Hi Everyone!


I would like to create a free anxiety, stress and depression support group here in East Dulwich and would like to know who would be keen to join and if it is something needed here?


As a sufferer myself I was shocked to find that once I started admitting to people that everything wasn't actually ok, so many other people came forward and admitted to also suffering with a form of anxiety or at least knowing someone that did. I am not a trained therapist but know that if you suffer from this you want to talk to someone that actually understands you and will not judge you.


Therefore I am proposing a regular meet up in a local venue (to be decided) for anyone that suffers from anxiety, stress and depression or even knows or is supporting someone that is. It will be casual and is a way for like-minded people to trade ideas of what works and what doesn't and ultimately be a place where you can make friends and support each other.


It would be great to hear from anyone that is interested in this and I will make the arrangments.

Hi Everyone


Thank you for all your lovely and supportive messages, it seems this is something a lot of people are keen to get involved with.


If you send me a private message with your email address or just to say you would like to get involved I will start a mailing list with some details of the first support group meet up!


Thank you again for all the support, I feel very excited to get this started up.

I've posted this in a stress thread just wanted to add it here too. :)



After suffering for a couple of decades I have found my cure.


1.

30-40 mins of interval running 3 - 4 times a week which involves 16 sessions of walking for 1 min 30 seconds and then sprinting for 30 seconds repeated 16 times.


No need to exercise more than this unless you want to be an athlete.


2.

Following some of the thought process / logic of Eckhart Tolle see youtube and his books.


Be open ....


I hope this helps sufferers heal their bodies and minds to live in the peace of the "Present".

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
