I just finished a book called "Excuse me, Your life is Waiting" by Lynn Grabhorn. It is not specifically about dealing with anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder
Separation anxiety
Stress and anxiety but it a very humorous, brutally honest look at how life sucks sometimes and we have the power to overcome more than we think we can. I have become so sickSick sinus syndrome over the years of books specifically on anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder

Stress and anxiety, but there are some that make you feel confident in yourself and that you are not alone. Hope this helps and hope you feel better soon.

"Full Catastrophe LivingAdvanced care directives" by Jon Kabat-Zinn is not bad. You can get it used and cheap on Amazon or some other net site.

I forgot to mention that I purchased the program almost two years ago and after two weeks of doing the program my panicPanic disorder

Panic disorder with agoraphobia attacks, I'm fine with that :-), but it DOES do so much more!!

I'm using the Midwest Center program too.  Just started about two weeks ago.  It is more like $500 now (DVD's included).  I'm not sure if I should pay the full amount or buy it on Ebay.  I checked it out and there were some going for much cheaper.  I wonder what would happen if I called them directly and asked for a better deal since I can get it on Ebay.  Worth a shot.  I do really like Lucinda Basset.  Her energy is infectiousInfectious endocarditis

Stress and anxiety level has risen since using the program though. They did mention that that may happen.  It just seems like I need a break from thinking about my "issues" so I go a couple of days without listening.  Stop and start.  Gotta commit to this!

And a book I just read was really sweet.  The Happiness Makeover by MJ Ryan.  Short chapters on how to make life more happy.  I really enjoyed it.  I got it from my local library.  I'd start there firstFirst progesterone mc10

Good luck!

I know what you mean about the increased anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder
Separation anxiety
Stress and anxiety when starting the program, but I realized a few weeks into it that I was worrying about not worrying anymore.  I actually thought to myself, "what if I stop worrying about my health and it ends up I was right to be worried afterall !!"  But then I said "I have been this way for 5 years now and what I feel hasn't killed me yet.  I will give myself completely to this program for 15 weeks (just under 4 months) and if I don't see a change I will know something is wrong."  I gave it my all, and by the end of the program I felt 100% better.  I knew that I had been doing it to myself with my "self-talk".  I am doing the program again expecting the same benefits.  When I'm done I will post my results.  Good luck to you, and enjoy your precious present moment!!!!!
