Stress Center Peer Support

Hi - I have found OCD to be very exhausting - so much so, that sometimes I can't do anything except sit and Obsess. My problem is more witht Obsessive Thoughts than the Compulsions, also. I'm so impressed that you work 8 hours a day! I only work part-time, and sometimes that is very difficult. It is...

Thanks for the info. I have been trying to start the tapering process, but the doctor I have now is kind of negative about me doing it. I am on 150mg right now. It seems like whenever I start talking about weaning off he starts throwing stuff at me about why not too. I have been on it for a little o...

Hi. It's a very common anxiety symptom. Do your relaxation and use your journal. There may be some issues you're dealing with or that you may be unaware of that may be adding more anxity.

GaleD, Thanks for the response. I agree that often we probably apologize needlessly because no one even registers what we think we've done wrong. I am practicing so hard this week trying not to have any expectations of anyone. It's interesting and has definitely taken a load off my shoulders to a de...

Yes, I have had the blood work done also and my iron was a little low, but Im pregnant so that is pretty common. He said everything else was good with that though.

I once had a friend Always so close, we would blend. She never let me down, always cheered me up. Made sure I was never alone, my honor she would defend. She encouraged me, made me laugh, fixed me pink Jello and called it, a giraffe. Then One she was gone:( Just suddenly disappeared! And She seemed ...

I agree, too. I have been taking natural progesterone for anxiety related to premenopausal symptoms - I am 47. I am wondering if I can really work with the anxiety feelings and not have them escalate that I can stop taking the hormones. Even thought they are "natural" there are still health risks in...

Way to go AdeleS. May God be with you.
