Stress Center Peer Support

I have come to rely on Lucinda's email which she sent every week with tips and a short message from her on the Session you were supposed to start.

But last week I didn't get one. I waited each day, thinking she will send it, but it didn't arrive. Yesterday I phoned StressCenter and the lady said "Oh we aren't doing that anymore."

I was disappointed. It was something I waited for, and something to get me started on the next session. Now I am a week behind, because I kept waiting for it.

Of all the support you give us, I really relied on that email to get me going on the next session. If it has been stopped, I think it is a mistake, as it was my incentive to get started on the new Session. I am now on Session 9 and feel lost....maybe I am picky but it meant a lot to me. Also it would have been nice if we had been told it was going to be cancelled.

I think it is important!

Are you doing the online program? Because I've never gotten e-mails at all unless someone here is pming me.

Hi,

I have the whole program. The DVD's, CD's, workbooks, cards, etc. I would get an e mail titled "Chins Up".

Jackie

Well Jackie, consider yourself very fortunate because I never received any e-mails and I don't know who else did but you were one of the lucky ones evidently.

Hi Jackie,

I never received them either so I guess you got lucky for the time you had them sorry they are not doing them anymore would have loved the support with them myself.

I called the center because I didn't get mine for session 9 and they said they only send out a few for the first few weeks to get you motivated and then they stop sending them.

Thanks for that Mary don't think I ever got them but maybe I forgot lol.
Thanks again for letting us know

Jaybee7- I agree. I looked forward to them also, but I guess they feel we only needed the first 8 to get us motivated.

emails from Lucinda? That would really have been a nice personal touch. I didn't know they were doing that so I guess I won't miss it!

I'm on session 6 and still motivated and looking forward to each next session. Had a little relapse the last few days with those annoying headaches but it only lasted 1 day as opposed to 3 or more and am back on track...guess it it's something that I need to learn to live with but have been able to control the anxiety and panic attacks!
Have a nice weekend all!

Well I guess I was lucky to get them as long as I did! Thanks to all of you who answered me, I appreciate it.

I found those emails were very inspiring, and got me going on the next session with renewed energy. I recommend they reinstitute them. There will be more people dropping out of the program without those emails sent out each week.

Thanks again everyone,
Jackie
