Stress Center Peer Support

Mark, I'm sorry it has taken me a while to get back. Both of my babies ended up sick and I've been busy caring (and cleaning up after them) and getting up in the middle of the night. I'm pretty tired right now and am just trying to relax and catch up on some rest. I am not a doctor or anything, but ...

Hey Mark, I am sending you a BIG smile :D - hope this helps brighten your day a little. Maybe we could set up a time to try to be online at the same time at least twice a week? Just a thought.

Great post. I will have to try some visualization next time I chase down those scary thoughts, which I do often. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations. Any step in the right direction is a great step!

So, I am starting all over for the third time. I have made it more than half way before and then quit. Not because I thought I was doing better (although I was) and didn't need it anymore. This needs to become a way of life for me. But, I become so bogged down with life that I fall behind and quit. ...

Remember, this is a process. Go through each session even if you don't think you are ready to leave one for another. When you are finished, go back through the ones you struggled with or feel like you need to learn a little more from. Don't expect yourself to get it perfect the first time, a little ...
