Stress Center Peer Support

Maybe I just don't get it. My panic goes from a zero(no anxiety at all) to a ten(full blown panic) in 5 seconds. How do I control that? How do I know I am about to have a panic attack and start my breathing etc. if it happens so fast? By the time I realize I am having a panic attack I am already at ...

Why would the Stress Center be advertising a diet fab? Are the emails coming directly from the Stress Center? If not are they sharing our information with other companies for solicitation reasons? I hope not. The Sensa diet is a new fad for weight loss. You sprinkle this stuff on your food and it is...

I would like to introduce myself again. I am forty something and I have been having anxiety attacks and suffering from agoraphobia for some 30 years now. I am venting so be prepared.

If I stop what I am doing and suddenly starting writing, my employers would probably want to know what I am up to. I realize this is a v...

I work near railroad tracks and until recently didn't pay attention to the never ending trains going by. Then one day a train's air hose or something broke and the tracks were blocked for 2 hours which caused horrendous(spelling) traffic and I had a panic attack that was off the scale. Now I have an...

Hi Yellowrose - this disorder is definately genetic and I think you need to consider that she may be having some issues. There is a reason she will not let anyone get too close...because she is afraid that they won't like what they find. I too got straight As in college and always had a job to pay m...
