Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm so sorry your lost your brother last year as well. My brother was 45. Entirely way too young. I think I spent so much time trying to convince myself and the world that I was okay with what happened that I just bottled everything up and it sat and in...

Oh boy, I've been there! Even when starting the program I felt worse for what I thought was forever. My thoughts circled a lot and I felt like a dog chasing his tail. I'd have a good day or two, then spiral for a week then back. If I got a new symptom or one of my usual ones got scarier, I'd obsess ...

I needed to hear this today. Thank you

I really needed this today.

Faith,rod and boon, you are all wonderful, and so are all of you that have responded as well

Jeremy, You should be proud of yourself. I know exactly what you are going through. I was there also, not able to even go out of the house, let alone drive with anyone anywhere, even around the block. Then I promised my grandfather we would take him to north carolina to visit his brother. We drove t...

Hey brother, I know how you feel about alone time, and you're right: most people won't understand why you would rather be alone. I used to get pissed off at how they would judge me or lay on the guilt. I would just want to shout: Why is it such a big deal!? But yelling would make it worse, so I kept...
