Anxiety Support Groups and Online AlternativesI know what it's like to suffer from anxiety. I remember how scary it was when I had my first panic attack. I thought I was dying. I knew I needed help but I was petrified tell anyone for fear of either being locked up in some sort of institution or being told I had only weeks to live. You probably think you're going crazy. Well...you're not! Whether you are experiencing general anxiety (feeling anxious all the time) or suffering from panic attacks, there are now amazing alternatives to joining anxiety support groups, or talking to a therapist. If you're comfortable with it then great. It feels good when others listen to us and can provide expert guidance. Sometimes however, we're not quite ready to take that step, so what are some alternatives?
Anxiety Support Group AlternativesOnline ForumsWhen I decided it was time for help. I was up at 3 AM watching infomercials due to my insomnia and Lucenda Bassett came on and began talking about the exact feelings I was having. I was beginning to become fearful of grocery shopping and driving at this point and my anxiety was getting worse. I spent over $300 for the program out of desperation. It was what I needed. The biggest help was listening to others tell me what they were feeling. I noticed that we all shared a similar personality. Wow! I'm not crazy after all. Today we have access to incredible online forums for anxiety sufferers. These people have gone through and are going through the same things you are. The support is amazing. You can talk to others honestly and openly about your situation, and what you're feeling. These people have actually been there, experienced those feelings of hopelessness and gotten past it. The insight they provide can be what you need to get past this. Forums are the most underestimated source of help out there right now.

Internet Alternatives for Anxiety Support Groups Right now there are several top-notch anxiety programs online for you. In the 90's it was Lucenda Bassett's "Attacking Anxiety and Depression". It consisted of about 10 tapes and a workbook. All for about $300 plus shipping. It helped me overcome anxiety, and for a fraction of the cost you can get the help you need.
