Stress Center Peer Support

I appreciate all the replies. Thank you!

Hi all, I need to talk about what is going on for right now and maybe others can relate and/or support. The symptoms that seems to be predominant right now if that sense that I cannot get enough air in. I can't take a deep breath and this is a trigger for me. Even though I understand the SOB is an a...

Know that you are far from being alone in that thought! It is not easy but the reality is that recovering from anxiety/panic/dep is very doable. Thank God it is a condition that can be overcome.

It will take time and practice to really listen to what it is I am telling myself when any physical sensations come on. Unfortunately, my...

Hi ca2, Im sorry, I have no experience with Cymbalta, but I know that there are hundreds of diff meds that are available.
