Stress Center Peer Support

My husband wants a book. He wants a book directed at significant others and how they can help and better understand their loved one's anxiety disorder.

I can relate. In a different way, in that I am married and have two beautiful children and am settled as a Stay-At-Home-Mother in Illinois.

Anytime, anxiety hits me I have to know what my blood pressure is (constant monitoring with a wrist monitor), I have to know what my temperature is (instant read ear thermometer) and I ...

I too am starting the program again - today.

Why are we letting ourselves slip like this? I ask myself this question and get upset and demoralized just thinking about it.

I did the program (only about 4 weeks worth, if I recall) 5 years ago now.
