The challenge is to do Tae-Bo 21 days straight to make it a habit. Any form of Tae-Bo counts, even the 8 minute tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2000 Report Share Posted October 15, 2000 Hey Dave, IMO, the group is mainly Tae-Bo, but also for those times when we need to vent/talk whatever. I don't mind if you either tell us here or give us an idea and then we can go personally to e-mail. I do hear you when you say you don't have anyone to talk to (whether it is this one issue or any other).

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Dear Anne , Thank you for your wonderful courage and honesty. Here's a thought: What you truly are is neither male nor female; it is beyond the body, beyond the mind, free of all limitations. It just witnesses the whole show. The appearance, however, is that you are (temporarily) inhabiting a woman's body, with all that goes along with that. Think of it as camping out. It is not what you are at all, at all. How can I know that it's true? Well it seems true, and it never varies. It's always 'there' when I question. Love Katharine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 I don't say much in this group.....but here's all I can think to respond to your openness....WOW! I think it's wonderful you found the truth in you and the peace that comes with that. Laurie O. (unknown) Hi!Today I did The Work and I discovered the most painfulbelief I have yet been able to produce: I don't wantto be a woman. Painful because I am - not a lot I cando about it.So many memories came back about adolescence. Notwanting to be like my mother (and have my father speakto her like he did), not wanting to be weak,dependent, emotional and many other things Iapparently thought a woman was.As I started investigating tension that I have alwayscarried in my chest started to ache unbearably. I sawhow I have resisted my sex my whole life and theamount of confusion and endless layers of alternating anger, jealousy and self pity was quite stunning. Nowonder I have created a situation in my body where Iam having difficulties getting pregnant.Connected to it was another belief: I am not womanenough. My proof: My breasts are the wrong size, Ican't have children, I am not pretty enough, I havetoo much temper, I am too much in the head.... I couldgo on.It's insane. All this suffering out believing thingsmy parents were saying and the countless messages inmy culture. I never stopped and investigated.Right now as I am writing my body is more relaxed thanI can remember ever and energy is still moving. I amso grateful for this Work.Love Anne _____________________________________________________Afstemningen om Danish Music Awards 2002foretages i år i Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Margaret, I've been lurking for a while now and I am amused by what I am responding to. I resonated so much with this post I had to look at the senders name again thinking I had sent off this e-mail myself unkowingly at some point :-) This is so true for me as well. In reading it what comes to my mind is instead of doing a sheet on " I shouldn't drink coffee " and " I should exercise more " I can try: If I drink coffee it means that............ If I don't excercise it means that........ Then do the worksheets on what comes up. How do I know I should be drinking coffee? Because I am. How do I know I shouldn't be excercising? Because I am not. I recently had to do a lot of walking and spent long days working. I found out I had the energy I required for what was needed. Prior to this I did worksheets, on my body being tired and not having the energy I needed, and I discovered it was my thoughts that were tiring me. I was so tense around protecting myself and my energy I had little left to do anything else but rest!! I substituted " thoughts " for " body " in the worksheets e.g. My body doesn't have the energy it needs - my thoughts don't have the energy I need (or my body needs). Doreen This morning I find myself doing the work for the zillionth time on " I shouldn't drink coffee " and " I should exercise more " . I get a little release but it is as short-lived sometimes as my next breath. In writing this now I realize I rarely ask myself what's the worst that could happen if I continue drinking coffee and not exercising. I'll never get proper energy My body will always feel achy and old I'll die never knowing what it feels like to feel good in a body, to feel alive and vital I'll always feel 'less than' these ones who can get their act together physically - like the movie stars, like Gwyneth Paltrow who does power yoga six times a week. (don't laugh - I'm laughing) I wonder why I can never get an exercise plan going. I've tried that oodles of times and it never works. I've given up coffee oodles of times and I'm back again in a week or two. In my sane moments I can see it's all about accepting, loving myself when I do these things. And sometimes I can get it that I'm not the doer. Feeling rather unenlightened around this and lighter just airing it this morning.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 > " People who do not use their real names are uncaring.? Is that true? People who do not use their real names don't " give a shit " . Is that true? You can't trust people that do not use their real names, is that true? " Hi April, The above assumptions do seem wierd and of course they are not true. But those are the thoughts that came up for me. They were a lead in to what was really triggering me. I perceive these people ( this is my story) as impersonal, cold, uncaring, gutsy, strong, fearless, not looking for approval. I have been heavily conditioned to be the opposite - nice, approval seeking, 'caring'. Anything that appears impersonal or uncaring is not allowed to express itself in me (i wouldn't have been loved when i was small if i expressed this energy). That's why 'impersonal' triggers me - I don't allow myself the luxury and freedom to be that way. Maybe the piece I wrote wasn't very clear - it's because I could feel the emotional charge of the core belief for me. Someone else could have a judgement on 'people should sign their names' and it could lead to a different place - a different core belief for them. I now realize I actually admire these people. I'm the last to know! Love, Margaret Mado.. > > I am new but something seems amiss..the basic question..

