Stress Center Peer Support

Hi,

I am on week 2 of the programs....which I am going through for the third time. I am in a terrible state of anxiety...granted, I have had a lot of anxiety producing things in my life in the past year. BUT I am trying to get control again. My doctor has prescribed a half of a xanax pill for whenever I feel the need to take the edge off. However, I have not yet taken a pill due to my irrational fear of what itmight do to me. My first mistake was reading the insert that came with the medicine. But sometimes just knowing it's there if I need it is comfort enough. I am hoping this will be the last time I will need to go through the entire program again. I just wonder why my brain won't latch onto the tools and strategies I learn through the program. Perhaps the third time is a charm....

Hi Gidge,

I'm also going through the program again, this week I'm on lesson one. I've also had a very stressful year. Don't feel bad, sometimes we all need a little extra help and at least we have the program to fall back on when things are going rough. Good luck to you .
