Stress Center Peer Support

I'm not doing well. I'm redoing the program. I can't help destroying my own life, and I think it's because I am trying so hard to fit in and be accepted. I made a mess of things and now I am just a big bundle of nerves. I can't get this "assertive" thing right because I come across as angry; then once I am assertive; things backfire on me. Help!

Start the program from the very beginning and go slow. Even tho it is all familiar to you - listen to it anyway and do the workbook again. Take your time with it. You will get it.

From the date on your registration it looks like you've been a few years away from the program. I have a strong feeling there will be many light bulb moments the second time around for you. Sometimes the first time we learn something, there are simply parts of the learning process that don't speak to us (so those parts don't assimilate). I am glad to meet you, and happy you are here. It's a good place to be while you are looking for your answers. Take care and be well.

Thanks for the caring responses. I am restarting tonight.
