Hi,

I havent posted much in the forum lately, I hope everyone is well. I have created this thread to announce an informal support group I have created for those living in wellington New Zealand. I am by no means an expert on the subject, but there doesnt seem to be enough to really help people that have SA or other anxiety disorders in NZ.

Please feel free to take a look and sign up if you are interested.

Social Anxiety Meetup Group (Wellington) - Meetup

The purpose is to provide a place where people with anxiety/depression (particularly SA, but anyone is welcome) can meet to gain support from others who know what its like to feel the way you do, its also a place to share experiences, triumphs, and techniques to help with overcoming some of these problems.
Also, its a place just to meet new people, and have some fun.

It will be a friendly, non judgmental and open minded environment, for all people, of all different backgrounds. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join.

Its pretty new and I dont exactly have a "plan" but I just want to see how this plays out. It may or may not be what some others are looking for, and it may not even last long.. but I feel that having something out there, just may ease some of the pain that is often associated with anxiety disorders.

Email me if you need to [email protected] :)

Take care yall..

Well done for having a go a this and I hope you can get something off the ground. I have the same feelings about the lack of support for people in New Zealand for anxiety disorders - I'm in Napier and I would like to see something happen here. I'm sure there are a lot of people even in a place this size that could do with the support. I would be interested in how it works out for you.

I agree with this ^

I would like to see more anxiety support groups around the country.
I wish there was something in Taranaki, meeting other sufferers of SA, and similar disorders would be very beneficial.

Right now, I feel completely alone :/

If I get enough interest to form a support group for NZ'ers who have social anxiety then email me. There seems to be enough of us out there, we just need to find each other :)

Hi Rose Red

It's sad to read that you feel that way. I'm new to this forum but hope over time to chat with you.
