Success just about.

Hi guys,

I've had anxiety for 10 or 11 years now, iam Agoraphobic to. Well anyway for the last month or so i've managed to get to the gym two or three times a week, after spending years only exercising in my garage. I think i can now say iam no longer afraid of going to the gym.

A few weeks back i signed up for college, hopefully i'l get accepted & not chicken out.:) Have cut my meds down to way less than half ( perhaps to much :ohmy: ). Iam on the waiting list for CBT, at last !!!, along with finding a GP who referred me to the community mental heath team. Even had a nightmare weekend and bounced straight back.

My next step, i want to try and find a short drop in type course or, maybe one day or night doing charity work. If anyone can advice me on that i'd be most greatful, as would be a great stepping stone for college & mixing with people.

Cheers Paul.

Thanks guys, well i do hope the community Mental Health team can help me, i guess i'l find out soon enough. I do have an extra drive thats come from somewhere lately, where i don't know but iam not complaining:). So whatever they can offer iam sure iam in a better mental state to take advantage now, where as in the past not !!!, in a big way.

They don't make it easy GP'S, but thanks to some of you here and in the chat room i've got somewhere at last.

@bet I ditched the flax seed oil was a bit dodgy on my stomach. I take the Holland & barret EPA 1000mg fish oil caps 3 x per day as on bottle.

Cheers Paul.

Hi Paul,

Congratulations on your success.You are clearly making great strides.
Never underestimate how much you are doing.
A good place to start good be your local Volunteer Service Bureau for helping out-they do things like providing Hospital transport for people.They are always looking for volunteers.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes,
