hi, my names ash im 22 from surrey. 2011 was literally a write off due to anxiety so hoping for a really good 2012. My cbt sessions are coming to an end and im feeling alot better about everything. im going out alot more with friends and goin gym everyday which has been a big help. going to be volunteering in a couple of weeks down at my local ymca to get me used to working again. been a long and hard year but theres light at the end of the tunnel so as ive been through it and almost back to the old me im on here to talk and maybe help people who have gone through similar problems, so if you wanna talk give us a shout x

hi yer been goin gym at the ymca for about 3 moths now which has helped get out frustration and helped me relax which is good its also only a 5 minute walk. found out i knew a couple of people who worked there so started talking to them about my problems and because its the ymca they understand and work with people with disabilities and illnesses all the time. anyway long story short im a qualified football coach so im going to be volunteering to coach disabled children football once a week. The ymca are also going to pay for me to get a gym instructers qualification and train me up so i can work with them. so from doing nothing for a about a year all these new opportunities have come along which im very excited about. i would recommend talking to the ymca for anyone whos interested or enjoys sports as their always looking for new volunteers which also means more opportunities to get out of the house for people like me that didnt really go out much during the day x
