Susanne hopeful 12-08-2003 @ 12:53 AM                              Member Joined: Oct. 2003 Tinas, keep it up even if you don't think it's working.  Even when you still have the physical symptoms.  I didn't think that it was helping at all when I started doing it.  Then I noticed after a while that my thoughts  were changing, and the challenging thoughts were coming more automaticaly.  Don't get me wrong, I still have a long way to go on this, it's been hard work and sometimes it still doesn't help when it gets really bad.  But since I have had some success with it, I think that it can help even more.  Good luck and keep trying!!! mjhatton 12-10-2003 @ 9:38 AM                              Member Joined: Dec. 2003 I'm going to start the third week of the program this week.  I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow regarding the addition of a beta blocker. I have no interest at all in feeling any of the sensations of panic.  I have agoraphobia, and have been living panic free in a lifestyle that although limited was working for me. However, my husband/safe person left me this year, and now I'm being forced into situations I have avoided for a long, long time. I'm taking Effexor and Ativan, and I'm going to have him add a beta blocker, and then start the exposure work. My issues are boundaries, driving, and heights.
