Stress Center Peer Support

I really liked this session too, because I am often dissapointed by people's reaction towards me. I guess I expect people to be good to me just because I am good to them. I need to reavaluate my golden rule. I am slowly learning to accept that I may treat people nicely and they may not treat me ...

INFJ Lady,
It might help if its possible for you to look on the bright side. It's going to make your teeth healthier and stronger once the work is done. It's being done to help you not the other way around. Remember its only in the mind that you will gag, more times then not nothing will happen ...

GI822,

Perhaps this has to do with the fact that you feel like you HAVE to go, just like you feel when you are at work. I have dealt with this as well. Then when you are out doing things at your liesure it isn't as bad.

Thank you so much for yet another truely inspirational post! :D It comes as such a great time for me.

Gamer-- that was an awesome response! and YES it IS so much harder to go back to work after you have been out.. Funny you should mention "the present precious moment" because that has been my focus lately- as I realized that I am either CONSTANTLY worrying about WHAT I DID or WHAT WILL HAPPEN!! That ...

I have just recently been prescribed "klonopin" because I was so anxious and I felt like I was crawling out of my skin!! I take 0.5 mg usually in the AM and it just makes me feel calm,( like I use to feel) and at ease.. But for some reason I feel guilty about taking it...:( I don't know know why- I ...

This situation has happened to me a couple times and I've never known how to deal with it. It happened at school and at one of my ...

The program has helped me a lot with my work anxiety & morning anxieties.
