Re: Near Surrey/Hants border (Farnham, Guildford, Woking, Aldershot, Farnborough)
Hi to the Birdworld ladies. We're just the other side of the town from you.
I am going to present the list of groups to my wife, now I've finished researching, and see if she feels able to go to one of them. I'd like her to try but she may not follow through on her original inclination.
Do either of you need a boost to help you gather the resolve to attend a group? Perhaps it would help knowing someone else was going for the first time that particular week.
Sue Bailey (01483 757461) was very helpful to speak to. You'd have to drive to Woking for her group. Otherwise try Lisa at Wellbeing (01252 338810) and ask about the Fleet group, which has spaces and is usually extended to Surrey residents too. Both groups cover both depression and anxiety.
I was told that you can sit in utter silence if you don't want to say anything!
