Stress Center Peer Support

Mary B & Lyndalu, It does at times get overwhelming. I feel that way too. Is this your first time though? I did go though it several times now. It has helped me in many ways. I think our negative way of thinking is such a natural way for us. I go though spells where I really work on finding the righ...

Mike:
What are those animals????? LOL... Strange feet. Big eyes, must be nocturnal.

Mike, You have been busy, in a good way. I'm so happy that you have seen some of your anxiety and found a different perspective to view it from. A sign of growth! It is odd how things others have spoken over us effect our being. We tend to focus on the negative, even if there were hundreds of good t...

Mary B, Oh yes, I think we all have thought "WE SHOULD" be over this... :mrgreen: This program is helping me identify "why". And at times asking why can be an obsessive behavior. I do over think things and want to know why. My advise is to continue through the program and try to identify with some o...

Mike, I liked how you summed up everything this far. Its good. I can't think of anything to add except, we tend to be over thinkers. I like the phrase keep it simple, because I personally can get hung up on over thinking in general. Go with the flow. Give yourself the short version. I personally do ...

Forever Young, What I posted could be your fear of the elevator too. Do you really fear the elevator or the anticipation of what could happen while in the elevator? I don't like the elevator. I don't like being close to people crammed in there, or being the only one in there. Thinking what if the po...

I have had many challenges these last few days. I'm doing alright with all of them. Everyone I speak with is fed up with the weather and feeling very angry & negative. I feel exhausted myself as I am trying to work my thoughts and keep myself up in spite of the conversations I have been hearing. I c...

Mary B, Hi, do each session as you need/ like. You don't have to do it perfectly but rather have some solid idea how it may apply to you and your life. Then move on, I believe they suggest a week. You can revisit at anytime you like. I have found for me certain sessions are good to come back to. My ...

Forever Young, This is not easy, it takes time and awareness. It is a life changing process and it seams that we want instant changes. We make some changes and it helps, but then we experience some of the same behavior and get scared or frustrated. The key for me is keep trying, find some new words ...

I get what Mike said Its not about seeing everything as good, its about seeing the good and letting it dilute the negative stuff. Allow the negative stuff to be what it is because it is but focus on the good stuff. If you deny the negative stuff or refuse to look at it then that can be really bad as...
