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 nice...

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.

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 ...
