Stress Center Peer Support

Hi everyone, My son had a recent episode of choking with an M&M and now has a severe fear of choking no matter what he is eating. He is also losing some baby teeth, which seems to make his appetite even worse. Any advice on how to get him to resolve this fear? Since I also suffer from anxiety, it re...

Had to reply. Struggled with my first son, depression in pregnancy and post-partum with second. Tried everything except meds. Now on a regime of accupuncture and herbs that keep me calm and stable. The female system is depleted of a lot of nutrients and blood monthly and especially with pregnancy. T...

What are the TEA forms, if I may ask?

Hi there, If any of you are suffering from seasonal pollen/hayfever allergies, have you found any meds OTC that provide relief and no anxiety side effects?

You might want to start journaling. I just started aga...

My memory seems to be pretty bad in the throws of anxiety/depression. This may also be my OCD symptoms in the mix. I forget all kinds of things (forgot one kids hat and gloves yesterday, keys today). Anyone else? I get so preoccupied with worrying I can't keep anything straight. Is this also a sympt...

Hi Always Worried, I do this all the time, and it can change daily, weekly, monthly. I worry that I did something wrong, usually something really bad and out of character. If you look at my trail on-line, a few weeks ago I was absolutely convinced that when my next door neighbor was robbed, I did it...

OMG-I also freaked out after I watched that movie-too weird, or maybe this tells me that I am normal to think this. Thanks for sharing.
