If you suffer from anxiety, a new monthly group meeting being held in Wyoming might be for you.
The free Wyoming Anxiety Support Group will be run by Wayahead in an effort to reduce the stigma around mental health, create support and foster connection.
If you perform repeat actions like washing and checking in order to prevent something bad from happening or fear contamination from germs or disease, you could be suffering from anxiety.
Other symptoms could be fear of participating in social situations or being the centre of attention, having panic attacks where you breathe rapidly, or feel like you are having a heart attack or fearing situations such as being in a public space where you think ‘escape’ might be difficult.
Wayahead already runs groups at The Glen Centre and now wants to engage community members who might be struggling with anxiety.
The group is also looking for more volunteers to facilitate all of its support groups.
The Wyoming Anxiety Support Group is held on the first Tuesday of each month at 10am at the Wyoming Community Centre, 147 Maidens Brush Rd.
For more information email supportgroups@wayahead.org.au or call 9339 6013.
