Stress Center Peer Support

KAMO, just know how wonderful you are at your work: caring, giving, attentive. You want to direct those attributes to yourself too. With your husband on vacation you can encourage him to help you deal with the anxieties you've expressed at his absence. Best to you. Keep us posted. It is remarkable ...

I was a caffeine addict also, but slowly switched to decaf. I would fix a pot of coffee with 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf, then the next week use more decaf than regular until I was drinking all decaf without any side effects. I used to use a lot of sugar, but am now down to about 1/2 of what I used to...

I'm so glad to know you are getting better, but you are only on Session 2 and I would suggest that you keep on and do the rest of them and the work book. You'll never know how much better you could feel if you don't complete the course.

Thanks, it's been a good one so far - don't have to work this weekend ( I work at a hospital in the Critical Care Waiting Room), and my husband has all of next week off for vacation.

Great, I'll be looking for your posts also.

I am just like you. I wake up every morning wondering if I'm going to have an anxiety attack and it seems to be on my mind just about all day until my husband gets home. That's part of what causes an anxiety attack - thinking about the next one. Since we are the cause of our anxiety, we have to lear...
