I'm sad that no one ever responded to my last post here. I hope everyone is doing well? I am doing great and must admit when things are going really well I neglect to check back in here and I apologize that for that. I do think of all of you often and am curious how everyone is doing? I hope you are all doing better than me yeah

Big Bear,

I can assure you that many of the members are using CBT and are truly doing well with it. 

I have included your thread in the resources ( CBT threads) for anxiety at the top of the forum a while back. I updateed the Anxiety Resources today.

Bigbear,

Ditto what Kitt has already said to you. Please update us on how you are doing when you can? I am doing outstanding and still countering my thoughts in the TEA forms almost everyday. Maintenance beats damage control as Scaredy Cat pointed out on another thread.

Kitt- The other thread was locked so I couldn't bump it.


CBT works if you work it yeah

CBTgirl,

Your posts are awesome! I just relied to one on the depression and clicked your name to look for more. I have been symptom free for over 7 years now and I used the TEA forms and the Obitz book to get me where I am. I never thought I would be thriving and as happy as I am today. Keep up the good work!

Wow, I can't tell you how awesome it is to see so many others that have had success with CBT and the TEA forms tongue
I never expected to see so many posts on my thread. Very gratifying. I always said if my story could just help one or two people it was worth telling, but never expected so many to join in!
I am living the life of my dreams now...okay maybe not the one I dreamed about as a kid, but it so surpasses the expectations of what I thought was possible with my anxiety several years ago it feels like a dream.
Anyway, I hope everyone who reads this finds success is managing their anxieties and happiness in their lives.

BigBear~

CBT worked for me too, and I have to say its really a type of lifestyle change in general. I struggle here and there, but by leaps and bounds I am much better. I believe truly in the power of positivity. Thanks for sharing! :>

I'm overwhelmed by all of your kind notes to me. Now I really feel guilty for being absent! Life continues to go well for me and my main complaint these days is a lack of time, seems like I am always busy now. So glad to hear my story has been helpful to others and I will try and come back at least semi regular to add what I have to what all of you are saying about CBT and recovery. I still use my TEA forms but only as needed these days as my brain operates like a TEA form these days which is awesome.
Hugs to all!

Hi big bear just wondered if you had info on your TEA exercises ? Im having cbt atm but am not practicing as much as I should since starting meds as im starting to feel better and sometimes the exercises make me delve into it all then I cant shut down again. I need something I can do that just takes a short time as once I get into it im often doing it for couple of hrs and I don't have time for that and that makes me anxious. Great to hear your positive experience.
