Stress Center Peer Support

Greetings,

I have not started the program, but I am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I am looking forward to using CBT to conquer my anxiety and depression. I have struggled for 21 yrs, and I truly feel like the breakthrough is now. I am so excited about this program, I just feel like it is really going to help me help myself. I truly want to rid myself of my anxiety,panic attacks and depression. I am so glad I found a community who can relate to what it feels like living with these debilitating disorders. I look forward to starting the program and communicating with all of you.

Best Wishes.

Hi Abbey3680,
I have also been struggling for over 20 years and feel like I have not been living but just existing. I just received my program and will be starting Session 1. I am looking forward to and also dreading this journey. Best wishes to you.

Hi Abbey - glad you found the program - I've been suffering on and off since childhood.
Look forward to seeing your posts and know you are not alone in this. I pray for you and everyone out there suffering as I am.

You have come to the right place. I am so happy for you both. Please apply yourself and make that committment to the program. It will truly change your life. Only for the better, but it does take work and time. Be patient with yourselves and be kind to yourselves. This is a process, not an overnight fix. I am a firm believer in the program, I can say for me it has been the best investment I have made for me and my family. Good Luck to you both on your journey of recovery. Hang in there, that peace and contentment you are searching for will come.
There are wonderful people here to turn to if you need a friend. So keep coming to the sight.
Everyone has been so kind and understanding. You will form some really great friendships.
Much Love and Peace
Your Friend

Hi Abbey, Welcome. I just started the program 2 weeks ago. Monday I will be starting my third CD. I have been struggling with anxiety for the past 3 years. Out of the blue all of a sudden the panic attacks just hit me like a ton of bricks. I had tried going on Lexapro and stayed on it for a year but I hated taking meds and I also put on 35 pounds from them which made me more anxious so I came off them. I watched the infomercial one sunday morning and figuered, why not. Whats the worst that could happen. But so far so good. I still get anxious but not as bad as I was. The Cd's are helping. More importantly I do the workbook. Seeing everything in black and white and answering the questions seems to be helping me. Good luck and hears to a new you.
