Where is there appropriate help

[Cuddlybear]

I haven't had a good day, I joined a anxiety wellness program and unfortunately it was the worst thing I could've done. It has made me inadequate, not listened to and the feeling of being controlled. I have 6 more weeks of this and I've had enough, I am not getting the support or guidance that I need.

Apart from that I looked to my mum for guidance, to just only be ignored and then lied to, I just feel like leaving this place and to escape from all that I know. I'm angry and annoyed with the lack of support and knowing that really you only person you can rely on is yourself.

I thought that things would be better by better educating myself and gaining employment, but I have been mucked about by all parties. I know my limits and I feel that I am being pushed way past that.

Hi Cuddlybear, and welcome to the forums and for posting your comment.

It's sad when it does this to you because what people don't realise is that with anxiety can produce physical symptoms as well, such as, your breathing, increase in heart rate when you feel confronted with situations in your life that appear to be impossible to control.

All wellness programs are not suitable for everyone, same as going to AA, beneficial for some but not for other people, in other words, it meant nothing to me, it annoyed me because it didn't address what I was looking for after I was told it was very good.

Another example is if you go for a golf lesson to improve your putting, but instead have lessons on the driving course, then you are going to feel the same.

If you want to and have the time it would be good to take a few moments to let us know how you are feeling because we are concerned for you.

Take care.

That is so very true Geoff. I will be confronting the situation next time and asking for the right guidance, even if I have to go to someone else. I am doing ok, I tend to get over things in my own way until something else crops up, but at the moment I am trying different things to be able to deal with the challenges that I am facing and hope to find the right help. Thank you for your response.

Hi Cuddlybear, thanks for replying.

If you are able to overcome these situations in your own way, that's good, but try and do it in a slightly different way each time, this will give you more scope on how to deal with them.

Best wishes.

Geoff.
