Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Esmerelda!! You are in the right place for support! =) There is also a neat little chat room that you can sometimes talk with people in that are dealing with similar things. The best thing to do is stick with the program and reach out for support and remain hopeful. I am at a low spot, but am slo...

Well, this might sound odd, but I had an a-ha moment today when talking with a counselor. I have been struggling to get out of bed - I feel so dizzy and strange and it brings on panic. I keep wondering - am I doing too much or something? Do I need more rest to recover? Well, some people have the ago...

Hi Mack! I get the obsessive thoughts too ... mine are usually health related and it seems like as soon as I get over one, another one comes up ... and then another ... and so it goes. I have just started reading Claire Weekes too!! I am by no means an expert, but I think what she is trying to get a...

Hi there! I am scared of that too!!! I struggle with low blood pressure and feel dizzy and faint quite a bit (even if my bp is fine ... so I know it is from panic/anxiety). I've heard there are some people that are prone to passing out with panic, but if you've struggled with is for awhile and haven...

Hi NeverQuit! I am currently working through session 4. I went through the program over a year ago, but didn't do ALL the bookwork and so this time around I am trying to make a point to journal more - especially the negative/positive self talk. I have been skipping around some if there is a particul...

Oh, I am so thankful for this post! I have been trying to exercise - nothing vigorous - just walking around the house (I have agoraphobia). If I go for more than 15 minutes I am so dizzy and get all these weird sensations and if I "feel the fear and do it anyway" I usually have to fight off a full p...

Oh wow - what a great thread!! Does anybody know how I can know when there is an update!? I can relate to you SO much Joe! Checking the weight and blood pressure ALL the time ... like that is going to make a difference or something ... always looking for reassurance. Well, I am "weaning" myself from...

Hi, how are you guys doing now!? I was pretty much bedridden from the scary symptoms for a couple weeks and am now making some progress ... it is so s.l.o.w. and really difficult, but I'm trying to remain positive! Getting outta this mess does seem SO overwhelming and the self doubt and hopeless fee...

Hi Beth!! I am SO SO sorry that you are having to deal with all these things too!! I have been in a "slump" for quite some time ... I haven't been dealing with it quite as long as you, but I am so discouraged and feel like I will never get through this. The thing that hurts the most is I just want t...

I was just searching for dizziness looking for some kind of encouragement or something and came across this. I too have the dizzy symptoms and they are SO uncomfortable and I constantly feel like I'm going to fall over or pass out. I feel weak and then the mind starts jumping to a million things tha...
