My doctor recommended The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook: "Simple, Concise, Step-By-Step Directions, 3rd Edition" http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/item.asp?Item=978157224223&Catalog=Books&N=35&Lang=en&Section=books&zxac=1 The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook is the book that therapists most often recommend to clients, and it has given help to hundreds of thousands of readers struggling with anxiety disorders. The new third edition has been substantially revised and updated to reflect new developments in the field of anxiety treatment that have appeared in the past five years. Highlights for the new edition include detailed treatment outlines for each of the seven major anxiety disorders, including current treatment strategies such as panic-control therapy, interceptive exposure, and pharmacology for all of the anxiety disorders; an updated and expanded chapter on medication, including more detailed information about standard medications and new medications; an expanded section on herbs and supplements that have recently become popular, such as Java, St. John?s Wort, and SAM-e; new guidelines for undertaking phobia exposure and new information for support persons who assist phobics to face their fears; and an updated list of resources and websites with help for coping with anxiety disorders.
The only problem is there is a 4th edition due to be released soon and I can't decide whether to get the current available 3rd edition or wait for the soon to be released 4th edition. It's giving me an anxiety attack

Are You or Were You Ever On Meds For Depression?
by minimus ini know so many people, not just witnesses that are on zoloft or similar drugs.
i know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them.
i know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......what about you?

Minimus. Thanks for starting this thead.
I was considering starting a topic on it last week, (felt a bit embarrased to do so) as I just started taking Paxil CR, and I've been living in my own personal hell for the past 10 days. I swear it was making my aniety levels worse. I had only 1 normal day last week, and the past 2 days have been OK.
I went back to the doctor's office 4 days in, and he encouraged me to stick with it and that most patients require 2 -3 weks before it evens out and works effectively.
And at $80.00 for a 1 month perscription, I'm sure glad I have a drug plan.
Anybody who wants to PM and share their information would be appreciated, otherwise I am probably going to PM a few of you who have related similar expereinces to mine.

What do I tell my children?
by Nellie ini have four kids - ages 18, 13, 10 and 6. .
first some clarification: i have been in the "truth" for 35 years, and although i have never been particularly active in the ministry .
for example: my 18 year old son really wants his ear pierced.

Welcome Nellie. I don't know how indoctrinated your kids are, but how will they feel. if you stop going to the KH.
Will they be afraid that they are going to die at Armegeddon? This may be the most difficult part of all, if they have come to equate being a JW with paradise!

Even though it's satire, it's not hard to imagine it being far off of the mark.

Maybe he'll only last as long as Pope John Paul I
I was hoping they would elect a young black homosexual cardinal.

I wish I wasn't so wordy, but it seems like everything is essential to the story!
Chia. It's therapeutic to put feelings to words. Once you start writing the emotions just come tumbling out, and it's hard to stop writing.
Take Care and Carry On!

Role-Playing & XJW Discussion Boards.
by hillary_step ini have been on this board for around four years.
at first i took what went on here quite seriously, well for about three weeks, but it then became quite obvious to me that the depth of role-playing that went on on these boards was so deep-rooted that it would be a foolish waste of time to do anything more than to read some of the more informative threads and delegate the rest to entertainment.
i hope narkissos forgives me for quoting something that he wrote yesterday, but his thought clearly encapuslates the reason why it is foolish to presume that you know, or will ever know the person who is posting by what they write, and why judgments on a persons character are more than often fatally flawed.
