Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Lisa, I'm on lesson two also and I can relate to those morning dreadful feelings. I find that once I get busy they pass. I used to have panic attacks, maybe 15 years ago and I have learned to manage them but like you I still deal with those anxious feeling and I'm just tired of battling them whic...

Hi Jason, I don't have any experience with Zoloft but I have with Xanax. I understand your concern. I found that once I had a panic attack my body became sensitized and the cycle of panic attacks would begin. It was important to stop those and let my system calm down. My doctor was great at using Xa...

Wow, I can sure relate to what you are saying about being around negative people, it is hard enough to change ones thoughts without others adding to it. I am trying to learn to detach from those negative comments and to try and surround myself with positive people whenever I have the chance. I joine...

One thing that helped me a lot with the depression was to set aside 10 minutes every day to write down things that I was thankful for. Very simple things, like the way the sun shines in my window, the birds on the feeder, the smell of lilacs, soft PJ's, healthy grandchildren, music, etc. Gratitude w...

You are doing GREAT. The key isn't to go out without anxiety or panic, it is to look the anxiety is the face and say, "you can't hurt me, give me your best shot" Actually feeling anxiety right now is a good thing because only then can you learn that it won't hurt you. You are doing amazingly well.
