Hi everyone, last thursday I attended my first anxiety group meeting, (in Sheffield)I was very "anxious" walking in but was soon made to feel at ease by the "Facilitators" thats what they are called. It was a small gathering 8 people who I assume were or had or currently dealing with different issues of anxiety, depression, ocd etc. I have health anxiety and have had it for about 3 years now. As it was my first meeting I was understandable nervous, but after about half an hour (it is a two hour group meeting) I began to "talk" ! I got a lot from the first meeting, listening to other people, it opened my eyes to how other people are effected and cope with it. Im really looking forward to the next meeting(they are fortnightly) hopefully I will get to know everyone more and maybe form a few friendships with people who can understand what it is "we" are going through! I m feeling very positive about it, and looking towards a brighter future.

I wish there was something like that were I am. I feel very alone that's why this website is a life saver to me sometimes.
