Hi
I used this site during the peak of my anxiety problems last year and found it a real help so much so i always said that when i was well enough i wanted to help others to deal with anxiety. Whilest not medically qualified i feel that my experience and ledssons learned along the way would be invaluable to other sufferers. Im a great believer that fellow sufferers are the best help to each other in making the best of a bad situation, GPs in general are not well versed in this illness and have little or no sympathy for sufferers leaving many either in a state of desperation or on long term meds with no solution.
I have been back working for nearly a year now and have found it difficult at times as the anxiety never goes away for ever and i have to take days off to recover my strength. I have therefore come up with a business idea that will allow me to learn more about this illness but also enable others the opportunity to share their illness and hopefully take away valuable information and ideas from simalar people.
I am considering organising short seminar style breaks for anxiety sufferers to go on where they will be able to share 2-3 days with other sufferers where they can discuss their condition and what they have found helps. I as a training proffessional would prepare various discussion topics for the group to cover and also invite proffesionals from various fields to join the debate and give advise.
I am hoping that you will read this and give me honest feedback on this idea and whether it would be something that you feel would help you as i know that when i was at my worst all i wanted to do was be around other sufferers who understood what i was going through.
If you could leave a small post with your feedback on this idea i would be very greatful.
