Thanks for the reply Shannon.

I understand and do not expect any further replies. Just for the sake of clarity regarding what is already going on, I did seek professional help. The closing words of the first specialist were “Stop stressing and be present,” and the other said, “Stay on the pills”. The pills do work as long as I take them, but they also give me a lot of side effects (which the doctors are aware of and seem to not care). I am now at a point where I either need to figure this out myself or travel abroad to seek help from other reputable specialists.

I would recommend looking for a specialist who believes more in proper psychotherapy than pills (but is not pill-averse, since you seem to need them) and attempt that. Then inform them you're gonna use a sub (I informed mine - she's still taken aback by the fact, but otherwise hasn't told me to *stop*, heh  ) and from the available ones, I'd go for PTRA and see how that works.



If you were my countryman, I could give you some recommendations as to psychotherapists, but failing that, you can consult the Internet or seek out local peer support groups of people with similar issues and ask them for recommendations (say you want psychotherapy that's more involved than platitudes. Start out with CBT, then go deeper - psychodnamyic/psychonalaytic).

If the lack of motivation lasts more than a month straight, it is often helpful to take a break from the program and use something else for a while.

Stage 0 looks really good. Ultra Success is another sub i really enjoyed, and I hoped you'd infuse it into AM7. Very nice!

I'm tempted to run it the full four months.

Will the Stage 0 through 7 pre-order page be ready today?

I don't know.  That will depend on how long I sleep, when I finally do.  I's 6:25 am here and I have been working literally all day and all night.  I also need a break.  Between how hard I have been piushing myself and being sick I need some time to rest.  So probably betwen 1 and 5 days.

But for the second, $650 a stage as Stage 0 is.

Thanks Benjamin.

The last few months (since November), my anxiety has shot up from what had been my constant for years, around 3 to 4 out of 10, to sometimes even 8 to 9 out 10. I manage to lower it in the moment with various practices, but it’s taking too much time, energy, and effort. When I stop the practices or get busy with other obligations, it comes back full-blown. I’m not even sure if I’m making any real progress.

On a physical level, I started noticing indigestion, hair loss, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms also occur during the day while I’m alone working in the office without any stressors, which makes me think it might be more than just social anxiety disorder. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the right specialists to give me a full picture. I had my hormones and some other possible causes checked, and the results came back normal.

I actually was in a place where I was having 9-10/10 panic attacks daily basically every day for a very long time. Sticking to the latest version of EPHRA and OGSF were what helped the most. I heavily recommend PRA as someone who went through extreme lifelong anxiety and came out the other side. I'm not Shannon or a doctor, just a fellow peer who went through something similar. It took me years to get better (and I had tons of doubts throughout), but I did get better and it was more than worth it.

Thanks for your input. I used Anxiety Relief Aid 5.5G years ago, and it helped me. I was planning to restart it, and I found out there’s a 5.75G version, so I started with that one instead. As Have at ye mentioned, we might get 6G as well, so until then I’ll stick with the 5.75G. The thing is, I used it for the first time last night, and I woke up calmer than I have on most mornings over the past few months. Time will tell.
