:welcome: Welcome to NMP Jen and Blackthorn.This is a supportive place with great advice. There is a brilliant book by a fellow sufferer Dr Claire Weekes called 'Self Help For Your Nerves'. This is available from the NMP shop and I can't recommend it enough as it really explains what is happening to us, and shows how we can recover. Glad that you have both found us.

Hi,

You are a normal person!! Just a normal person with anxiety!! I agree with Veronica about the Claire Weekes book. It was like a bible to me. I wrote particular things down that helped me and carried them about with me to read if I felt a bit panicky at work, etc. (read it in the office toilet when I was in middle of panic attacks!!) You will get help from it so much, I assure you. I've had my book for 20 years and wouldn't part with it. Please buy it.
Take care

Hi

I agree - I have had mine for 30 years or so, now ageing. I use it like a bible, the books are in print and still available, my new copy has many passages underlined - for reading during difficult periods.
Claire Weekes died in 1990, although her books are still available and in print. [Dr Claire Hazel Weekes (1903–1990)]
