want to help my sis

[cookie85]

Hi everyone. I've been searching for info on the net to pass on to my younger sister who is 19 now and has suferred with aniety and panic attacks for 1-2 yrs now and came accross No More Panic and thought i'd register as nor i or sister have knowingly met another suferrer and i would like her to know shes not alone.
Just looking for ways i can help/support her however small. And learn to understand the condition better for her sake and the whole family.

So any suggestins/tips would be very much apprecaited!!!!

Thanks for reading :)

Hi cookie,
Anxiety is a lot more common than you think its just a lot of poeple are very good at hiding it or are too ashamed to admit it because of the stigma attatched to it. Its lovely to see you're concerned for your sis, try to reassure her that she will be ok when she has an attact and although not pleasant it will pass, just listening to her will help and make her feel she is not alone on her road to recovery.

Hi Cookie,

Welcome to the site.

You have definately come to the right place, there is loads of info here, and lots of people who, despite their own problems with anxiety or whatever, are very supportive.

I admire you for wanting to help your sister, that is such a nice thing to do for her.:D

Take Care

Hello Cookie,
It is lovely to hear your concern for your sister. I too joined the site as I didn't know anyone with the same problem.
When you read other peoples stories, you realise that you aren't alone.
I wish your sister well.
