Stress Center Peer Support

Hello,
I am new to this program, and not really accustomed to reaching out like this. I thought I would give this a try though...
I am working hard to be active and "alive" as I recover from a life long struggle with anxiety, but I dont know how to handle my emotions when others around me question my commitment to getting better, and my use of time. My first instinct is to shut down, but I know that doesnt solve anything...what now?

Thanks for listening,
KK

I am new too. I hope this program makes me feel better and think differently. I could understand about others questioning how (we) want to get better, but hopefully thru this program they will be able to see a change in our way of thinking and handling stressfull times. I gotta do this for my own sake and my family's sake as well.

Hi I am new also, have not written yet. I have had panic/anxiety/depression since I was a small girl.
I started out with another program in october and find a change in myself, I do not feel the fear in fear, and also quite competitive in 5 pin bowling, which I was sweating a lot now find I am starting to come home dry.
I am very thankful for the help and guideness I am getting. I have had so many different opinions, and truly feel that I have finally reached the proper people for advise.

My name is Margaret and I do believe in Lucinda Bassett.

Bye for now
