Heather I KNOW how you feel!! It does take a lot of time
to get feeling better. and I know it is never soon enough!!
There are so many things going on in our lives that need
our attention it makes it hard to just "get well."
I know there is no magic answer--- what is good for one person
might not be for someother. JUST KEEP TRYING that is all you
can do! Remind yourself that you are doing all you can to help
yourself! Having anxiety stinks!!! Give yourself some hugs!! Judy

You are doing the best you can, Heather. In spite of feeling depressed & that you aren't making progress, you are now seeking help through IOP. That is a great step forward. Like many of us, you are guilty of focusing on the negative. When those thoughts nag @ you, replace them with positive thoughts. It took me along time to get through some very severe spells of anxiety, like you are experiencing. It is hard. But, it WILL NOT last forever. All spells of anxiety burn themselves out. You need to stop adding the fuel. I hope you get into the program soon. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan
