Anxiety, Stress and Depression support group


Recommended Posts

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".

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
