slimjim. I don't understand why they won't test you. My husband has had kidney disease since he was 20 years old and three years ago it came to a kidney transplant or dialysis. They were willing to test any possible donor with the exception of our two children that were under the age of 25. They say...

bissellg--I'm right there with you!I don't understand it. Everything is an effort. Even if you know it's good for you. The relaxation CD is good. Why is it so hard to take the step to put it in the CD player?

Stay away from those types of drugs if at all possible. They are very addictive and hard to get off of. I recently weaned off two drugs and it was tough. Lots of withdrawal symptoms even weaning as slowly as I did. They also come with side effects that I found to be almost as bad as the original pro...

I honestly think we have become so "Aware" of our bodies that NOTHING goes unnoticed anymore. Anytime I go to the doctor with different pains, etc. it always...

Everything overwhelms me! I feel like I never get things done. I started crying today twice, once in front of a perfect stranger and once with my husband. I am so NOT in control of myself. I've listen to the tape twice and did the workbook. I bought a notebook to start a journal. If anyone reads it ...

Thanks for the encouragement Dominick. Not a good day today though. As soon as I opened my eyes this morning I was in an anxiety attack. Started trying to think positive instead of negative thoughts. I just feel I need to talk about all these feelings. I haven't exactly figured out this peer website...

I have had the program for a year or more. Started it, stopped, started it, stopped......you get the idea. I didn't use the peer support before because I tend to keep everything to myself. Imagine that? This time I'm in it for the long haul. My symptoms have gotten worse. I didn't think that was pos...
