Stress Center Peer Support

Hi To Michael & Toni Again! Both of you are relaying some good stuff! Michael, I like your ideas, and I think you have it right! I'm going to have to read that one over and over again until I get it good and sunk in. Toni, thank you, and the same holds true for you. Maybe we all need to just get bra...

And, you'll eventually come back around to this one! This is just the way this stupid game (habit) works. Have you taken the pr...

I can so totally relate to what all of you have posted here regarding scary thoughts. And, I think all of the advice offered is very sound.
