Stress Center Peer Support

Just wondering if others are successful at listening to CDs two or three times. I'm just starting the program and want to be successful. It seems a little hard to listen to them two or three times.

Since using the relaxation tape several times, I have experienced minimal relaxation to falling asleep before the tape ends. Insomnia is a real challenge for me; yet, I am optomistic and willing to "do the work". I am also just beginning the program.

Hi yall, I'm in WA too. I find it hard to fall asleep too. I'm going to try warm milk, I am getting desperate, avoiding sleeping pills. Must go to bed earlier, but hard to unwind.
This program has brought my anxiety out, and discussing w/ counselor, I'm able to be more real, and not stuff things, but the emotions are out there. L

I have a hard time listening to the tapes more than once also. I started the program in August and was doing well for about a month. Not sure what happened, well, happens, but I fall off track. Happens with everything, taking vitamins, starting a workout schedule, I just can't seem to stick to things. I had severe panic attacks years ago, and recent life events have put a ton of stress on me. I joined mostly to keep the attacks from starting up again, and also to help me move forward in life in general. I feel completely stuck in the mud, emotionally, physically, etc. Can't put my finger on what it is, but just like I'm standing still watching my life fly by doing nothing. I realize now that is depression, and altho the anxiety is more specific based on certain things, I didn't realize how much depression I had until I started the program, and realized that I am stuck because of it. I wish everyone the best of luck, and hope we are emailing in the future about how wonderful we all feel and are enjoying our lives to the fullest.
