Need to move forward

Lance,

To do exposure therapy for driving you can use these steps:

1) Visualize yourself sitting in the car, starting it, driving it, coming home safely.

2) Actually sit in the car, start it, drive it out of the driveway only and increase the distances progressively.

You can also ask your therapist for exposure ideas for driving. We are here for you through these times.

anger during anxiety

kittcat,

Do find what works to calm yourself down, and use these techniques when you experience irritability and anger.

You may want to try relaxation techniques and adopt them into your routine. Here is a simple breathing exercise that you can try when you are feeling irritable. With shoulders back and tummy in, inhale deeply for a slow count of five, exhale for a slow count of five. Do five of these at a time. You can do this exercise anywhere and at anytime.

Members, what works to help calm yourself down?

Rebuilding Your Self-Esteem

Members,

Has an illness, addiction or other left your self-esteem in the gutter? In the weeks to come, we will be exploring various strategies to help rebuild your self-esteem:

What is self-esteem?

The level of self-esteem you have is gained via reactions important people have had to you throughout your life. Starting off with your parents, it is further shaped by your siblings, superiors, friends and significant others. One primary factor in the development of self-esteem involved the positive or negative reinforcement or messages you receive from these people.

Before we can begin rebuilding, we encourage you to take make a list of the people in your life who have played an important role in your life. Were they supportive or negative forces in your life? What did they do for your self-esteem?

Hoping this program helps...really afraid

Hi Kristina,

Welcome to our online community and thank you for sharing your story with us. There are many people within this support group that share the same questions and concerns as you. We are all a group of individuals who support each other.

If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.

Please continue to strive forward and lean on us for support.
