Is it a closed group ie are you being invited to join? Do you have to sign a contract to commit yourself to so many weeks of therapy or is that decided for you? Just curious that is all.

Thanx Kendo.....xxx

Hi Elizabeth....it is a group I have been referred to through my doctors ......It is for 8 weeks but You arent made to go but doing the full course will be beneficial .....I started 1 afew months ago but then my anxiety took a turn for the worst so couldnt even leave house so I have had a new course starting 2 morrow .....It is very friendly atmosphere and they give you advice and tips on how 2 cope with your anxiety . Hope that helps .....Have you had any counselling hun xxxxx

It's difficult, I know i'd feel just the same as you do right now.

After I was hospitalised I had individual Therapy aswell as Group Therapy which covered Anxiety/Panic and Depression. Everybody felt the same way, it was very hard at first. Some people used to have afew shots of strong stuff, to help their nerves early in the morning, I could understand where they were coming from, though they were sent home, and told to try again the following week without having to do this.
Don't do this though, not a good idea. The Therapists have noses like sniffer dogs, nobody can get away with it, even if somebody was to drink Vodka lol.

Good luck, you'll feel so much better if you were to go, you'll feel asthough you've acheived so much. Don't beat yourself up, if you're unable to though, you can always try again next week.

Is it this morning ? It maybe a good idea to call the Therapist and have a word with her and explain your feelings, she could put your mind at rest, or at least help just that little bit.

Hoping all goes well x

Thanx Katie and Donna xxx

Well I managed 2 get there ....there were 10 of us and i was anxious all the way through .....but I stayed the 2hours .....it was just the basics 2 day and I know sooo much about my illness that I found my mind wondering off 2 my thoughts of fear as I wasnt focused on group because It wasnt anything new 2 me ........I will carry on going though as as the weeks go on It will be come more helpfull and usefull 2 me xxxxxxx

I need 2 get 2 the session about counteracting my thoughts because thats my problem ..I think 2 much xxxxxxxxxxxx
