Stress Center Peer Support

Thanks so much for your response. It always feels good to have someone who understands and won't judge me. I have to find my CD's again or repurchase them because I cannot seem to find them today.

Yes, I have been a hypochondriac since I was 5. It was brought on by the death of my grandfather. As soon as I am stressed I begin to worry about body symptoms and how I feel. I begin to analyze every little feeling. If I am not thinking about how I feel, I tend to feel OK but as soon as I start to ...

Hey everyone! I have done the Attacking Anxiety program and had success. It's been a few years and I am thinking of getting back on it because I have been struggling lately. Here's my situation...

Hello everyone...it's been a while for me. I have been doing great but have been having some issues now that are scaring the HECK out of me.

I actually stopped t...

It led to many muscle knots in my shoulder blade, resulting in pain and tension in that area. Somewhere along the way I convinced myself that I had ...
