Stress Center Peer Support

Hi anita. Try to give yourself time to get ready. Dont stress yourself out. Sometimes I get so anxious when visiting relatives but it ends up not being that big of a deal. Give yourself permission to be a little anxious but dont freak out. Try to have fun.

Thank you iwillbebetter for sharing your story. I really like to hear about things like this because they give me hope that my life can change.
