Stress Center Peer Support

I'm glad i'm not the only one. I also haven't had a full blown panic attack for about a month now, but today I was extreamly anxious. I thought I would be doing better by now too. In all truth, if I look back, I am doing lots better. It's just such a slow process it doesn't seem like much. I'm sure ...

I thought that once I got to this session I would feel great. I've been putting into practice most of Lucinda's suggestions for about 3months now, so I thought this session would be a breeze for me. But for some reason I'm feeling down today. Like I'm giving up a life style I realy don't want to giv...

I started taking bran about a month and a half ago. I started slowly and worked my way up. It seems to help with the digestive system. With my stomache muscles always being so tense I started having problems with diarea then constipation. Back and forth. I haven't had problems since I started taking...

Thank you neverquite. That is helpful and encouraging. I appreciate it. I'm on session 4 of the program now and finding that my biggest problem with the program is thinking I have to do it perfectly. I was getting down on my self for not being able to do everything. I realized this week that I don't...

It is also my goal to wake up and go to bed each day counting my blessings. I feel that if I put it o...

Thanks, I'm making it a goal to write every day even if it's just a few lines this week.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. That was a bad day! I was getting stressed over nothing really. This is deffinately going to take some time and practice for me to get over. And say to things, "It's no big deal" and mean it. Right now I say it, but don't really feel it. Thank you for the sug...

AHHHH!!! That is how I feel today. I'm getting so stressed out today! I started session 4 yesterday. Obviously this is a struggle for me. How can I be less affected. Oh man I am bad at blaming others. I expect a lot from my kids and husband and the world. When things don't go the way I planned I get...
