Support groups

[ilsonbunny]

Having read posts on this site and being a long term sufferer of panic /anxiety I have joined a Patient Group at my Gp surgery. I raised the topic of lack of resources for self help and support. I feel that there is a great need for sufferers to share their feelings and talk to fellow sufferers within a group. Its sad to read so many desperate pleas for help when someone is having a panic attack and needs to speak to someone who understans . Then having to wait hours or days for a reply to say "oh yes that's quite normal to feel those terrifying symptoms " There is nothing by the way of posters and leaflets in my Gp surgery telling patients . that they can make self referral to Mental Health resources for Mindfulness training . . I will keep you all posted

I totally agree,there is just not enough support out there,sometimes all you need is a group of like minded people who suffer the same as you. Instead of just handing out antidepressants which don't work for everyone.

Keep me posted and Good Luck

Hi ilsonbunny

I wondered if you still post to HU and how you got on with mindfulness, I was wondering if it was beneficial to you.

Best regards
