Stress Center Peer Support

P&P and worryguy, Computers can be a blessing and a curse! I am really trying to stay away from googling symtpoms. Our minds are very powerful BUT we have the ability to control which way they go. Just gotta keep telling ourselves that! ;)

Some people struggle with going to the doctor, I seem to ...

Well, I got my answers today and it is amazing how far off target fear can take us. Googling symptoms is FOR SURE not a good thing to do. I just had sciatic nerve pain in my leg and the blood test result was nothing. BUT my family doctor was not able to tell me this so I am planning on getting one ...

P&P,

I know you are right about the googling. I just don't trust doctors. So, I over research myself and then I get myself worked up. Not good! Thanks for reminding me googling is not a good thing! S

Hello. I recently went to the ER and they ran some blood work. Everything came back fine except my D-dimer was a little elevated. They did a CT scan and it came back fine.

So today when I went to my family dr. she was a little surprized about the level but didn't do anything about it and the ER ...

Sparkus,

Thank you so much for sharing your success story. I needed to hear it too. I will probably even save it to my favorites so I can look at in when I am struggling. There has been times I wondered if I would ever really be "normal" again and you sharing your story gives me hope that I will ...

Hello Rosie,

I am so sorry to hear of your battle with leukemia but glad to hear you are in remission. Having any kind of chronic illness is a stresser to our minds and bodies.

When I saw your question, "now what, what do I do?" the only thing that came to my mind is to take one day at a time and ...

Hi Giga,

Hello and sorry to hear you too have had times of judgment from others. I think it is part of human nature to do that, but it is definately wrong. I've experienced it from family members also. We've probably all been guilty of it at one time or another.

It is a blessing to have the help ...

Mimi,

I pray you do well on your journey out of anxiety/depression. I'm not sure what you have struggled with but I know it is God's will for you to be whole: spirit, soul and body.

Thank you for the compliment but I feel I am just another person overcoming anxiety issues and trusting in the Lord ...

Hi Mimigirl,

I am so very sorry to hear that someone has been doing that to you. That is NOT what true Christianity is about. It has happened to me too and you have to be confident in your walk with God and not let someone else judge you. I have been walking with God for over 20 years and when it ...
