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".

      Are Our Victorian Streets Secretly an Obstacle Course? 🚗😅

      There are two causes for this problem   The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure.   The second issue is electrification.   Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.    That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.

      Pretentious status vehicles.  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.

      I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.  Dean Richards  07888 651798
