Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Taylor, its me again. If you get tired of me replying just tell me to shut up. OK? I won't be offended. I just found your post this morning. I've been dealing with pretty severe back pain for about 6 years now. About 4 days after coming out of the hospital after a stroke, I began experiencing sev...

Well, I suppose the folks on the tapes are just a bit older now. :mrgreen: Just a tad. Sadly, one of the people on the tapes has passed away. But the principles of CBT are timeless. That's why the program still works today, like it did 20 years ago. Dr. David Burns wrote his first book on CBT 40 yea...

Hi Kucek. I can identify with chronic pain. At 62, right out of the hospital after a stroke, I began to experience back pain. it didn't come on gradually, but literally over night. At first gabapentin was sufficient to alleviate it. Over a year or more I had to go on stronger pain meds. It's somethi...

Taylor, I'm sorry for how you are feeling. It sounds as though you may have a type of illness that isn't typical panic/anxiety or major depression. I don't know.

What I am about to say will cause you to think less of me, but that's okay. In high school I was on the varsi...

I'd contact the Stresscenter to see if you can get a tape or a disc to replace the lost one. I got another relaxation tape some years back after I lost the first one.

I will definitely look into the book and unfortunately session 3 is the only one I don't have. I lost it awhile ago. I have always said im going to try the mood log but I never do. I feel like I would be writing things down all day long. I am having a really hard morning right now and can't stop cr...

I would suggest getting the book, "Ten Days to Self Esteem" by Dr. David Burns. He has so much good information in that book and he is a very compassionate, caring person. He has many suggestions on how to counter the negative, distorted thoughts that people with anxiety and or depression have. He g...

Hello Bryce, Thank you so much for responding. I have read your post a bunch of times when I am doubting myself or having a rough time and it always make me feel a little bit better. I am trying really hard not to get down on myself for not having a job but it is VERY hard for me. I beat myself up ...

Hoping those who have faith in Christ find comfort in Him through His Word.
