Stress Center Peer Support

hello im also new. i have been sufferring from anxiety and depression for over a month now. i got my program about a week ago. i should say so far is a good program. and definitely need peer support.

Hi Gloria--Welcome! I found the website after my sister gave me Lucinda's intro CD. So I've been here for a couple weeks or so. I've been receiving Lucinda's 7 free emails. So I gotta send this!

today is my first day, i have read session 1 and i am looking for support, but this website seems so confusing. i am also looking forward to using the support line, i am hoping they are there for when i am going through a major panic attack. i was diagnosed in 1997 and now i am 36 with two teenagers and a baby on the way. i have been in the house for 3 years. i am scared to walk a block away from home. i am even more anxious at nighttime, because i feel more alone. i have panic attacks when i am in the bathroom, don't know why. i am just trying to be happy like i used to be and it seems like time is running out for me to make those memories with my older children. i am frustrated and desperate. been on every medicine none. the only medicine that helps with anything is clonazapem, it helps with my daily repetitive thoughts.

Welcome, Blackqueen! I'm so sorry that you aren't able to leave the house, but I understand, I didn't feel like doing much either after I had my first panic attack. But that was just last May and have working through it since then. It is very frustrating and I hope that you'll be able to get the help you need here.

I've really been helped since I've joined.

"Am looking for all the help I can get." I'm new too and like Kathleen, I need peer support too. I just feel desperate at the moment though I know it will get better.

Hey kathleen,
How are you doing with the program. i just started it.
