sheffield lad here 31 postman health anxiety for years getting worse

[Alison0801]

Don't worry too much. We are all here to help each other. I am 32 & have had anxiety for about 5 years on & off. Try to keep positive. Are you on any medication? :)

Hi steve from Doncaster do you find having a job where you walk and are outside and quite free from prying eyes of management eases the problem I work on a reception which is quite restrictive and the women I work with are no shrinking violets do you think your job helps sometimes with your anxiety.

[girly2007]

It feels weird saying this because I'm quite paranoid about meetups arranged over the internet. I'm 26, from Doncaster and have OCD, panic attacks and health anxiety. I have never met anyone who is open about mental illness and think it might help to.

[steveh31]

Well I will leave that upto you to decide if you wanted to meet as only you know how you feel and what your anxiety can cope with.

Hiya,

Im Lisa, 31, living in Sheffield. Suffer from panic disorders, anxiety, depression and OCD. Woah, feels odd to just come out with list of my symptoms like that:ohmy: Not usually my way of introduction. Has anyone met up yet? I go to an NMP support group in Sheff, find it really helps to talk to people who suffer from similar probs. xx

Hi,

Martin from doncaster here - finally managed to get all the crazy thoughts out of my head, but still suffering with anxiety / panic attacks over nothing - doctors / councilors pretty much useless. Would love to chat locally with others with mental health issues - people who have not experienced mental health problems just don't understand but talking to others who do understand is very helpful.

I'm going to a nmp support group wed night in Sheffield went last Thursday found it really helpful

Sheffield is not so far and I have my own car if anyone wants a lift.

Hi, I know this thread is an old one but just wondered if there was still a support group in Sheffield (or anywhere near Doncaster). I have had health anxiety and ocd for 15 years and manage to keep it under control most of the time with cbt but am struggling a bit at the mo. I can recognise the signs of a 'wobble' and I thought a support group would really help. I don't know anyone else with the sort of problems I have and I feel really alone with it. Please let me know if you know any details. Thanks
