Yes I Did Try This Posted: 08-09-05 08:32am
Hi there,
i suffer with panic disorder and have
agoraphobia, so my doctor tells me. I'm
on lexapro at the moment, although this
lifts my mood,i'm not finding it helps me
with reducing my anxiety. I find the best
way to reduce my anxiety is by being in
control of the situation, and making
decisions for myself, not being bullied
into doing things on other peoples terms.
This way, I feel like i'm doing something
because I want to do it and not because I
have to do it, which reduces my anxiety
levels emmensely.
I have among many things tried the linden
method, and although I would say that it's
a good guide for anxiety sufferers and has
some good techniques for relaxation, I
still haven't got rid of my anxiety or my
agoraphobia. I feel that the best method
is probably neuro lingistic programming,
which is performed by hypnotheripists , as
this changes the emotions that you link to
certain situations or stressors and makes
you feel more in control. Neuro
associative conditioning, and programming
are the most advanced methods of dealing
with these problems, and the most
effective in my oppinion, as they teach
you to forget the anxiety that you
attached to a situation.
Any investment regarding your health or
personal development is a good one in my
oppinion, but only if you really have the
finances, it's not worth getting yourself
into debt over, as this just adds more
stress,
good luck

Never tried the linden method, but have
tried the lucinda bassett program. It
has some great things, but I just need to
take the time to complete the program

That is great news.
I am hoping that I can contain my anxiety
before I get house bound or before it
interfers with my life. At the moment I
carry on as normal and deal with the
anxiety as it happens - telling myself
that it is only anxiety and could be
nothing else. When I first started
getting sick I was hopeless I wouldn't
even go into my backyard for the fear of
passing out or something like that. I am
much better since I had all my test done
and they come back normal. Now I just
deal with it.
Keep me posted how you get on, great to
hear that you are getting your life back.
I can't wait to get the program and get
started

Hi i`m new to the forum but I think being
able to talk about anxiety really helps.
I have suffered from anxiety for about 6
months it started for me by catching a
viral illness which affected my nervous
system. I had endless trips to a&e
convinced I was dying, day in day out I
was living in fear, fear of the what ifs,
fear of every sensation in my body. I was
taken into hospital for scans of my brain
and I had the most horrible sensation that
I was not really here, now I know its
called depersonalisation. I got the all
clear which helps so much but the thoughts
still pop into my head. I purchased the
linden method which i`ve been doing for
just a few weeks, everything he says makes
sense we`re the only ones who can get
ourselves better though its far from
easy!!!! I don`t suffer from panic
attacks now and even if i`m scared or
fearful I do go out and I make myself do
things. I try to get so involved in what
i`m doing rather than dwelling on what i`m
feeling. I may sound like i`m on my way
to being "normal" but far from it, tonight
for example I have not being doing
anything so my mind has been wandering
thinking up new scary thoughts, I guess we
all have good days and bad days.
I suffer from depersonalisation due the
constant high levels of anxiety which is
the most horrific feeling, its hard to
describe but if you have it you know how
distant you feel, like a robot really.
I`m on citalopram which if I had been
diagnosed now I would try to have not
taken them but at the time I was a wreck
so it has helped. It`s not going to be
easy but i`ve got to keep fighting. If
anyone else has any experiences of the
linden method I would love to know how you
are getting on!

This is great news for me. I sent my
money order off last week so I am waiting
on linden method package arriving.
I have only heard good reports - I think
that as long as you commit to it (and why
wouldn't you) then it will work. Plus
there is a 1 year money back guarantee, so
if for any reason you where not getting
results you could sent it back.
At work yesterday a book arrived in our
book club called "changing your thinking"
and in small letters "your answer to
stress, anxiety etc"
i was so excited, took it home and read
200 pages only to be very disappointed!
Told me how I was feeling but it also told
me that I have thoughts that make me feel
this way. I don't! I can be doing
nothing and thinking about nothing and all
of a sudden I feel really bad. Chest
pain, dizzyness, shaky, disorintated etc -
you know the drill. So I can't stop the
thoughts if I don't know what I am
thinking!!!
This is why I am so excited about the
linden method - charles states this in his
introduction and he has been through
anxiety for year! How can people how to
teach others about anxiety if they haven't
ever expereienced it???
Anyway, keep me posted on how you go and
when I get started I will post back on
here how I am going.
Good luck

You won`t believe how easy it is what the
linden method is about, I mean I read it
and I was amazed I never thought of it
before. I can`t say i`m seeing a new me
as of yet but i`m certainly changing how I
approach my anxiety. Today I have had a
really teary, emotional, crappy day but
later on I did exactly what charles told
us to do and it certainly does work.
Anyway tomorrow is a new day and it might
just be the day I take another step
towards wellness.
I don`t want to spoil it for you so I
won`t tell you what it`s all about but I
will say that at first I thought i`m kind
of doing this already it`ll never work but
after reading it you realise your not
doing it properly at all. Would like to
hear from you, I hope it works for us
all, a 96% success rate can`t be a bad
thing!
Good luck

I am sooooooo happy for you - you are my
insperation, now I am even more excited
about getting the program. Well done
mate keep going and make us all so proud
-well I already am so proud of you.
I am still waiting on delivery of the
program.
I have had heap of stress headaches lately
and a bit of back and chest pain - not
that bad that I can't keeping working etc
but the headaches make me dizzy and of
course the chest pain makes me think all
stupid thoughts. Bring on the linden
method!
I have a 16 months old daughter - my world
- I am hoping that in between working
fulltime and being a mum I can manage to
committ myself fully to this program!
How do you go debs, what is you life
situation like and do you find that you
have heaps of time for the program?

Linden Method Posted: 09-21-05 17:46pm
Hi bek,when you get your package of the
linden method,have a look at it and then
work out after having looked at it how
long it will take you to read,split it up
if you have to,i worked it around my
family(they are all teenagers,and then
there,s my hubbie)so after doing the
evening meal(after coming home from work)i
would get all my jobs done then ask my
family not to disturb me for at least an
hour,this may be difficult for you with a
young child,but you will find time,what
about your partner or family perhaps they
could look after your daughter for an hour
in the evening?The relaxation disc you
listen to is best done when going to
sleep,i found it the best time to listen
to it,it really does help,good luck and
good health.Pip x

Hi bek,
istarted today as always feeling crap and
worried about my feeling of impending doom
and although i`m not working at the moment
the one thing the method says is to fill
your days with activity. It`s ok saying
that when you feel crap!
But I got myself together put on the war
paint and felt worried and anxious but I
got out there and I did it anyway. I have
made sure I went out my house as soon as
this started as I didn`t want to fear
going out, it seems to have worked. I
think exercise is my new habit, I do it
everyday and I feel so much better after
it, since i`m not allowed to go back to
work yet it`s hard filling your day and
resist the temptation to slouch in front
of the couch.
It is soooo my negative thinking that has
perpetuated everything but i`m now quite
concious of when i`m doing it. I still
feel weird but a lovely guy on here has
been helping me with that. I think i`m
less panicky but I am visiting a
homeopathic hospital next week which I
hope will help me find other ways of
relaxation and ways to help me get through
it. I saw a homeopathic doctor during my
illness and he knew exactly what was going
on, lets hope he has the answers to! I`m
gonna e-mail something to you, you can let
me know if you have it or if you want all
the other parts. I haven`t started it yet
but I hear its better than the linden
method!
