Stress Center Peer Support

Dear Abbette,
You're not alone in how you feel. It is definitely frustrating trying to overcome this disorder. But tens of thousands of people have done it, through this program or therapy. Can you think of something kind you can do for yourself today?

To All, I would check in on my thoughts consistently throughout the day, since, it is impossible to write down every negative thought...I would wear a rubber band on my wrist, and flick it every time that I caught myself thinking a negative thought...This helps to bring yourself back to the present,...

Get going with the program ! It could be the way you present yourself without you even being aware of it. It could be people reading between the lines of the things they you may say.

There is nothing wrong with needing medication to help you get by. I would do CBT along with the meds to get...

My advice it to relax and experience it! Many of us with A&D have problems distinguishing between anxiety and being excited! You have some safe people going with you so you will be fine. If you have a panic attack on a plane you will certainly not be the first. Tell your flight attendent of your fea...

Just this morning on Joyce Meyer's Enjoying Every Day Life, show, Dr. Myers says all depression is caused from anger turned inward! God tells us not to let the sun go down on our anger, because it is good for us to Forgive, and let God handle any thing, or any one we are angry with. God is our Defen...

Soooo....whats with the 1 step foreward, 5 steps back thing? Im having a really hard time right now with my family and my life and my stress level. I want to blame it on the circumstances, (we're renting our house out, moving, my husband is changing careers again, Im starting school and trying to go...
