Stress Center Peer Support

Hey Verticious, I know it's been a while since this was posted, but I am going through I think a smiliar experience right now and thought I would get some of my thoughts out... I just ended a relationship that I was in for almost a year and a half that had been slowly deteriorating. I was at the poi...

I definitely understand what you're saying! It's so important to be healthy, to value ourselves, and not put our full value into a relationship. That's definitely going to be a process for me of detaching myself, and gaining the right state of mind...I hear what you're saying! It's natural of course...

I just broke up with my boyfriend of a year and a half! It was so hard, but I am feeling relief, and scared...I know that God is with me, and I truly feel like it was the best thing to do, but I have SO just faced EVERY limitation with my anxiety by doing this.

I have gone through the program on my own more than once, had a hard time really applying myself to it and applying the skills to my life, and I am going through it now with a coach from t...

You CAN be a success story! I think the key for me with my OCD has been the POSITIVE DIALOGUING, as well as putting up that STOP sign. Our obsessive thoughts are IRRATIONAL - if there was an answer for it, we would have found it! :) Keep working on the program, you may even have to go through the pr...

There's a song by Tenth Avenue North called "Times" that I always think is perfect for people with anxiety. The lyrics are just perfect, they speak about God's UNDYING love for us, how no matter how we're FEELING, He is ALWAYS there loving us!!!!!!!!! Just like we're taught to get BETWEEN our though...

Hey poetrob, I think it's important to keep practicing your skills with assertive behavior. People who are very aggressive are looking for reactions from us. They want to manipulate us to fit their world, so that they feel good about themselves. It's important to just roll with the punches and speak...
