Stress Center Peer Support

I'm on session 3 and I love it! I just am curious about a couple of minor issues: Are we supposed to listen only to the particular relaxation CD that came with the program or can we use any relaxation CD's? I'm just finding it hard to concentrate on the same one day after day after day. I need to ch...

Okay, so why am I up dealing with anxiety right now after midnight when I haven't had a panic attack in over month? Heavy rain that's been going all day and the stupid "flood warning" banner going across my T.V. I've had a hard time figuring out what triggers my panic and I get them so inconsistentl...

Rose_Thorn, I couldn't empathize with you more. I have a sister who left a career to stay home and raise her kids and became a different person. It has been 18 years and I just wish I could get her to do this or some program. It is not easy staying at home and it's even harder to admit that you don'...

Winter is new for me; it's only my second one....a co-worker of mine told me, "no winter lasts forever and no season skips Spring". I keep repeating that whenever I look outside. LOL. I wasn't home with my kids for very long (my husband is a stay-at-home dad), but I gotta say....NOBODY has a harder ...

I haven't listened to it, yet, but on CD 2 I can't stop thinking about what the doctor said regarding stress and anxiety causing all sorts of health problems, including cancer. I have to believe there is a reason for this. It's obviously the exception and not the rule but part of the anxiety is not ...

I've heard several people mentioning using the Live Journal on this site, but I can't seem to find anything pertaining to that.

What is it? Where do I find it?

Thanks!

I was watching an episode of Desperate Housewives a few years back and one of the characters (Felicity Huffman) had a nervous breakdown related to parenting and the rest of the women found her sitting in a park crying. When her friends unloaded their frustrations with parenting, too, her question wa...

Ronda, I agree with you. My biggest issue with drinking is that I want to decide whether or not to have a drink, rather than being afraid of it

I not only get nervous about drinking, but I get nervous being around people who are drinking. I work in a job that requires a lot of socializing and that happens to include alcohol. That is a huge struggle for me. I did used to drink quite a bit when I was much younger and now it's been 20 years. I...
