Stress Center Peer Support

Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I too have struggled with writing all my thoughts down. I will try for 4-5 a day and see how it goes too. Thank you for helping me give myself permission not to be perfect in this and to struggle. I am finding a few successes each day and for that I'm eternal...

Think of it like Lucinda suggests on the cd. If the thought makes you feel sad, angry, irritable, fat, depressed, lonely, resentful, hurt etc...it's definitely a negative thought. If on the other hand, your thoughts make you feel happy, beautiful, loving, loved, empowered, happy, hopeful, cheerful, ...

You're an inspiration to me. Thank you. I will try to do as you're doing here. I struggle a lot with negativity and I sabotage my relationship with my hubby and daughter all the time with it. I want so badly to be a positive person and have a brighter side of life. I also want to conquer complaining...

Hi Gigi! Thanks for your comments. One of the first things I heard Lucinda mention in this program is how we need to find an outlet and I'm so glad I'm a writer (though not published yet) and can write some of my feelings into my stories. I find writing about a world outside my own and a life of lov...

jordanmommy: When I find I don't want to do anything and my housework gets out of control and I just feel tired....I have discovered it's at the same time as my depression is dipping. There's a good chance you're depressed and that's why you don't have motivation...that's been my case many a time. A...

Today my daughter came home from school and told me that no one in her class would play with her. My heart is totally breaking for her. She is such a sweet angel and I just don't know how to help her. Melissa, depending on the age of your daughter, I would have a chat with her teachers. They are th...

I think I have been depressed since the day I was born. I have no memory of ever not feeling like I was depressed. It runs in my family and its hell. Hey Sara, I noticed this was written back in February. You should be about what, halfway through the program now? How are things going now? Have you ...

When my daughter was 6 weeks old was the worst anxiety and depression I had. To a point it definitely is your hormones, but it's also something you should have your daughter take a look at. This is also a great place just to write out your thoughts and struggles. We're all in this together. I've bee...

Thank you all for being so open and honest! I am especially grateful for your tips, tbabystroup. I will try to remind myself of those things that will remind me not to lose my temper. I too find my patience short with both my beautiful toddler and my husband. I fly off the handle at the smallest thi...

Yep. I think I get dizzy spells and a little unbalanced feeling at least once or twice a week. What a relief to know it's just a symptom of anxiety because I've been anxious so long. I'm going to get better and I know the feelings will go away. It doesn't help that I feel tired but I know it will ge...
