Stress Center Peer Support

I am just starting the program. I seem a little worse just because it's on my mind all the time whereas before the only relief I could get is if I could really get my mind off things. That is hard to do. Has anybody actually seemed worse when they first started? I know that in the long haul I need to be able to control my fears and anxiety. I am hopeful that things will calm down the further into the program I go.

first off welcome! It is normal to be nervous you are taking the first step to getting your life back. You are in good hands people in chat are wonderful and the program works wonders! We are all here for eachother so if you have any questions or something you'd like to talk about feel free. Congrads i am so excited for you.

Thanks for the encouragement! It is nice to know that there are other people who understand what you are going through!

Excited, hang in there. I'm in my fourth week of the program, and it has already helped me sooooo much. And we are all here for each other. You won't be in this alone, so stay positive, and keep the faith. This program has been a God-send for me. This was my last straw. With my faith in God and this program that he has brought me, I know I will over-come my agorophobia. Hang in there.

Like you, I felt worse after I first started the program. I thought I was the only one out there with my symptoms. I have listened to the CD's over and over and they really helped me to understand what is going on. The program will work for you! Welcome!
