"HELP ME - I'M STRESSED!"

Anxiety and stress are issues I've dealt with all of my life. I picked up this great little book at a yard sale recently: "Help Me I'm Stressed" by Joyce Meyer. What an eye-opener about how to prevent and manage stress! (Now that I know HOW to do this, will I actually implement it?? I sure need to change my ways!) This subject is soooo important to me as a fibromite! Joyce actually sounds a little like me (driven, hard-working, Type A personality)....it was as though she understood the way I think, the way I push myself to accomplish things, and how I mis-manage stress in my life. She even talks about hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal involvement (HPA axis). I am re-reading the book to be sure it sinks in. (Saw some used copies on amazon and ebay.) Other helpful books from this author are: "Help Me I'm Married" (read many years ago) and "Help Me I'm Worried" (reading now).

Comments from readers--

"I love Joyce Meyer and watch her every week day.

Her best book, in my opinion, was "Battlefield of the Mind."

You can read it a hundred times and still get so much out of it."

"Joyce is one of my favorites and I watch her on TV all the time!! She is so funny too!!

Her all time best book (I think anyway) is "Battlefield Of The Mind!"

"I love Joyce Meyer, when I can I listen to her TV show -

she is very funny in her sermons but at the same time she has a good message."