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Margaret, " Impersonal " triggers you.I am honestly trying to figure this out OK? LOL.. OK so you feel that if you are not " trying to please " you are impersonal? That is obviously a lie! LOL. so I suppose more finding of lies will open up your " real work " .

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Margaret, I agree with much of what you said.I do think however that the cycle is far more complex. I " tried to be this or that for approval " but NO ONE is really always GOOD. So there is the problem. We ARE " BAD " we ARE " inconsiderate " we are " irresponsible " . Because we hate those things in ourselves we tighten the strings of " control " .so we make more mistakes as the limitations are now even harder to meet. Then we cycle in the grand evidence. We " see " it in " others " .ewwww.they are " bad " ..lol...so then when I do it..I am " badder " ..I should just know better! No I get it..but I think the deal is not so much that we have to accept that it is OK to " make mistakes " as it is that we HAVE made them and it is OK... it is OK to forgive ourselves. If we forgive the past then there is no reason to control the future. We will forgive ourselves anyway and we are not afraid that we will become " sociopaths " .lol.. Actually this is an important thing to consider..if we had such people in our formative years.those that were very narcissistic or sociopaths in a sense then it is hard to see the boundary lines. We were not taught them and much is muddy. So finding the lie and " getting over it " and not dragging drama along for evidence is a cleaner way out. The fear that we might be hurt even by our own thinking is scary. That is just what we do.. We think and hurt ourselves all the time. Here is the " short work " LOL. just stop it! LOL.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Dear April, I had a reaction to something you wrote earlier - I've been wanting to push it under the carpet and not acknowledge it to you but that's not working because it's still 'at' me a bit. You wrote: " so I suppose more finding of lies will open up your " real work " . " I felt judgement towards you for implying I wasn't doing my real work when I believed most arrogantly that I was. When I had a look at this - God, I could sure find where I wasn't doing my real work. Thank you for bringing this to my attention - my reaction to your words brought me in to me more clearly.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Dear maryellis83, You asked for feedback. I loved seeing your Work unfold so naturally. It makes me realize so many posts to the LWI board are basically long " answers " to Question # 3; in other words, long entries of static or spinning emotional states. It's so great when we can get a handle on the background statement (usually a false belief) that got us into that state in the first place, and inquire as to its Truth (Qs 1 & 2) and so on (Q 4 and TAs). No one likes the answers to Question 3 (that is, there's no peaceful reason to keep believing in thoughts which bring on these emotional states); but we often spin around anyway. The human condition... Thanks for sharing your Work. It's so clear. Onewoman927 > > I lost my Dad? > 1 Is it true?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi Onewoman Thanks for the feedback. Last night I got to the thought that was really causing my distress " I shouldn't miss my Dad " . I guess i was trying to be all spiritual and over him, but I DO miss him - and that's okay! I shouldn't miss my Dad. 1 Is it true - what's the reality? I do miss him. 3 How do I react when i attach to the thought that I shouldn't miss him? I feel miserable, a failure, separated, isolated, downhearted, heavy. 4 Who would I be ... just a woman missing her Dad. Lighter, freer. TA I should miss my Dad - yeah! absolutely! I notice that when I'm doing the owrk on a subject, when I really get to the statement that's stressing me, the turnaround has much more power and reality in it. xx E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi, . This sounds like my now 11.5 year old daughter, in some ways. She always had lots of anxiety and was and still is very resistant to change. Even this year, the beginning of school brought lots of anxious behavior, but after a few day of the routine, she was fine. When my daughter was first diagnosed with ocd, the doing things over and over was her worst problem. She doesn't have any contamination issues with food or anything else, but does get very attached to " things " and wants to keep things for reasons that I don't understand. It does sound like ocd behavior. The prozac may be helpful, but if things continue in this way, you might want to think about getting her into therapy. My daughter started with zoloft in first grade. She started that before the therapy, basically because she was having meltdowns and so much anxiety that she couldn't function. But once we started the therapy, in conjunction with the meds, we saw a huge improvement in her behavior. She also has a tic disorder, which is sometimes seen adjacent with ocd, and she had a lot of " touching " tics. That may be something to watch for. I know it is painful to watch, and very scary, especially in such a young child. But, we, as well as many others on this list, have lived through it and come out okay. My daughter is now in 6th grade, and while still a fairly anxious child, is as happy and well adjusted as any of her friends seem to be at this pre-teen age. So, good luck to you all, and know that even if there are hard times, there are ways to help your daughter overcome this. > > > Hi, > > My six year old daughter has had some anxiety since an arly age. > She always had issues with clothing and new experiences were very > difficult for her.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 , I would start with a good therapist as well. You can find them in your area on ocfoundation.org and then " find a doctor - online " and " treatment providers list " . You really need one who specializes in ocd and is trained in both cbt and erp.  Everyone here has a similar story and I know the despair and feeling that things are spiraling out of control. It truly does get better. In fact, my 13 yr old has ocd and I have four younger children. I see little things here and there and always wonder if it will develop in them as well, but ocd does not scare me anymore. I think of it as a challenge or a puzzle that we need to find the help for. No one is immune to problems.  