Thanks for your reply!

No specific questions about the program as of yet--I have read a lot about anxiety/panic disorders etc.. and CBT. I was diagnosed a few years ago and have done research since then--but I am finally getting to a point where i realise that I don't have to endure life like this and really need to do something about it!

Hello Everyone,

I just joined the group this week and am starting to read through the lessons. I have struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for 10 years or so...they first started in my early twenties/late teens. I didn't realise for many years what was even going on--I just assumed that I was a little high strung and that most people had these anxiety and thoughts. After years of just 'dealing' I finally spoke to a doctor about it and she diagnosed me with "generalised anxiety disorder" with panic attacks. I'm not on any daily medications for it--I decided not to go with SSRIs. I do have lorazepam but I only take it on an 'as needed' basis. Sometimes I will have two in a day other times I will go weeks taking none. One of the things that triggers my anxiety is alcohol. If I go out on a Saturday night and drink I always have ridiculous anxiety the next day--which sometimes leads to more wine...to take the edge off. It's a vicious cycle. I know the obvious answer is to stop drinking alcohol--but I would like to be able to go to a party or out for dinner or hang out with my friends and drink and feel normal the next day! Anyway I suppose I can post about the specifics in another thread.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and say I'm really looking forward to this program.
