Stress Center Peer Support

Howdy. I'm "L".

I know what you mean, and I bet you hate that Relaxation CD by now, huh? I sure do. It is memorized at this point. I am working on that, and if you wish, I'll tell ya what I know and what has worked for me.

I was just about to make a post of this, but this seems fitting enough ...

Call them "anxious episodes" if it makes you feel good. I never bolted out of a room (although I wanted to), so I never called them "panic attacks" either, but they were.

Too weird?

Yes.

Hi. I'm no expert, but that is a classic example of "anxious thinking", for lack of a better term. I've wondered the same thing..... isn't there a way to transfer this info faster???????? ...........I think we are weird like that by our very nature.

I would say just be patient and follow the ateps ...

Howdy, I'm Larry....38 years of age. I'm pretty much in the same boat...depression first (that's why I bought the program) and learning just how much of it is anxiety-related. And I have all kinds of knowledge when it comes to Internet chat...that's how I met my last two girlfriends, so ask ...
