Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Maria and welcome. You will find this to be an excellent program and excellent people here too! I'm 58 and feel free to PM me about anything, anytime. I've completed the program twice. I still struggle at times but it's much better than it was.

New myself . Have been told I have depression , Bi-polar with mixed states , among others . Been on a list of medications with enough side affects for ten people .

I have had anxiety attacks for over 50 years , but until last year , didn't know what they were .

Since then , I have been on xanax and remeron with moderate success . The Xanax seems to help , but the Dr has already upped the dosage twice .

I hope that this course can help me feel normal w/o the need of medication . I like many hate to take meds . The Xanax helps but for how long and at what cost ? (side affects long term ) .

I can only hope that this works !!!!!

Hi Darlene,
I'm 57 and finally I feel that this program may be the answer I have needed all along. Thanks for writing me I look forward to talking with you too.
I am in week 2 now.

Hello Mariasue- I'm in my 50's and have gone thru the program 3 times (not because it didn't work but just because I wanted to). Haven't had a real panic attack in a very long time. No meds now. Not much anxiety either but still working on making changes and the resistance that comes up with those changes. Good luck and well wishes.