I know your daughter is on prozac that that may really help her; I believe very strongly in certain vitamins for ocd as well, that can be taken right along with the medication. I would put her on cod liver oil (make sure it is purified -- my family uses Nordic Naturals or Coromega), a Vitamin B complex and Calcium/magnesium supplement. I am a huge advocate of supporting nutritionally whether on medication or not and I think those three help more than anything.  You have found a great support site and lots of parent experts. Welcome to the group that everyone wishes they didn't belong to! in TN > > > Hi, > > My six year old daughter has had some anxiety since an arly age. > She always had issues with clothing and new experiences were very > difficult for her.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 My son too refused to go to school at age 10. He has a fear of failing 4th grade. He is an A+ student so he checks and rechecks his homework, though now that he is on Lexapro he checks the validity of every sentence that my husband and I speak. He checks to see if we are lying to him. We continued taking him to school every day even if I had to physically carry him (I'm 5'2 " -113lbs and he is 5'1 " -85lbs). It took 3 weeks and now he does not refuse to go. Our psychiatrist and therapist both told us we had to keep him in school and that was best for him. He did tell us that being in school was better than being home asking us questions, but that mornings were difficult. He did say his day was fine once we got him to school. He is exhausted on weekends with us because we are around for him to ask his every question and checking on us with every word we speak. He'll say things like " You said ALL kids love to play " ... " Did you mean Most kids like to play? "  " You aren't lying to me are you -- because ALL kids don't like to play. "  He will take every sentence and find fault. You might want to involve the school and make them aware of your situation. Our teachers were very supportive and the school counselor is very active with us.  We had a SOMA trained person (trained to handle kids physically) at our school and he would help me get him out of the car and take him to class. He was always very gentle. We classified our son as Section 504 so that we could get special treatment. Best thing we did. ________________________________ To: Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2009 10:05:52 AM Subject: (unknown) Hi,  My six year old daughter has had some anxiety since an arly age. She always had issues with clothing and new experiences were very difficult for her. Once she experienced something a few times (ex. two days of swimmimg lessons), she seemed O.K. In kind and 1st grade she complained of not wanting to go on the bus. This past weekend she confessed that she often needs to touch thngs and do things over and over. She keeps finding things on her food and wanted to keep her hair when she got her haircut. She is now having extremen anxiety before school and does not want me to leave for work. The psychologist said has OCD and the pediatrician put her on 5mg of prozak. I knew she had difficulty with change, but now she is openly touching things over and over again and does not want to go to school. It is so painful to watch. This is new to my husband and I. Does anyone have any advise or success story? I am so scared for my daughter.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 My now 11 year old daughter had a sudden onset of OCD behavior last August. It scared the daylights out of me! She was considered a " checker " - had to constantly " check " for marks that she thought she was making on couches, tables, etc. She also had intrusive thoughts (i.e thinking things could come out of the walls at night). I remember finding this list immediately and writing the last same line that you did....I'm so scared. It is very scary!! No one wants to see their happy little girl suddenly start struggling with life..... My daughter also had anxiety issues, but like yours once she did something new once or twice she was okay. Just extremely anxious leading up to the new event. I IMMEDIATELY took my daughter to counseling. It is not something that I ever thought I would have to do for my children but I was convinced that this was something that we could not handle at home on our own. My daughter is a bright girl and actually verbalized that she 'hated having to check all the time' while in tears about it....I knew this was out of our control. We did therapy twice weekly for 6 weeks and then moved it back to once a week for another month and then once a month, I think twice.....She responded extremely well to the therapy and learning to 'boss back' her thoughts. We used the " What to do When you Worry too Much " workbook at home and that also helped. We have not needed to go back to the therapist since October (fingers crossed). However I am still part of this list and learn more everyday from the people here. I know she'll always have anxiety and I am very in tune to how she responds to stress....if there is the slightest change I will be getting her right back to the therapist. I would consider us very LUCKY, we never did see a pyschiatrist or put her on medication, the therapy was enough....I believe she would be considered a mild OCD case - maybe more of a generalized anxiety disorder. She now reponds to the idea of 'what is logical', but when she was in the midst of the storm in August " logic " didn't help her from completing the compulsion. This was a whole new world for both my husband and me....neither of us have any issues in this arena. My mom does admit to a lot of anxiety though so there is something to say for genetics..... Sorry this got long winded ~ Just thought I would share my story. This group is a lifesaver to many...glad you found us.

It never occurred to me that it might be part of her OCD. I always just figured she was being a smart aleck. She's always been one to find any tiny typo, punctuation or grammar error in books and is sure to point them out to the nearest adult. Drives her teachers crazy . . . says she should be a proof reader when she grows up. If only she'd be so conscientious about her own work! LOL!
