Stress Center Peer Support

I was just on another threadline, when the topic came up about isolating oneself, and what happens if you do it. I have had panic disorder/agoraphobia since I was 11 years old, and of course, I didn't know what it was back then. I am 55 years old now, and I have been a "hermit" at different times du...

The thread about believing that you have EVERY possible side effect that a medication can cause, so you don't read the the print out that comes with the medicine, is SO true! To be honest,I have not taken my medicine too many times to tell, or been too afraid to take them at the higher levels that t...

I have just recently purchased Lucinda's program, "Combatting Stress and Depression Program", and shortly after getting it, I found out that my roommate was leaving,and leaving me with all the bills.

Now I do already know that when I am under moderate/severe anxiety, I have always shown that I have trouble with my memory, as well as ...

That is so true, and yet, so hilarious, too. And I truly am NOT making fun of you, either; it just makes perfect anxiety/panic disorder sense! It really does! I am VERY drug sensitive; and I have a lot of "oppositional responses" to drugs as well. I have definitely, many, many times; gone to the doc...

And this one happened yesterday. I had a doctor's appointment with a specialist whom I don't really have much respect for, but since I was referred by my family doctor, I went. I certainly wasn't looking forward to it, though. And of course, the avoidance mindset started off great guns. But this tim...

I am so happy to find a threadline about the humor that actually DOES exist having agoraphobia, anxiety/panic disorder. Cause there really are some beauties, and it's good to be able to laugh about just how ridiculous our mindsets are, especially in the clear light of day, when we stop trying to hid...
