Hello, My name is Simon :)

Hello Everyone,

My name is Simon and for the past 9 years I have been struggleing with Panic, Anxiety, Depression and stress. Currently I have been off work for about four months now after a stress induced breakdown. This time I decided to go through CBT again because the thought of having to start again from scratch was making me suicidal.

My CBT therapist has suggested that I join one of these online communities to try and get help and support from people who can relate to my situation.

I look forward to talking to you all and I hope that I too can help support other people :)

Hi Simon. Best thing I ever did joining this site. When I first went off sick 11 months ago I felt very isolated . the people on here are lovely and give loads of good advice . I'm sure you'll find it as beneficial as I have

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and kind words :)

I have read through a number of very helpful posts on here today. Just knowing that there are other people out there who feel just like me has reduced my anxiety just that little bit :blush:
