Stress Center Peer Support

I just had to jump in on this one. I am a patient of Dr. Colbert. Actually see his nurse practitioner and am multiple supplements for cortisol control, adrenal support, and stress management. Still have some problems with anxiety which is why i'm back on this program. By the way, I ended up in the E...

Well first, Congrats to you! Good job with all the changes you are making and the progress you are seeing. It's not easy so I hope you see how terrific you are doing! :) As for things I've improved on, I'm not in a constant state of stress anymore. I used to stress out if I sneezed! I'm picking my b...

I have a very demanding job. I have an hr commute each way and work about 9 hrs a day... all in all work takes up about 11hrs of my day. By the time I try to squeeze in the gym or anything else other then work, its late by the time I get home, then I rush to eat dinner by 8pm then I'm asleep before ...

I'm thinking of becoming certified in yoga. I think it will help calm me and ease my anxiety and its a goal of mine. Anyway,I want to stop talking about doing it one day and do it now! However, my schedule is going to be chaotic. I'll have super long days juggling work and long commutes and late nig...

I don't know if its a fear of driving, but I hate driving to places far (and I consider anything over 30 mins far) and I loathe traffic. I get sick to my stomach and immediately panic about having to go to the bathroom if I don't get out of the traffic ASAP. I find it helps to listen to the session ...

A big source of my stress comes from work. Without fail, every Monday morning I'm sick to my stomach, upset and most of all angry. I'm downright furious about having to go to work. I'm trying to work thru this and I don't want to quit because it's hard. I don't think quitting would even help, b/c th...

For the past week and a half I have been helping a friend through a difficult time in her relationship. I've been a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board for her to vent frustrations and played devils advocate to show her different perspectives to her problem. I don't mind doing this for people, becu...

I posted last week about prepping to go to a movie (haven't been in over a year) and I did it!!! I drove because it eased my anxiety, but once we were on our way there I felt great. When we got to the theatre my husband kept asking how I felt and I said I felt great! We got popcorn and soda (which i...

It's been about a year since I've seen a movie. Since I don't feel like I can come and go as I please in a theatre (it's dark, what if I trip going down the stairs, what if I can't find the place I was sitting when I come back, what if I get in someone's way and they can't see the screen, what if th...

My sister in law is very anxious. She battled her demons about a year ago and has been good since, although anxiety does rear its ugly head for her every now and then. However, when I'm with her, I become upbeat and find myself trying to ease her stress or talk her thru anxious episodes. Even if its...
