[Amyk77]

Hi all i'm new on here so bear with me, I am 36 year old mum of 3 who has been suffering with anxiety for almost 3 years i am unable to leave the house on my own and struggle to be left on my own. Am hoping to find people in the same area with the same types of problems, maybe support groups or something any ideas anyone ?

Hi & Welcome

I know I have said hello in the Welcome post but hello again

I don't know of any support groups in Essex some other members might do though when they see your question, have you asked at your GP'S or maybe look in your local phone book or Google if you have any in your area ?

The more you talk on here & members get to say hello you will find you will get lots of support , I know not quite the same but it does really help

Love

Hello Amyk77

Just wanted to say hello and I hope you find this forum open and friendly, I certainly have.

I'm far, far away from Essex in Bristol, but I'm sure you'll find info from your local council or GP surgery in regard to any support meetings, there's usually one or two and they really do help.

Keep posting and let us know how you are.

All the best. X

Hi Amy,

Just wanted to say hello. I'm Ian, suffering from anxiety and health anxiety made worse would you believe by giving up smoking. I was trying to improve my health lol.

I know it's hard but you are definitely not alone. And everybody on here understand exactly what it's like to suffer from anxiety.

Keep speaking on here and we will all support you.
