Stress Center Peer Support

I have not worked on the program in over a month and just don't feel motivated to do it, I have been doing well and having very minimal anxiety and staying pretty positive considering my situation! I hurt my back pretty bad and it has kept me from working and exercising for about 3weeks, I am just s...

I have been where you are too, I am 29 and at one point when I was 17 I did not leave the house for over 6months, even stepping outside was too much for me to handle. This condition does get better as long as you put in the effort, give yourself credit for even the smallest things you do! Get out of...

I know exactly how you feel, but you need to push through and try it anyway, you will feel much better about yourself if you put yourself out there. Relationships can be very hard, but they can also be awesome!

I'm glad I read this post, I have felt like giving up on myself a bit for the past few days because of some really stressful issues, but recovery is just too important, I am on session 8 and have been and still am doing really pretty awesome all things considered, no matter where we are in the progr...
