Stress Center Peer Support

I just finished the program and went from a 60 to a 45 on the Self Assessment Test. I don't think I got much from the program. The only thing I didn't do was the journaling and daily web support. Shouldn't I be "better" than that? I'm sorry, but I am not paying $1.99 a minute for phone support. I bo...

I'm really frustrated with last week's "The Courage to Change." I did things that are out of character for me and felt regret after the fact. I wish I would of not listened to the advice and have felt annoyed with the program since. Now, I am struggling to start week 13. All last week, I was not fee...

I have had such a bad week. I am exhausted, sick, and overworked. I don't want to take it out on my kids! I have been on session 7 for a week and a half now because of issues at home. I feel like a failure for not doing the program like I should. I fear that others may read my journal so, I don't jo...

I like to exercise because it helps my mood, but I find it really difficult to fit into my day. I take walks with my little ones when it is nice outside, but it hardly gets my heart rate up and I don't think it is really exercising half of the time. Any suggestions on how I can filter out the guilt ...

I am going to be going into week 5 of the program and have company coming in all of next week. Should I take a week off so, I don't stress about the program and visiting, too? I don't want to be stressed out that I couldn't fully participate. I will be very busy entertaining and taking care of my ki...

I don't have this internal guidance directing my behavior. Now I am just fighting through the anxiety and maybe making bad decis...

I joined a group about 2 months ago to socialize and find playmates for my young children. I am a stay at home Mom and started going to these gatherings. My issues involve making friends and feeling really anxious about the perceptions these other people have of me! I can't let it go. I haven't had ...

I am having a hard time posting on here. I can't figure out why posting on a forum is so anxiety producing for me? Can I get the full benefits of the program without posting online? I am on week 4 and don't feel I am really progressing.

Need help dealing with anxiety! I am tired of living this way. Doing the program for about 4 weeks now and don't feel any better. My anxiety is actually increasing! HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED A INCREASE IN ANXIETY SINCE STARTING THE PROGRAM?
