Stress Center Peer Support

i usually get anxiety every single day does snybody else get it too?

Hi jp,
I had anxiety everyday for years and it got so bad it was out of control. I should tell you I didn't know what was wrong more most of those years.
I'm sorry you are suffering but believe me when I say you can get past it.
We cause it by how we think and all the negative feelings and lies we feed our minds day after day.
Once you can stop fearing the feelings and body symptoms and tell yourself kindly that it's ok, it won't hurt me, it's just anxiety and I will be just fine. Don't fight it but let it just float, picture a balloon floating up and away from you and that balloon is filled with all the bad thoughts from your mind. We have to find anything that works until we get far enough into the program to understand why all this happens and how we keep the cycle going.
Hang in there and believe in good thoughts...not lies, also live in each moment, not ahead. This will all get better if you really work at it.

Best wishes, sending positive thoughts to you.

Hello, My name is Gary and I am just starting out and learning how to use the program. I have the whole packet from the center and I started the on-line offer but I can't get into the chat rooms for some reason. was wondering if you could help me. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Hate to bother you but need a little help

Gary,

Go to the stress center community. the online chat tab will be at the top. you will need to register then you should be good to go.

Stay Strong

Gary, here is some additional information I found fron tech support

Now, we've heard from a few who used to be able to get in but now they can't. I spoke to the company who owns this software and they recommended these steps below be checked if you cannot access the chatroom.

1. Make sure the latest update on flash is installed on your computer.

2. If you are at work, your IT department may be blocking many of the internet ports, including 8080, from accessing certain areas on the web including the chatroom/forum area here at StressCenter and only allowing certain areas of the web to be accessed. You will need to contact your IT department and have them correct this, which they may say no.

3. Check your firewall settings. If you are running the windows xp firewall in conjunction with any other firewall programs such as Nortons, McAfee, Avg etc, disable the windows xp firewall and operate on the specific programs setup only. 2 firewalls may stop the access into chat.

4. Make sure port 8080 on your computer is open...that is done through the control panel on your computer. Here is a website that will show you where to look:

Also what type of screen do you see when you try to access the chatroom? Blue, nothing, describe in detail what you are seeing?

We also need to know what type of computer you have, ie, Windows or Mac; Browser - Internet Explorer Version Number or Firefox Version Number, dialup or broadband, and/or anything else you can tell us. Send this information to:

Carolyn@stresscenter.com

One suggestion the tech desk gave me is for you to try to access chat from a friends computer, away from work & home location and see if you can get into chat/forums from it. If you can then it's either in your system configuration, network, firewall or ISP.
