Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I grew up with an alcoholic drug dependent mother and a father who was not there for me emotionally. He was her victim himself and taught me by his behaviour that the best way to avoid conflict with mum was to put up and shut up. Do anything and everything to please her. I learned it well. My anxiety continues to be a reality for me most days. Now I know it is ok and I can manage it. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It's good to know I am not the only one.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- when I can walk for 40 minutes every day I cope much better. I take my dogs. some days it is hard to get motivated so I bought an eliptical trainer I can use inside
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- I find it helpful to keep busy even if I am not motivated to do it. Even household chores can be a blessing. having a routine is helpful too.
Close Codependency
I accepted my codependence 19 months ago. Friends had tried to tell me about it for years, but it wasn't till my second marriage ended that I saw the truth about myself.It was a life defining moment as Dr Phil would say.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- I attended two Coda meetings a week for eight months. It was hard to go to that first one. Pride, fear and shame battled within me but I knew I had to go anyway.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have had regular counselling each week and find it very helpful. I haven't had to pay for it which has been a blessing in my recovery.
Open Single Parenting
Single mom and grand mom to four children and two grand children. single from 1994-2002, and Oct. 2005 till now. Youngest is 13. Son left home to marry at 19. Three girls still at home with me.
Treatments
- Helping Others Working / Worked
- I meet other single moms online and give them encouragement and support. Many have young children and find it very difficult. We all need to stick together.
Open Home Schooling
I have been homeschooling for 21 years now. Only one child of 13 still being taught. Three others are adults now. Always looking to share and offer support. thanks Lynn Australia
