Stress Center Peer Support

I posted this in another thread and wanted to start a thread about it because I am not ashamed to talk about it anymore. I need help. The mind is a very powerful tool that can be used in a destructive way. I struggle with self-perception? (I guess you would call it that). They say self-perception is...

My advice is stick with the program. You will have a different view of life when you are finished and perhaps make a more informed decision. I remember feeling frustrated with my spouse because I did not feel supported when I was completing the program. If your spouse really loves you he will make s...

Can someone offer some practical steps of how I can regain my interest in the things of life again? This is a scary place to be. Once I get out of this funk I never am going to return so help me God.

Please pray for me. I've lost interest in what seems like everything. This is a scary place to be. I remember when I used to love life and was enthusiastic about the things of life. I couldn't wait to get home and finish up the chapter where I left off at in my bible... I've always struggled in my p...

"Keep waking up." That's a quote that a wise man once told me when I said "I just don't understand the WHY in life."

Hi MsPurple, I'll send you the entire poem in a private message. My mom once told me that if you can leave this world with ONE friend, you've experienced a miracle. Don't feel alone because true friends are very hard to come by. Do you know what the biblical definition of a friend is? Ultimately som...

I too am going through a similar situation at my current job. But I thank God that I just had my second interview and I think I got it! I work in an open space environment (bullpen) and I'll never do it again. I've come to find out that I need privacy at work in order to do what I do. I bet the guy ...

Hello all, I'm new to the forums but I feel right at home with some of the posts that I've read. I'm thankful for empathy here. I've been at my current job for a year now and this has been the most excrutiating year of my life thus far! From working at this job, my anxiety has increased tremendously...
