Yorkshire or North - Support/Social groups?
Hello everyone
I am fairly new to NMP and just wondered if there are any support groups or meetings in the Yorkshire area? I suffer from general anxiety and depression and feel sure I would find a group where I could meet others in the same boat mutually beneficial.
I keep thinking that there must be things going on around here with big cities like Leeds, Bradford, York etc not too far from me. Though I am in a reasonable situation in many ways with a good family life, I do feel at times like I am the only one in the world with anx/dep issues :unsure: (even though I know how common it is!) and feel that just being part of a group of people locally where it doesn't matter if I feel anxious or down a bit, where people understand these issues and our coping techniques, strategies etc are shared in a supportive environment would probably do my confidence a lot of good, and I would hopefully be of help to others in the process.
I already feel better from the supportive people I have encountered through NMP forums, chat etc :yesyes: and feel that joining a group would be another step towards recovery. :yahoo:
If there is nothing locally, I would be interested in anything that is going on in the North generally as I am happy to travel if it is practical.

Hi Tyke,
I am also looking for something similar in your area. I'm from Brighouse near Halifax. Where are you?
Re: Yorkshire or North - Support/Social groups?
Hiya,
there are several N.M.P groups in Sheffield throughout the week. I find them really helpful. x

Well Chris, all I can say is we I do my best to lower the tone. House prices have dropped dramatically here since I moved in.
