Its not cancer because I get the same thing its all part of anxiety or it could be the heat in your house. I get pains on the sides of my head in fact I have them tonight and its going to snow in NY. I also went for a MRI and it came back normal. So don't worry. Any questions you can email back Good...

I really never would have pictured myself being able to do this, but I submitted a manuscript not too long ago and actually got my book published. Usually my self-criticism would have gotten in the way of doing something like this, but I'm definitely less affected now by what other people think and ...

Is anyone else having a hard time with this? I know that I still am a negative thinker, but I wrote 1 thought down the whole day. Does anyone have tips on how to recognize when you are having the negative thought, because they are going right over my head.

thanks-good tips.

I started this session the Thursday before this past Thursday and through mid-afternoon Monday I was doing great. Lots of momentum from day to day, losing the fear of having a panic attack, and doing more and more each day. Then Monday at the gym I pulled a muscle pretty badly. So I had to take pres...

Wow, I'm nervous just reading that.....I used to go out on boats for hours w/out bathrooms but now forget it. Of course I know I'll eventually be able to do that again. I have an upcoming trip and I have to make a 6 hour drive from Phoenix to LA....long stretches of nothing between the 2 cities. I'm...

Usually I eat light so as not to encourage any stomach problems, but they prepared the dinner especially for our anniversary and it was so good that i ate more than usual. I felt fine for the most part but then as I starte...
