Hi, I've been writing this post over and over again trying to find a way of explaining or warning people about the dangers and costs of joining groups or organisations that claim to cure anxiety or depression at a very high cost without myself being taken to court because ive basically signed on the dotted line, this gives me no rights whatsoever to sue or publicly warn people of these types of groups.
I've spent nearly 2 hours trying to find a way writing a way of warning vunerable people like ourselfs who basically just want to be the way we were without slagging down a certain organisation that cost me thousands of pounds which claimed to cure all anxiety related problems.I have succesfully managed to recoupe some of the money i donated( as they call it) providing i dont go public or put down there organisation. It's been a long hard battle which was worth it as it proved they were incompetent , uneducated in this field, and unable to deliver what they promised.
The point im trying to make is dont make make the mistake i did, When an organisation tries to brainwash you with a soft approach and leads to a hard sell the chances are they are fake. This whole episode caused me to have worse anxiety, depression ,panic attacks and a feeling of being alone as i kept this from my family and close friends as i thought they wouldnt understand if they knew i was doing at the time.
After searching on the web and finding NO MORE PANIC and and joining NO PANIC the charity i realised that there are people and organisations that really do make the effort to help sufferers like ourselfs and it comes as a massive relive to know we are not alone and that we can share experiances good and bad to overcome this. This website has been brilliant from day 1 when i came across it, The info is spot on , theres a good chat room and thanks again Nichola and your team for making this website and helping people like myself.
