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".

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
