Stress Center Peer Support

When I started this program in early March I was not sure if it would help me....after doing the first 2 sessions I was starting to make some progress...was able to go outside my house since I've been house bound for almost a year, and was gaining control of my panic attacks(keep in mind that I'm still not able to drive or go anywhere yet)...then I went through session 3 and was stuck...I strayed away from the program for almost 3 weeks now....since doing so I've noticed this last week my anxiety was starting to take control of me again...my mind has been wandering and the panic attacks are coming on strong again...my boyfriend even told me yesterday that since I put the program on hold I have been slipping right back to where I was before...that really got me thinking that I need to get back on the program asap before my mind starts taking total control of me again...thats why I say that your mind can be your worst enemy...If you don't learn how to take control of it, it will always have control of you...

Just thought I'd share this with everyone...thanks for reading!!

Hi, I know exactly how you feel, I was also stuck on tape 3. But I was doing some progress I thought I took my kids shopping by myself also went grocery shopping, didn't miss a day of work in three weeks.....I thought hey I'm really getting over this, until......today. I went to church with my 9 year old and my 11 year old. Have way through church I had to stand up and leave the church, I couldn't even dive myself and my kids home. I eneded driving to my moms 5 blocks away. I just felt soooo dizzy I could baerly stand up or walk straight. I had a full blown panic attack in front of my kids and I scared them. Something I always tried to avoid doing. I feel so helpless and dissapointed I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like quitting my job. I'm so scared. My daughter is making her first communion in 2 weeks and I don't know if I'll be okay that day. Has anyone out there ever done this? Feel like your'e almost over it and boom! It hits againg and stronger?

I'm on session three and feel and see the results. This is like working out, take it little by little, and then you will see results. The most important thing is to stick to the program and keep going, don't give up, keep trying. Also, give yourself thanks for just doing the program. I am so glad I have this program, every day is better, I was just so scared of panic attacks and fear. This program will let me break free and live my life fully. I also write a page of possitive affirmations about myself daily this keeps me focused and possitive....God Bless

You mind can also be your best friend. It is all about your attitude
