Stress Center Peer Support

This is awkward for me to admit, so please bear with me. I have been told by therapists in the past that I show minor OCD tendencies.. I am a counter and tend to be very organized..... those have been the only attributes. I worry now that my obessesive tendencies may be changing. As a woman in her 3...

imkay, I just got my program in the mail today...haven't even opened it. So do NOT be discouraged!! I feel awful now that I didn't explain that. I've used this forum off and on for some time now but just this week ordered the program. I've heard great things so I'm sure it will help. Good luck to yo...

I feel like I am in a deep downward spiral that there is no coming out of. For the past 15 years I have lived my life in a constant state of stress, anxiety and waiting. Waiting for the next shoe to drop. Waiting for the next phone call. Waiting for the next hammer to drop. I don't know how to live ...

Dear Songwriter: You know, I feel a lot like you a bunch of the time. Always have. I think I learned to distrust, suspect people's motives, and cringe sort of , as a child. I think about it sometimes. We learn that I didn't even think about it - I just naturally assumed that no one would ever really...

Lately I have been feeling like my life has just passed me by and is continuing to pass me by. I feel like I missed out on so much that now I am wanting to get all those years back.

That confrontation lead to the police being called, me being screamed at and tormented by my MIL, followed by a completely detached hu...

I am writing this not really looking for an answer really, but maybe just a conversation. I am struggling with the concept of change. Whether change is possible. Whether change is a good or bad thing. Is everyone capable of change? Having finished the program and now trying to live my life according...

We all have those days. Please don't let it discourage you. Mornings are difficult for some and nights are difficult for others. What I have found helpful to me is to get going in the morning. When that alarm goes off, don't hit the snooze button, I guarantee you that you will feel more exhausted if...

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this post, but here we go. Has anyone felt like a hipocrit after starting this program in regards to their relationship with their significant other? I have been with my husband for 14 years (dating and marriage) and now that I have begun working this pro...

Ivan, I am in total agreement that you need to work on you first. Once you have you figured out, everything else will fall into place. I think you will find there are lots of women out there (me included) who would love a man who just wants intimacy and not only sex. What happene to the old days whe...
