Has anyone ever tried a local support group?

When I found this site, I had been looking to see if there were any local support groups for trich in my area. I found one, and I'm seriously considering trying it, but I am nervous. I know that I will not be judged, but I also have severe anxiety disorders, and trying new things is very hard for me. Has anyone ever done this, or have any experiences they might share? I really think it could be helpful for me to go, I think I just need a push.

There used to be a support group in my area. I attended the meetings and it was WONDERFUL for me.

We used to meet in one of the conference rooms at one of our hospitals.

I sure wish I could find that group again.

Where did you go to search for a local support group?

Good luck!

Hey Lexi, I found this list while I was searching. It lists local groups by state. If the link doesn't work let me know and I can tell you how I got there. :)

I know all too well how anxiety can keep you from doing things, but I hope you won't let it. I haven't attended a group in a while but when I first found out about trich I went to one and will never forget the awesome people there and how much they helped me to not feel like such a freak.
