"I didn't have any energy for anything. Keeping up with the facade was more than I could manage. I'm just one of those people that for some reason or another have always had a chronic, low level anxious feeling inside me. And then it would escalate into these gripping panic attacks where I couldn't breathe and my hands would sweat and my heart would pound. I would just want to run screaming from the room because I knew people could see it or that some way someone was going to know. I couldn't even stand being in my own skin. If you were somebody else describing me you would think that I had it all together. I had a pretty nice facade built up on the outside. On the inside I was dying. I was on a quest my entire life to find out what was wrong with me and fix it, it was so uncomfortable and so depressing. I would look out the window in the bathroom and just cry and think, "everything seems like it should be OK - why do I still feel like this inside? Why do I feel so bad?"
As I went through the program it was the only thing that ever led me to understand in my own words what was going on with me. For the first time in my entire life, somebody knew what I'd been through. I feel like it's given me such a gift of process first of all, and new eyes, I can see the whole world in a different way. It saved my life, quite literally. It really did. If anybody's out there that thinks they can benefit from this program, I really do recommend it because it saved my life." |
