Anyone in Bath (Somerset)?

[creative1942]

Hello, recently moved to Bath, know no-one, have a huge amount of on-going anxiety and crying a lot through isolation. (a family rift). Is there anyone on here from my neck of the woods? I'm not normally a needy person but the past two months have been the loneliest in my whole life. So just posting on here in the hope.......

Thanks,

Sarah.

Yep I am 15 minutes away in Wiltshire... sorry you are feeling so bad at the moment. Loneliness is terrible.

Yeah I am in Bath BA2. I'm just saying this to let you know that there are others here too.

I am in BA2 as well. Moved here from the opposite side of the country for one person who has decided to just leave my life. . I don't know anyone. I sleep ok but the moment I wake up this huge huge surge of anxiety floods my body and stays. I'm on Sertraline 100mg which is doing nothing. Doc has given me 5mg diazepam tablets to take one whenever I feel I just can't cope anymore but says they don't work if you take them frequently. The isolation is awful. Do any of you who live in Bath ever meet up for a coffee? I really really need a bit of company. Sorry to sound needy -- but I've never felt so in need of a friend in my life. At my age - retired -- it's so difficult to adjust. I've been waiting for PTSD counselling from "Lift" but nothing yet. The primary care team at the hospital have helped but I just need someone local to meet up with now and again

Aw I know people keep trying to arrange a Bristol meet up and there are a couple around from Bath, maybe if we can collect one or two more we could go for a coffee. I'm only 19 so as you can imagine I am more comfortable with a couple of people

I'd be happy to meet up in Bath

Really? That would be so nice I think. Shall I send you a private message with my mobile no? (not sure what the procedure is on here )

[PanchoGoz]

Yes you could, we could also see what sort of times and days we are free here? I have such an erratic schedule!

[creative1942]

would you like to meet? I can send you my telephone number privately if that's what you do on here. I'm retired now but we've all got our problems coping with what life throws at us

[PanchoGoz]

Yes if we meet as a group Yes send it to us if you like. If this week I am free tomorrow afternoon and some bits of friday and lunchtime on the weekends.
