Stress Center Peer Support

I have the exact same problem around women. When Im around my guy friends my anxiety level is normal. But for some reason around women I get really shakey and tend to avoid events with girls my age. My best friends sister continue's to ask me out and I panic thinking "what if." Inside I want to but,...

hi little lady...sorry to hear you were that miserable. You are on the right path though. :) Week 3 is a difficult week for alot of people. Have you tried journaling on the computer? Is there any way you could write your negative thought on the computer too. Of course you will probably be there all ...

Give your body time to adjust. Talk to your doctor about what you are feeling. I can totally understand your reaction. ...

Driving is still one of the hardest things to do for me. I get so tense and feel like im going to pass out and hit someone and kill them. People told me to listin to music or talk on the phone. For some reason listing to music made me more anxious, talking on the phone helped sometimes, but it didnt...

Shelly, The best thing about this program is that you realize that you are not alone. There are so many people dealing with the same thing. I used to work full time, volunteer, manage the family, get the kids here and there. I was always going 90 to nothing. I've been through some rough times and al...

Also I have added fiber into my diet through fruits and oatmeal and switched to whole grain white breads and pastas. I bought these books becuase the diabetic diet is t...
