Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hey all
I just wanted to join up and share my experiences with anxiety - a story with a happy ending
I had always struggled in social situations, specifically high school, and it lead to me falling behind a year.
But when my mother died my life just fell apart. All my friends had moved away to college already and I was still stuck in high school
I had already been seeing a psychologist on a regular basis, but I just couldn't deal with doing that anymore, I was just so fed up with it all - the therapy hadn't worked for me yet, why would it start working now?
I started seeing a psychiatrist, and he put me on antidepressants but they didn't work for me either (a side effect of suicidal thoughts does Not help)
Anyway, this was about 5 years ago. Since then I resumed my therapy with my psychologist and started making some progress.
Recently however I found this one self-help program on the internet, made by a man named Jon Mercer and it's really fantastic.
It's a series of easy to follow videos and I'm just going through them one at a time, and every day I see myself improving! I just feel great about it!
I feel like I can put all of this behind me now.
so I just wanted to share with all of you my thoughts, and if you're interested in the program I'm using you can see his first video 'lesson' at the link below, about halfway down the page - and sign up to get the rest of them if you're impressed like I was.
if anyone else has used this program I'd love to hear how it has effected your life as well!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The way I look at it - nothing in life is free.
I had already payed for one other program like this one which didn't work for me, but because this one is actually videos it's much more engaging.
It may not work for everyone, but I thought I'd share it with you all for anyone who wanted to give it a go =)
Just wanted to pass this on!
