hugs4U,
 
It makes sense that you've been relaxing a bit after a hectic day. Please let us know how your weekend goes and whether you reach the specialist.

Im stuck on an anxious thought.

m33,

To help reduce your anxiety about the x-rays, try writing down the facts asking yourself whether they warrant the anxiety.  Alternatively, you may wish to consult with your doctor and discuss your situation, as your health care provider's input may  assuage your concerns. Finally, you could practice engaging in some relaxing activities when you feel anxiety coming on (drinking herbal tea, deep breathing, etc.)
 
Please let us know what you've tried and how it's working for you.

I had to face my fears today (involuntarily)

m33,

Sounds like this was a challenging situation for you. Have you progressed further in the program since this occurred? If so, where are you at in the program and what strategies can you use to help you cope?

Iremember me,

I truly believe that you can bring back that positive person again!

What reasons can you identify that may explain why your anxiety is worse during the night?

What can you start doing today (in addition to working through the program on the site) to help you move towards that 'lightbulb click'?

Lastly, how can you plan to deal with feelings of anxiety before they come on? 

Answering these questions will represent a great first step to understanding and ultimately taking control of your anxiety.

I look forward to your response!

Irememberme,

It's my pleasure! Always happy to support you wherever possible.

Have you seen a doctor with respect to the Buspar? If so, what was the result of that consultation?

Regarding the agoraphobia that you say you experience in the mornings, have you read through the section in the program about this topic (agoraphobia)? If so, what did you find helpful? Were there any points that require clarification?

How can you concretely take steps to live in the moment each and every day?

Glad I got you thinking about these questions. Please take as much time as you need and keep us posted about any realizations.

Some absolutely fantastic quotes! I especially like the fact that you commented about what each one means to you.

Irememberme,

Glad to hear that the news from your doctor was encouraging!

The section for Agoraphobia is in the first chapter of the program. 

You can find it by following this path:  
Panic Program > 1: Understanding Panic > Panic and Agoraphobia.

Please let me know you're able to find it.

Classroom-based CBT program?

twinigma,

Thanks for writing. Are there any classroom-based CBT programs that you've already looked into and found unsuitable? If so, can you please let us know which ones so that members who find options will know to discount the ones you've already reviewed? Thanks a lot in advance.
