Stress Center Peer Support

Mack: I am still struggling with the obsessive, what if thoughts, I have seen a therapist, and he says it is normal. I just need to change my thinking. I know they all say it is easy, but it isn't. I was doing awesome with the program and was even off my anti dep, until one of our close family frien...

Scared Violet & Coach Chris: I have been struggling with these thoughts for the past week, and they simply scare the dickens out of me. Last week my dad's best friend's son committed suicide. And since then it has been non stop on my mind. He was like a little brother to me, and when I heard I was d...

Never Quit, thank you so much. That was some great advice, I do believe that I am trying to control my thoughts on the situation. I am hoping that today after the funeral the thoughts will be gone.

I have noticed that with my students I do not allow them being loud and not doing things perfectly to bother me any more! It has...

I completely agree! I believe that the seasons definantly affect our moods. I always notice that my anxitey and depression kick in during the winter months. I have noticed that as I have gotten older, it has gotten worse. I was so grateful when I saw the program and felt good about it, and realized ...

I have been on meds for a year and two months. Last fall my Dr tried to taper me off, and I got to a half! With anitdep! Then in December I had major anxitey, and he made me go back to a full pill. UGH!! Then this last week with the help of the program I was able to go back to my half, and have been...

Thank you for the great reminder! I am going to print this out and stick it in my classroom as well as in my home! That way I have the reminder to keep in check at all times!
