individual who does not like mail or spambots then please refrain from posting your real name or e-mail address within the site.
Take care,
Melanie

Hi,
I am new to this program and I was reading on this topic. I know this was back in March but I was wondering if I could get of copy of the Linden method? It would be appreciated. I am looking for something to help me also.
Thanks,
Poobear
could anyone possibly email me a copy of the Linden book too... nonsvch@3dmercenary.net :8|:
I'd really appreciate it. Used to live in the UK now my world has shrunk back to Australia and like you all I would love to get my freedom back again.
cheers ....L.
nobita, you can find Lucinda's program at www.stresscenter.com. It worked better for me than Linden's because she feels some people do need to take anti-depressants at least for awhile until you are able to learn coping skills. I'm one of those people who just can't stop zoloft because it sends me into a tailspin. I have been able to lower my dose and am working on stopping it completely. Another thing I found helpful and is different from Linden's is that he suggests you push the anxiety and ruminating thoughts to the back of your mind and never speak of them. That has been impossible for me to do at times and Lucinda's program taught me things to do to cope and get through my anxious episode. Once I'm able to do that then I can incorporate what Linden suggests about not dwelling on it, so once it's over its over because we do put ourselves into a cycle of worry and anxiety by thinking on it constantly even at times when we are not really consumed or extremely bothered by it. Hope this helps, I know you will be able to find releif by using one or both of these programs.
Thanks guys for the response!
Hi Mike, best of luck to you on your endeavor! Keep us updated about your results in a few days. :)
Hello Pamela! I'm curious about the Lucinda Bassetts program. Where can I find it?
Hey Dunc! I agree totally with what you said. Having the correct mindset and eating the right foods can't be beat! :)
Hi everyone, i though i'd comment on what's said about nutrition. Nutrition is the other side of the coin and we underestimate how much of a part nutrition plays in our well being. However, i would also commentg that in my opinion poor nutrition is a catalyst and exacerbates anxiety. The correct mind set is the key to being anxiety free. It is true that a good mindset won't enable you to drink petrol without being ill but anxiety is more directly caused by our physical emotional response than anything else. For example a non-anxious person can drink ten cups of coffee (not a good idea) and be hyperactive, wheras an anxious person will have to be s****ed off the ceiling with an anxious reaction. Adrenaline produced by the adrenal glands in reponse to a perceived threat will make one person excited and exhilarated and one person very scared.
When you the response to perceived threats is lessened and less stimulants such as coffee and nicotine are put into the body then the picture is complete for being anxiety free. :)
