Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Robin... Well, I haven't gotten over it.. :) It hasn't gone completely away yet. It has been since December 27th. But I do think that it is improving. I notice it quite a bit, today in fact, and my torso goes numb too. Mostly around my back and sides, to match my face and neck and feet, legs. I g...

Thank you all for responding-this is such a wonderful place to be able to share your fears with others and they share some of the same things you do-it helps you to feel you are not crazy and alone with these problems. I have recently tried listening to my relaxation cd before I fall asleep amd i th...

I feel like I'm not really alive somehow detached from my body and emotions. about 6 months I started realized something was going on with me, I was at a party with friends when I guess you can say panic struck me all of a sudden I felt hopeless, lost, insecure, and the biggest one was that I was go...

Hi Joy! You have a wonderful name! I too have recurring nightmares/disturbing dreams. I dream 2 to 3 times a week about my daughter, probably because we have issues and I dream 2 to 3 times a week about where I used to work. I dream I get lost and can't find my way through the huge building where I ...

Hi, It sounds like you really mean business this time. A coach and a therapist along with the program should provide insight and support. I think the most important thing is to commit yourself to feeling better. Just take baby steps. If you have a bad day just start fresh the next and take another b...

Hey everyone, Just dropping in quickly (I've got to get to bed!) Yes it does get a lot better! I have finished the program but I'm still working it every day because I am not "cured". Are we ever "cured"? Maybe, maybe not. After Lesson 2 I didn't have another out of the blue panic attack again, unti...

Hi Pat15, You are feeling what we all feel when we start the program. We have a problem mainly because we stuff these negative feelings way down where WE can't even reach them! When you start the program basically you are thinking about anxiety and depression all the time, because you're working on ...

Hi All, I am suffering with depression now after almost killing off the anxiety and panic portion of my illness. It seems really bad - I have worked so hard to get over the terrible panic and agoraphobia over five years - only to now find I'm feeling very blue a lot of the time. In my twenties I wen...

I am sorry that you have lost both your Mom and your Dad. I have lost mine too. After my Mom passed, I would think "Oh, I've got to phone Mom and tell her about that!" and then I would realize she was not there. It took me 2 years to go through her two boxes of things from the nursing home. (I gave ...

Reading these posts has been good for us all I think! To see that we are all experiencing the same things - maybe some here and some there - is a good thing. Sharing our pain is very liberating. It seems to me that all these symptoms can be caused by negative thinking. Even those awful panic attacks...
