Just as a suggestion. Try and listen in on the messages you are giving yourself. I have had them all. Believe me. And I don't mean focus on them I just mean recognize that you are doing it.

I definitely hear you and have myself felt that same way. I love your attitude but heres one thing that I let go of that may also help. I'm tired of hearing the magic wand theory that many say...

I absolutely do. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. I'm but no way undermining or saying anyone is doing this to themselves intentionally. I'm just saying that with a&d usually there is a...

In a way we are doing this to ourselves by the messages we are giving ourselves. What would be better is if we changed our bad thinking HABITS. That's right this is a habit almost like an addiction....

I just bought your book Rob and it's very good. Having dealt with anxiety and depression as well I can completely know what you were feeling. Anyway thanks for the thread.

I looked up your book Rob. Sorry for confusing you with another book. I'm sure I will pick up your book. Your story is inspirational.

Tea forming is tool to use to counter your thoughts. Thought-error-analysis. They are talked about extensively in the book "been there, done that, do this!" by Sam Obitz. Anyway you wrote earlier...

Have you ever thought that you may be choosing to be depressed. I know it sounds stupid but the longer you hold onto this belief that depression is rearing its ugly head the longer we keep it going....

A great source for cbt is a book by Sam Obitz called been there done that do this. He really allows to see the source of you anxiety is from a bad thinking habit. If we can change our thinking...

Listen to the language you are using on yourself. I know they are just thoughts and words but have so much impact in our belief in ourself. Try countering some of these thoughts. Tea forms....

I can tell you why it's not going away. That's simply because you keep it alive. Trust me I know what your feeling anxiety and depression sucks. And the feelings that are associated with anxiety....

Welcome to the club all. I had anxiety and depression since 16-17. I'm now 41. I've tried everything. I mean everything. I'm now working with a great cbt guy and have ditched the meds. It's been a...

Hey John
I also am into the cbt. Are you tea forming. This is a great way to alleviate a lot of anxiety. I'm moving onto wearing a wrist counter next. I hear you sounds like bullshit right. I always...

I was kind of thinking to myself after rereading your earlier entry that you are recovered. Although you know what Sam would say you really never had anything to recover from only a bad...

After reading Sams book I felt that is exactly what I needed and wanted to contact him. I have worked with therapists before and always found myself not keeping with it or not getting much...

Sam says that he always did his Tea forms in the morning but just doing them is progress. If we do them in the morning I couldn't agree with you more that we make it part of our routine or like Sam...

As long as you keep entertaining this belief and living in fear of your anxiety coming back it will make your recovery more difficult. I don't even like to say recovery because all that we suffer...

I have also read SAMs book. It's fantastic. I do the t forms usually in the morning. Generally people with a and d tend to constantly have negative thinking habits and these thoughts left...

Rob are you referring to the book been there done that do this. By Sam Obitz. It's a fantastic book but no need to get it on amazon. Tao3.com is where you get the book.

Amy. I know your on the right path and your right it won't just go away overnight. That's not to say there is no hope but rather that you've conditioned yourself to think in a certain manner that may...
