^ You weren't supposed to read that!!! We'll look after you, it will be ok. Sorry for asking the question, but I needed to know to prepare myself - I should have asked in a pm, sorry.

We'll all be fine We will all understand if anyone feels a bit "wobbly" and will support each other. It'll be so nice to meet similar people who actually understand. And if you're feeling worried about it, just think how good you'll feel when you've done it and had a lovely lunch with a great group of people! x

Another outlet for publicity would be your local uni. I got in touch with the chaplain's office there and sent them a few leaflets, as I was aware from these forums that panic and anxiety is pretty common at that age. Of course doctors' surgeries would be great but you'll probably find that they might not want to display material from a set-up that has no accreditation :(

Aww paul,

We'll all be fine, i don't know anyone that wouldn't be nervous to be honest, i think its much the same for us all.

But the most fabulous thing about this support group is that we all know and understand how each other feels, so we'll help each other out.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Wirral here, and able to get and about so happy to do pick up and drop off(s) to help others attend such meetings.... keep plugging away and the numbers will pick up too (unfortunately) because there are a lot of us out there but most of us aren't aware of how many sufferers of anxiety. panic attacks and depression are in the same or similar situations. And of course those who have recovered and finished their treatment have a valuable part to play too....

[lizzie29]

Paul, try not to worry. If you're feeling bad we'll understand, you can just sit quietly or go outside for some fresh air if you need to. No pressure to talk or anything, just enjoy being around people who understand and know you're not alone. x

SeeBees - thanks for your offer, I'm sure people will be grateful, are you coming to the meetup?

[SeeBeeS]

Can someone point me in the direction for information on panic attack and anxiety brought on by harassment at work

Where are you all meeting please. I work in Cheshire and have had anxiety problems for a few years now. It could be very helpfull to meet up with others who have this sort of issue.
