Some of you might remember me from months ago when I was like you all searching for the miricle cure and trying anything and everything to get ANXIETY free. Well I have done it.

Short history - I was diagnosed with anxiety when my daughter was 8 months old, my symptoms however had been around for a few years before that they just peaked after her birth. I was put on xanax .25mg and was taking up to 4 a day at some stages. I was also given effexor to try - they took away the feelings in the short term but I had no life because I was so worried about the symptoms returning.

In November my life was the worsed it had ever been. I could hardly cope with daily activities and my work and family where suffering. In December I made an appointment to see a phsycologist. We worked on CBT, took out some of my safety behaviours by working on each symptom one day at a time. From my first session I did not take another xanax!!I had been on them for 2 years! I went to a session once a week, at $150.00 au a session it was pricey but I would have paid $1000.00au per session to get to where I am today. I had a total of 12 sessions and for the past 3 months I have been anxiety free. TOTALLY - I am back to normal and I am the happiest I have ever been. I am confident, I am fit (I walk 4 days a week and do sit ups each night) my hair is always nice, my clothes are always smart and I am ALWAY happy and smiling. My daughter has her mum back and I found the courage to leave an unhappy marriage. My husband and I are very good friends and we are both happier then we have been in a while!!!

So all I can say is go to a Phsycologist - work on each area that needs working on COMMITTEE WHOLEY and SOLEY and YOU will be ANXIETY FREE.

I have passed on my experiences to 2 friends that I met on this forum and another and they to have taken this step and are 90% cured. and are so confident that they will be 100% in no time.

Thanks for reading and best wishes.
