Anxiety help and cognitive behavioural therapy worksheets - from professional body.

[Bradaz]

Hi, I've been suffering with anxiety for over a year and a half now coming up two. I recently finally went to the doctors to get my anxiety sorted out once and for all. They sent me to a therapist there who has been helping me with through my anxiety (GAD) she has been using these worksheets to aid in my therapy. I'm not saying these are to replace a professional opinion and not by any means all the tools available but I feel it may be beneficial for people to have the materials available who are afraid like I was to go to the doctors. So please have a look it's a government website, no fees or anything like that it's from my doctor and is used around the country possibly world. Please feel free to leave a comment or pm me as I want to help as people did for me :) all rights are reserved to the governing body etc etc.

P.s could be good to sticky this post

[arsenalfun]

Yeah but it's probably expensive :P

[Buttercup]

checked the link, looked through the worksheets and it's all free :)

[Bradaz]

Thank you for the comments I'm not sure how to 'sticky' it! :) but it's all free, no sign ups or what ever is a government website :) just hope some people have a read through them and hopefully it helps!

I love any kind of written help I can refer to. I have been suffering for entirely too long. I am post partum also and everyone seems to think I need a pill. They never work, they make me feel even more off than I already am, and I just dont want to be on medication for negative thinking. I am seriously starting to bother the people around me I cannot let it go. I have a beautiful baby and instead of enjoying our time together I am worrying about if I am breathing ok, or if I am too dizzy and about to pass out. This is ridiculous. I have been tested numerous times, but never the serious CAT scan or MRI testing. I do not have insurance so everything is a million times harder just knowing I cannot go just make sure it is nothing. But seriously I keep fighting every day. When I wake up and say to myself I am going to have a marvellous day it seems to help at least start the day. In the end I still have my episodes but yet I managed to do everything I set out to do. Why cant I see that! Anone with help please feel free to message me I can use any help as I am at the end of my rope! I would never harm myself because I am TERRIFIED of dying which is why I have the panic anxiety to begin with but I certainly do not want to live like this any longer.

Very kind of you to post this. Thank you! I could not agree more with the post above me. I don't want to be medicated for negative thoughts . I want to figure out how to deal with my issues.

Thank-you for posting this link. It is a valuable tool to help someone who will not or cannot afford to see proff council or family Dr. It can be done on your own with alot of will power but that is where many of us get trapped. It soooo tiring to fight with ones self. You need to make up your own mind which side will win to rid yourself of the funk once and for all. It is not a short process and taking very small steps is the key to your own success. I personally have had a re-lapse by going back at it to fast and at 100 %. There was no RTW -return to work plan in place for me and was faced with a deadline not 15 min's back to work and was not ready for that nor ready to say that to my Supr having all ready been away for an extended "VACATION" as he calls it. That still burns my butt. Thursday nights have been the killer for me. Very fatiqued by then which allows the demons to return. Your thoughtfullness by posting this link is very appreciated !

Hello, im new here. I have been suffering with anxiety, pd,ptsd,and depression for about 14 years. I have been on zoloft for about 10 years. I recently tried to get off it but my moods got really bad and i felt sick. So i went back on but to just half the dose. I have bb's and zanax but i dont take them cuz im too scared to. I have a job that i hate and it stresses me out so bad. But im affraid to leave it becuz i need the money and becuz of fear that i will get panic attacks somewhere else. I dont travel far from my house. I have to be in the right state of mind to do so. Any advice you can give me would be great! I feel like my life is passing me by. I really want to go back to my career as a financial advisor but im scared of the panic.

[truitt661]

This is great have to look more into it later tho. but thanks

[Meggieliz]

Thank you! It's all very helpful!

[justme24]

nice. i hope it helps

[Bradaz]

Hi mscinderella,

I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety issues, have you consulted your doctor or physician on lowering the dose as from my research cutting doses of these will increase your anxiety levels and symptoms? also the cutting of these needs to be properly planned as to not worsen your anxiety. I too suffer from PTSD, anxiety and depression although I have managed to get it too a 'tolerable' level but wish to be fully rid of it. Which will take time, have you ever tried or heard of CBT? ( cognitive behavioural therapy). I've never been on any prescription medication and cbt does seem to really do a lot of good. I would be happy for you to email me of private message me if you would like more help/information or just someone to talk to.

Thank you.

Jonathan


P.s. if anyone wants to private message me I'm always available so feel free.

I've just realised this is a little late! But still if you want to contact me feel free!

[Bradaz]

Hey, it's been a while since I last posted! Just wondering how people are getting on?

Kind regards,

Jonathan

[lamman]

hey, thanks for sharing the link bradaz. I found something useful for myself to read and understand.

[warumtera]

thank you for link

[Lin]

Thank you very much for this information. I have printed off module 2 and module 9 and the module summary sheets of the other modules. This will be going into my recovery wellbeing tool kit.

[infearandfaith]

these are great!!!! does anyone else have any worksheets or modules like this?

[GeneAllen]

The work dot com of course. Lots of free stuff, and powerful resources. Byron Katie came from paranoid, agoraphobic at 43 to be one of the best facilitators of simple solutions that last. I find it helpful. Hope someone else does too.
Peace to all.

[namaste87]

Thank you so much - will definitly look into this :) I remeber the first time I did somekind of woork sheets like this I got stuck when they said "and now you have to realise that it is not dangerous to worry." I was like WHAAAAAAAAT it's ruining my life but is not dangerous? Now, like 6 years later I have somehow realised that is actually isn't dangerous :)

[newleaf86]

this is great, helpful information and best is that it's completely free! thanks so much for posting!

[philknightlife]

Great. Can't wait to get into the stuff.

[philknightlife]

This stuff reminds me of Dr David D Burns's CBT work. Feeling Good is his great CBT book.

[RoderickLariviere]

I am coping with anxiety with the Natural pen. It has been a God Send.
I got tired of the "happy pills" and knew there had to be a all natural remedy for anxiety.

Before marriage i felt some problems with me, but not able understand wats it about.

M on medicine. that have reduced my anxiety symptoms. But i want to knw what problem i m facing as mentioned above from beginning???

[Emma1066]

Hi,

I'm completely new to this forum and stumbled across this thread. Ive really been struggling with anxiety for several months and don't feel I'm in a position to seek help from my doctor at this moment in time.
I just want to say thank you for sharing this website, ive found it so helpful!

:)

[Ponder]

That's fine Emma ... Many GPs are overrated. We give them way to much credit when instead we should be giving ourselves more attention and taking responsibility for self. I'm glad you found the forum and it being of help to you.

Just remember there are plenty of things we can do four ourselves without the need to rely on others. Anxiety & Depression is a normal response to our modern way of living. How we choose to respond to it will largely dictate where our paths lead.

Wishing you all the best & Keep Posting!
~Ponder. :)

[ninjamonkey1014]

Very helpful, thanks!

[Abel101]

Useful link.

[MariaKate]

I had many problems in my life (medical problems) and everyone found their solution in one place: reductil-sibutramine.net ... it might seem that I was trying to announce them but the reality is that I found this site in a forum like this and I was curious. I asked them something that has helped me a lot with my problem and since 2015 (my wife and I ordered it). I recommend it

[Campbell smith]

Thanks for sharing your post it very helpful.

[Matthew Tweedie Anxiety]

[Bradaz]

Hey everyone, I've been given a new link by my gp which is getselfhelp.co.uk it has all the worksheets and other resources they use but I would recommend going through it with a trained professional.
